Job Title: EY - GDS Consulting - AI And DATA - Data Scientist - Opt - Manager

Data Scientist Optimisation

Role Overview

Design and scale large optimisation models for strategic mine planning, solving complex scheduling, blending, and capacity problems to support long-term operational decisions

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and maintain with linear programming/ mixed integer programming/ network/flow-based optimisation models
- Model constraints (capacity, sequencing, blending, costs, boundaries, etc.)
- Integrate and tune optimisation solvers
- Diagnose infeasibility, performance, and stability issues
- Validate outputs via testing, cross-checks, and alternative formulations
- Collaborate with product and domain teams to translate requirements into models
- Own solution correctness and justify optimisation outputs.

Required Skills
