Data Science Graduate Scheme

The graduate scheme will consist of 4 placements of roughly 6 months each with the option to choose your business areas of interest in your second year. Within each placement you will be introduced to new projects, datasets, and tools and you will be expected to deliver impactful work whilst simultaneously learning the skills you will need. Data Science is embedded across the organisation and you can expect to work in several areas such as: Customer analytics — Understanding how customers move around our network using data generated by tap-in-tap-out customer data, phones connecting to the Underground’s WiFi network, train weight sensors and surveys. You could be asked to improve our capability for real-time journey planning, optimise station retail, crowd management, or forecast commuter behaviour. Operational support — Improving the reliability and efficiency of our infrastructure using smart condition monitoring, usage statistics, probabilistic models of failure impact, to optimise maintenance and investment programmes. Environment and safety — TfL is committed to delivering safe and sustainable public transport and roads, and quality data analysis is crucial for designing safer junctions, reducing our energy use, and mitigating against future climate. Strategic modelling — Decisions around line closures, major investment, and bus route alterations have a huge impact on our customers and data modelling techniques are vital to inform business cases and guide multi-billion-pound programmes.
