About Griggs

Griggs is a premier construction company based in Hertfordshire, renowned for our commitment to exceptional quality and detail in luxury residential developments. As we look to the future, we are embracing innovation and digital transformation to enhance how we work, build, and deliver. With a friendly, collaborative culture at our core, we’re investing in the right people and tools to stay ahead in an increasingly tech-driven industry.

The Role

We’re looking for a curious, sharp-minded, and forward-thinking AI and Digital Innovation Analyst to join our evolving team. This new and exciting role offers the chance to shape how we use data, automation, and emerging technologies across the business. You'll play a central part in identifying and implementing AI solutions and digital tools to improve operational efficiency, streamline processes, and drive decision-making through smarter use of data.

Working in a hybrid capacity with access to our London/Home Counties HQ and occasional site visits, you’ll collaborate closely with teams across the business – from construction and technical to commercial and marketing – helping to embed digital innovation in our everyday work.

Key Responsibilities

  • AI & Tech Solutions:Identify, evaluate, and implement AI tools and digital technologies that can enhance productivity, automation, and business intelligence.
  • Data Analysis & Insights:Collect and analyse data to generate insights, create dashboards, and support strategic decisions across departments.
  • Digital Transformation Projects:Support and lead projects focused on improving digital workflows and optimising internal systems.
  • Innovation Champion:Stay up to date with the latest developments in AI, machine learning, and construction tech. Propose and pilot new ideas that push us forward.
  • Training & Support:Help colleagues embrace new tools by creating clear documentation, offering training sessions, and acting as a go-to support.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re after someone who’s a rare blend of tech-savvy and people-smart – someone who can think strategically but roll up their sleeves to get things done. Specifically, you’ll bring:

  • Experience in a data analysis, digital innovation, or tech transformation role (construction industry experience is a bonus but not essential)
  • Working knowledge of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot, Midjourney) and business data platforms (e.g. Power BI, Excel, Google Workspace)
  • A natural curiosity for how things work, and a drive to make them better
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills – able to translate techy stuff into plain English
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and keep projects on track
  • A proactive, can-do mindset with a healthy appetite for learning and experimentation

Desirable:

  • Experience with BIM tools, CRM integrations, or APIs
  • Comfortable managing small projects and presenting ideas to a variety of stakeholders
  • Knowledge of or interest in construction industry workflows, systems, or operational challenges

Perks and Benefits

  • Competitive salary, benchmarked against the market
  • 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, and your birthday off
  • Access to a Virtual GP service, healthcare cash plan, and mental health support
  • Employee discount programme and referral bonus scheme
  • Regular team-building events and legendary Christmas parties
  • Commitment to your professional development with training opportunities tailored to your growth

How to Apply

This is your chance to bring innovation to an industry that’s ready for transformation. If you're excited about the potential of AI and digital tools to shape the future of construction – and want to do that in a business that values its people as much as its projects – then we’d love to hear from you.

Griggs is proud to be an equal opportunities employer.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

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

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

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

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
