Are you an engineer with a passion for data-driven problem solving and structural analysis? I'm working with an innovative company at the forefront of condition monitoring technology. They're looking for a technically skilled Engineering Analyst to join their growing team and help develop cutting-edge analytics that improve the safety and efficiency of complex engineering systems.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, data science, and software development transforming complex performance data into scalable, real-world solutions that make a genuine impact.
As an Engineering Analyst you will be doing: Developing and implementing analytical models to monitor structural health, performance, and loads
Analysing large datasets from sensors, simulations, and operational logs to uncover valuable engineering insights
Translating core engineering principles into data-driven algorithms and analytical tools
Collaborating with product, analytics, and software teams to ensure seamless platform integration
Training and validating models using both experimental and real-world operational data
Contributing to technical documentation, system monitoring, and client-facing reports and visualisations
What you'll need Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field)
Strong background in structural dynamics, fatigue analysis, and materials behaviour
Proficiency in Python for engineering and data analysis tasks
Experience working with large, complex datasets, particularly from sensor systems
Familiarity with signal processing, time-series analysis, or machine learning
Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly to diverse stakeholders
Desirable skills Understanding of SCADA systems, strain gauges, accelerometers, or similar structural health monitoring technologies
Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools and interpreting simulation results
Exposure to cloud-based data platforms and software tools such as Git, Docker, or Databricks
Experience with condition monitoring systems across various engineering sectors
Why this role & company This position offers the chance to work on meaningful engineering projects, combining your mechanical engineering expertise with modern data analytics. You'll be part of a collaborative environment where your technical skills will directly contribute to advancing condition monitoring technology and infrastructure.
Following major private equity investment last year, the company is experiencing significant growth with substantial backing for new technology, team expansion, and product development. You'll be joining at a pivotal moment when there's genuine investment and momentum behind the business.
Next Steps If you're a mechanical engineer looking to apply your analytical skills in an innovative technical environment, I'd welcome a conversation about this opportunity. For a confidential discussion about the role, the company, and current market insights for similar positions in the Midlands, give me a call on 0-7-7-9-1 6-1-5-7-0-3 .

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
