Junior Data Analyst

Salary: £28,080 + market-leading benefits

Location: Skelmersdale

Ready for a new challenge? How does working for a business where over 80% of employees recommend it as a Great Place to Work sound? A business independently accredited as a Great Place to Work, with a high number of “boomerang” employees who choose to come back because the culture, support and opportunity are genuinely there.

At NRG Riverside, we are transforming how our systems, processes, and data enable the business — from depots and drivers to the boardroom. With major investments into our digital systems, this is a pivotal moment to help reimagine how our business operates, serves customers, and grows.
