This is a pivotal role in a growing energy business with serious ambitions around data. You’ll shape how data is collected, governed, and used to drive decisions — across operations, risk, and customer delivery. It’s hands-on, strategic, and full of opportunity to lead from the front.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and developing robust data pipelines to centralise and clean data from multiple sources
  • Building conceptual and physical data models to support reporting and analysis
  • Championing data governance and implementing controls to ensure quality and compliance
  • Developing automated ETL solutions using Microsoft Azure tools
  • Leading best practice in engineering standards, code quality, and peer review
  • Supporting teams through training sessions and knowledge sharing


Main Skills Needed:

  • Proven experience in data engineering, ideally 5+ years
  • Advanced SQL skills and strong knowledge of Azure (Data Lake, Synapse, SQL Server)
  • Comfortable with Python, C#, and working with APIs
  • Familiar with cloud data platforms (Azure essential; AWS useful)
  • Confident designing data architecture and building models from scratch
  • Solid understanding of database management and governance principles
  • Skilled in Excel, including VBA for analysis and automation
  • Strong problem-solver, commercially aware, and naturally collaborative


What’s in It for You:

  • Big scope: real influence over how data is used in a modernising business
  • Supportive team culture, with a flat structure and lots of autonomy
  • Hybrid working and flexible hours
  • Career development through both hands-on leadership and formal L&D
  • A business that values curiosity, collaboration, and getting stuck in

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.
