Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets.

We are more than 36,000 people, in over 70 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Role Description

Digital Asset Management are driving benefits to our clients through embedding our philosophy that ‘data is an asset’ across the lifecycle and breadth of digital assets. To enable this, Digital Asset Management group provide strategic, tactical, and technical services to our clients – guiding and supporting the implementation of asset management best‑practice, tailored to meet their organisational needs.

DAM are taking bolder steps in pursuing new clients, expanding our technical reach, and winning work as a collective. Therefore, successful candidates will play a pivotal role in Digital Asset Management, replenishing our team to provide support across disciplines.

We are seeking inquisitive, proactive, and agile thinkers to complement our team of technical professionals who collaborate within the digital environment. We would particularly like to hear from candidates that are willing and able to adapt and thrive in a varied environment – where technical and soft skills are combined to engage with opportunities and challenges.

As a Junior Data Analyst, candidates will work within multi-disciplinary teams: providing key contribution to the successful delivery of our digital and data asset management services, and working to build Arcadis’ reputation as a leader in our chosen markets.

As a Junior Data Analyst, the individual will immediately be contributing to the delivery of projects across our DAM data services workstream. This entails learning and following procedures to create, manipulate, analyse, and assure datasets for our clients (this includes involvement with data capture such as survey techniques and procedures).

This is a challenging space to work in, and requires an ability to learn and relate multiple concepts in parallel, frequently deal with uncertainty and changing parameters, and maintain a high level of rigor, transparency, and integrity. Project delivery may require intermittent travel to attend sites (e.g. to support survey work).

Growth and success will necessitate the development of strong communication skills, an ability to work effectively within a team (covering colleagues from multiple disciplines and levels of seniority), and an objective mindset that is able to read between the lines and constructively question both what solutions are needed and how we should go about delivering them.

Role accountabilities
  • Developing insight and understanding of the critical role that digital information plays within our clients’ organisations.
  • Creating and manipulating asset data using a variety of digital tools and solutions.
  • Learning data management and handling skills, with an understanding of how processes and people underpin the quality and usability of information.
  • Exposure to Asset Management standards and principles – relevant to managing both physical assets and the datasets that support them.
  • Gaining background knowledge regarding the management lifecycle of digital solutions; through design, implementation, and maintenance / renewal or decommission.
  • Employing clear written and spoken communication, that can adapt to the context and audience.

The role offers an opportunity to develop expertise covering in-depth technical knowledge of data, surveying, and asset management principles, and build into managing the implementation of solutions.

Qualifications
  • Educated to bachelor’s or master’s Degree level from a recognised university. If from a non-STEM background, the candidate will be able to demonstrate they have obtained numeracy skills at GCSE level (or equivalent) to a reasonable standard.
  • Good written and oral communication skills, with the potential to engage confidently with others.
  • The ability to use programming languages or use specialist software packages is not a prerequisite for this role, however proficiency in Microsoft packages (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.) or equivalent is required.
  • The candidate will be capable and motivated at adapting to new challenges, demonstrating initiative to research and consult with others to find the best solution.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
