WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR

Project Context:

We, SUEZ International, are leading a city-wide digital transformation of Tashkent’s water management system by deploying smart cold-water meters across the whole city.

This initiative is one of the largest IoT (Internet of Things) and Big Data projects in Central Asia, combining complex field operations with advanced analytics and IT system integration.

With daily meter installation operations across thousands of buildings, we collaborate closely with installer subcontractors for storage, testing, dispatch and installation of our devices. We also partner with the city’s water provider to register customer and device data—such as GPS coordinates, billing information, and photographic evidence—into our smart metering information system to ensure accurate and timely billing.

 

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Data Analyst with strong analytical and programming skills, ideally with experience in IoT projects.

·  Field Data Analysis: Analyze installer-collected data (meter ID, GPS, photos, etc.) to detect and flag any inconsistencies or input errors before registration of our smart devices into the IT system.
·  Database Troubleshooting: Support and optimize data injection, validation, extraction and troubleshooting tasks using SQL queries.
·  Dashboard Development: Design, build, and maintain PowerBI dashboards to monitor our assert inventory and installation operations for decision-making.
·  Analyze, report and troubleshoot any technical issues coming from our installed gateways (log analysis, battery and temperature monitoring, hardware maintenance...)
·  Automation Projects: Write high-level Python scripts to automate the detection of operational issues (e.g., installation errors, GPS mismatches, duplicates…).
·  KPI Reporting: Define and maintain performance indicators for daily installation and maintenance operations
·  Maintain confidentiality of sensitive information, ensuring no unauthorized disclosure of company assets, data, or documents.
·  This role may involve additional tasks within the competence of the incumbent as needed.
