Data Science Trainee

Are you ready to embark on a journey to revolutionize the utilities industry? Our client, an international digital transformation consultancy, is currently pioneering solutions that address the core strategic challenges faced by global utility players. Their mission is to empower utilities with cutting-edge AI, cloud, and engineering advancements, enabling them to optimise their vast networks and enhance their service delivery of vital public goods. As part of their expansion strategy in the UK, they are now seeking a customer focused Business Analyst to play a key role in their client engagement within the water utilities sector.


As a Business Analyst in their rapidly expanding consultancy, you'll be a versatile problem solver, adapting and finding solutions within your team and domain. Ideal candidates will possess a mix of technical expertise, digital understanding, strong communication skills, and client-facing experience. Your remit will encompass fostering stakeholder relationships and supporting the Product Owner to refine roadmaps, track KPIs and improve processes.


To apply, you will have already gained good experience within an Agile environment, either gained in a consultancy working with the utilities industry, or a leading UK utility organisation, be proficient in business process modeling and translating company goals into digital transformation roadmaps. With excellent technical writing, presentation, and communication skills, you will also possess strong problem-solving skills and adaptability. Equally, digital skills (e.g., programming, data science). Business Analysis certifications (BCS, BABOK, Agile PO) are also highly desirable.


This is a hybrid role, requiring some presence at the consultancy's client in Berkshire.

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.
