About the Role:

We are looking for a Transport Modeller and Data Analyst. You will ideally already have experience in Transport Modelling (and preferably within aviation) and may be looking to step-up into a mid-level position. You will have excellent analytical skills and a desire to generate insights and drive improvement through modelling and data analysis. The role could be based from our Farnborough, Hampshire office in the UK, or from our Zilina office in Slovakia, and would suit an ambitious and enthusiastic candidate. You would join a small group of passionate industry experts within a well-established and successful aviation consultancy.

As a Transport Modelling Consultant, you will have opportunities carry out a range of roles on local, national and international projects. Many of our projects are multidisciplinary with opportunities to work on transport planning, modelling and economics projects, as well as in wider consultancy disciplines such as operational or safety assessments, feasibility studies, benchmarking or strategic consulting. Working under guidance of our senior colleagues, you will undertake a variety of aviation-related planning studies and operational performance assessments. These may include:


  • Participation in defining the scope of the fast time simulation models, development method(s), model calibration/validation processes and outputs.
  • Data gathering, validation and pre-processing for the purpose of developing the fast time simulation models. Ability to work with various formats (mostly .Csv, .Xml, .Json)
  • Development, calibration, validation and testing of airport and airspace fast time simulation models using specific aviation modelling software
  • Running the fast time simulations and analysis of results from each modelling exercise
  • Contribution to airport/airspace masterplans, capacity studies and operational assessments
  • Development and maintenance of project databases,
  • Development of PowerBI dashboards with focus on aviation performance metrics,
  • Development of interfaces between Egis’ airport/airspace simulation tools and available databases,
  • Writing of technical reports and presentations
  • Attendance and presentation of material at design meetings and other project related meetings
  • Support to the marketing team in business development activities including input to tenders


What we need from you:

  • A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience with preference for an air transport related qualification
  • Basic understanding of transport modelling concepts (e.G. fast time simulations)
  • Excellent numerical skills including experience of using complex spreadsheets and databases
  • A high sense of accountability with an ability to work in a fast-paced environment, with a drive to deliver high quality work
  • Ability and motivation to manage own work including inputs from others to time and to budget
  • Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal) with the ability to distil and present technical work to non-technical audiences
  • The ability to work with a range of project stakeholders, contractors and clients
  • Recognition that international work brings international travel, and a willingness to undertake commissions overseas, potentially for extended periods away from the UK


Desirable skills/experience (order of preference):

  • Experience of working with airport/airspace simulation software (e.G. AirTOp, NEST, REDIM, AEDT, INM, EDMS or others)
  • Experience in airfield and/or terminal operations
  • Experience with GIS software (QGIS, ArcGIS etc.) and data types (ESRI shapefiles, KML etc.)
  • Experience with Microsoft SQL or MySQL
  • Experience with pivot tables and VBA macros
  • Basic familiarity with XML schemas
  • Experience with Python or R
  • Professional membership to a relevant body

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.
