Job Description

The Role  

Working as part of a small team, you will help address the challenges of big data for the modern business.

The role specifically involves being part of project teams undertaking Business Intelligence related projects and solutions. The position is varied and will offer the potential to get involved in many areas of our projects, including Database design and build, software architecture and build, and data migration and integration. There will be flexibility to work on several projects, across numerous industries, giving a well-rounded introduction to the BI industry.  Additionally, you will be expected to undertake several extra internal responsibilities that assist the management team in company development.

We’re looking for a dynamic individual with exceptional interpersonal skills who is passionate about the industry and eager to learn new skills. The successful candidate may be offered a permanent, graduate position on conditional completion of their final year.  

"My placement year at TTUK&I was a truly rewarding experience which was made even better by the great

company culture. I got to work across multiple real-world projects with different clients throughout the year

alongside the best people in the industry. I developed not only my technical skill-set but my personal skills too,

thanks to the great training and support provided by the Adatis team. I strongly encourage anyone who is

looking to apply!" -Alex Kordabacheh, Portsmouth University, Business Information Systems

 

The Requirements

You will have completed your second year at University and seeking a 1 year industry placement. Whilst a degree in a related area is desirable, we will consider candidates who demonstrate a genuine passion for data analytics.

Whilst we adopt a flexible approach to working, you can expect to spend your working time at our offices in London or Farnham, working on client sites, or at home; so a degree of flexibility will be required.
This is a client-facing role; therefore, you must be comfortable discussing technical concepts in clear and concise language. You must have good communication skills and an ability to work to tight time scales and under pressure.


Qualifications

Training and Development

All roles include plenty of on-the-job experience. As an undergraduate, you will also enjoy technical and consulting training sessions. These will give you the skills and competencies needed to continue to provide innovative solutions to meet our clients’ needs, as well as building your confidence and experience in proactively managing client relationships.

As you progress through your career, you will have access to a variety of interactive training sessions to increase your experience and help you develop into a Consultant more quickly.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
