Maximo/MAS Engineer - consultancy
£35-65k p.a.(CWE)
About our client:
Our client is an exciting, innovative expanding Maximo consulting partner. They work with the world’s largest enterprises to modernise critical operations built on IBM Maximo. They don’t just implement the IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) — they rebuild how it’s delivered, maintained, and transformed. They have engineered their own tools using React, IBM Carbon, and WatsonX to analyse, automate, and accelerate delivery. They deploy across Azure, AWS, vSphere, and containerise with Red Hat OpenShift to make Maximo future-ready — fast.
What really sets them apart though is their people. They look at broken processes and see opportunities, who bring structure to complexity, who never say “it’s always been done this way.” Our client doesn’t just hire them — they invest in them, mentor them, and give them space to grow.
Who you are:
You’re starting out, but you already know you’re not here to coast. You want the real problems — and the skills to solve them.
• You learn fast and think clearly.
• You’re not afraid of enterprise complexity — you’re curious about it.
• You value shipping over showing off.
• You care about doing work that matters, not just ticking boxes.
Required skills:

Tools & Platforms (Preferred Exposure): IBM Maximo / MAS, React, Git, container platforms (OpenShift, Docker)
Cloud & Infrastructure Awareness: Basic knowledge of Azure, AWS, or vSphere deployments
Coding & Scripting (EntryLevel): Basic Python or JavaScript understanding, eagerness to work with automation scripts
What you’ll do:
• Support Maximo and MAS projects — upgrades, config, scripting, automation, testing.
• Help build and evolve our client’s internal tools and automation frameworks.
• Learn infrastructure and deployment strategies across Azure, AWS, vSphere, and OpenShift.
• Shadow experienced consultants and contribute to real enterprise transformation work.
• Work on code, config, data, and delivery — and start to own pieces of it.
What our client actually does:
• Full-cycle MAS implementations and upgrades.
• Legacy refactor and retirement of Java customisations.
• Cloud-native deployment on Azure, AWS, and vSphere (with OpenShift orchestration).
• Data governance, asset hierarchy design, and master data tooling.
• Automation and modernisation powered by WatsonX.
Why this company?
Because they work where it matters — in the systems the world still runs on.
Because they build with speed, scale, and accountability.
Because they believe in their people, and give them work that builds careers — not just resumes. You’ll learn fast. You’ll contribute early. And you’ll become part of a team that’s reshaping how enterprise software gets delivered.

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.

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.
