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.

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.

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

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
