Simulation Analyst
Simulation Analysts use virtual models to test ideas before they are implemented. Their work supports evidence-based planning, helping teams understand the impact of different decisions without real-world risk.
Expertise Areas:
Simulation modelling – Creating virtual models to represent real-world systems and test scenarios
Operational analysis – Studying system behaviour under different conditions to support planning
Process mapping – Understanding workflows and translating them into logical simulation models
Data quality and harmonisation – Ensuring input data is accurate and consistent for realistic simulations
Statistical computing – Using software tools to build, run, and analyse simulation models
Performance measurement – Identifying key indicators to assess and compare system outcomes
Key Responsibilities
Building simulation models – Develop models that represent complex systems or processes
Testing scenarios – Run simulations to explore different options and assess impact
Analysing results – Interpret simulation outputs to identify trends, risks, or opportunities
Engaging with stakeholders – Work with teams to ensure models reflect real-world conditions
Refining model inputs – Validate and improve the accuracy of data used in simulations
Balancing priorities – Manage multiple simulation requests while maintaining model quality
Leadership (senior roles) – Set standards for simulation practice, lead strategic projects, and support decision-making
