  • Safeguard the functionality of the station’s asset management system to support safe, efficient operations
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, and Maintenance teams to validate equipment data and ensure seamless handover
  • Engage regularly with wider project teams to align on schedule and data requirements
  • Liaise with CommOps, MEH, Plant Integration, and IT to develop and maintain the Equipment Data Management strategy, processes, and operational data dictionary
  • Drive resolution of data-related gaps and issues across multiple teams
  • Ensure MEH’s data management processes align with operational requirements to enable efficient system handovers
  • Manage and approve the quality of data in AS9 HPC facility
  • Support Data Owners in applying consistent data management procedures
  • Monitor, manage, and raise issues related to data quality
  • Gain comprehensive insight into the full scope of the Pre-Operations organisation and contribute to the delivery of the project to the highest safety, cost, and quality standards

Who you are

To thrive in this role, you’ll bring a strong technical and data-driven background with the confidence to influence and collaborate across multiple teams. You’ll be comfortable working in a regulated environment, using your communication skills to simplify complex information and drive results. With a delivery-focused mindset and a keen eye for detail, you’ll be instrumental in maintaining high data standards and supporting operational excellence.

  • Experience working with key asset management tools such as Asset Suite, alongside data reporting tools and Microsoft applications
  • A background in technical information and data management
  • Proven ability to deliver results through clear accountability and effective stakeholder engagement
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly convey complex ideas
  • Degree qualified (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline
  • Experience working in a regulated environment
  • Exposure to data or information management within a project setting, ideally in the nuclear industry
  • Commercial awareness and an understanding of how change impacts delivery
  • Some experience in leading technical teams

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
