If you’ve also worked in the following roles, we’d also like to hear from you: Reporting Analyst, Engineering Data Analyst, Technical Analyst, NDT Data Analyst, Geophysicists, Civil Engineer, Geophysical Surveyor, Utility Surveyor, NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) Engineer / Technician, GPR (Ground Penetration Radar) Engineer, Geoscientist

SALARY: £30,000 to £40,000 per annum + Benefits

LOCATION: Fully remote position with no site-based work. You can be based anywhere in the UK or Europe. But must have the right to work in the UK.

JOB TYPE: Full-Time, Permanent

JOB OVERVIEW

We have a fantastic new job opportunity for a Structural Investigation Data Analyst to join a specialist consultancy delivering advanced structural analysis and non-intrusive testing insights.

As a Structural Investigation Data Analyst you will transform complex datasets from GPR and ultrasonic testing into clear, structured engineering outputs, supporting infrastructure and civil engineering projects.

Working remotely, the Structural Investigation Data Analyst will collaborate with consultants and site teams to integrate multi-method data, ensuring accurate interpretation and high-quality reporting.

This is a technically focused role offering the opportunity to work on complex investigations and contribute directly to engineering decision-making.

ABOUT US

TRACE is a specialist consultancy focused on advanced structural investigation and Non-Intrusive Analysis (NIA).

We do not operate as a traditional survey company. Our focus is on delivering engineering insight, not just data.

Our approach integrates:

  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

  • Ultrasonic testing and tomography

  • Magnetic corrosion mapping (iCAMM)

  • Targeted intrusive verification where required

We work across a wide range of structures, including:

  • Bridges and highways infrastructure

  • Warehouses and industrial assets

  • Tunnels and complex civil structures

  • Reinforced concrete and masonry buildings

Our deliverables are digital-first and interpretation-led, including:

  • High-quality CAD outputs

  • Mapped defects and structural features

  • Reports designed to support engineering decisions, not just record data

We are a growing, technically driven company, building a reputation for delivering work that goes beyond standard industry outputs.

DUTIES

Your duties as the Structural Investigation Data Analyst include:

  • GPR Data Processing: Interpret and analyse Ground Penetrating Radar data for concrete structures

  • NDT Analysis: Evaluate datasets from ultrasonic testing methods including pulse echo and tomography

  • Technical Reporting: Produce structured reports, data summaries, and interpretation notes

  • Data Integration: Combine multiple datasets into coherent engineering-led outputs

  • Visual Outputs: Generate annotated scan outputs such as B-scans, amplitude maps, and depth slices

  • CAD Support: Assist in producing CAD-based deliverables where required

  • Collaboration: Work closely with consultants to align outputs with site conditions and objectives

  • Data Interpretation: Translate complex or imperfect datasets into defensible conclusions

  • Quality Assurance: Maintain high levels of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

ESSENTIAL

  • Proven experience of technical report writing and structured documentation

  • Strong ability to interpret complex datasets and produce clear outputs

  • Excellent attention to detail and data handling accuracy

  • Comfortable working remotely within a collaborative, digital team environment

DESIRABLE

  • Previous experience in GPR data processing and interpretation within structural or concrete environments

  • Experience with ultrasonic testing methods such as UPV, pulse echo, or tomography

  • Experience supporting or producing CAD outputs

  • Exposure to multi-method non-destructive testing (NDT) investigations

  • Understanding of structural behaviour and common concrete defects

BENEFITS

  • £30,000 – £40,000 per annum depending on experience

  • 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays.

  • Fully remote working model

  • Opportunity to work on complex structural investigations

  • A technically focused role with clear impact on final deliverables

  • Opportunity to grow within a specialist, expanding consultancy

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

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

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
