About Us – West London Waste Authority (WLWA)
WLWA is a statutory public body responsible for managing waste disposal for six London boroughs: Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames.

-Strong skills in SQL or T-SQL for transforming, cleansing and integrating data
-Experience working with large, complex datasets from multiple sources
-Ability to identify, explain and resolve data issues through direct engagement with stakeholders
-Evidence you can drive a data issue to resolution – e.g. persuading a partner to correct their feed, coaching non-technical colleagues, or thrashing it out on a live call until the numbers balance.
-Experience working in a setting where cross-organisational collaboration or partner engagement was key to delivery

Highly Desirable Experience working in or with local government or public sector data.
-Understanding of environmental or waste management data
-Familiarity with statutory data submission processes or financial reconciliation reporting
