Our utility company seeks a skilled data engineer to revamp our existing data infrastructure, enhancing real-time analytics for electric, water, and gas resource management. This project aims to develop a robust data pipeline using cutting-edge technologies like Apache Kafka and Databricks to improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

📋Project Details

As an SME in the Utilities (Electric, Water, Gas) industry, we are committed to optimizing our resource management through data-driven insights. Currently, our data infrastructure lacks the agility to process high volumes of operational data in real-time, leading to delayed decision-making and inefficient resource allocation. We are looking to engage a data engineering expert to rearchitect our data pipeline. The project involves integrating Apache Kafka for real-time event streaming, leveraging Spark for scalable data processing, and employing Airflow for workflow automation. Additionally, we aim to utilize dbt for data transformation and Snowflake or BigQuery for data warehousing. A critical component will be implementing MLOps practices for consistent and reliable machine learning model deployment, enhancing predictive maintenance and demand forecasting capabilities. This initiative will not only elevate our operational efficiency but also enhance customer service by minimizing service disruptions and improving response times.

Requirements

  • Experience with real-time data processing
  • Proficiency in Apache Kafka and Spark
  • Knowledge of data warehousing solutions
  • Familiarity with MLOps practices
  • Ability to integrate and automate data workflows
