Project Data Analyst (reporting)

Movar is seeking a Senior Data Analyst with strong analytical skills and a builder’s mindset, who is comfortable operating within complex project and programme environments.

You will transform fragmented, multi-source project data into governance-grade reporting outputs that support decision-making across major infrastructure programmes in rail, water, nuclear, and defence.

Working as part of a centralised Reporting-as-a-Service function, you will help replace inconsistent, manual reporting with structured, Smart Core–aligned reporting products—integrating schedule, cost, risk and change into coherent performance narratives.

You will work closely with project controls, data engineering and AI teams to ensure that reporting reflects not just data, but the underlying delivery reality and its implications for programme outcomes.

Core Responsibilities
  • Design and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting products aligned to programme governance cycles and decision forums.
  • Extract, clean and model data across planning, cost, risk and change domains, ensuring consistency with Smart Core structures (e.g. WBS/CBS alignment, common identifiers).
  • Contribute to the production of standardised reporting packs with consistent KPI definitions, RAG thresholds and integrated performance views.
  • Support the transition from fragmented reporting approaches to a centralised reporting service, reducing manual consolidation effort.
  • Develop insight-led reporting narratives that explain performance drivers, highlight anomalies and surface emerging risks.
  • Work with project controls teams to reconcile data inconsistencies and ensure reporting reflects true delivery position, not just system outputs.
  • Support automation of reporting pipelines and pack generation using Power BI, Azure and emerging Smart Core datasets.
  • Collaborate with AI and innovation teams to integrate predictive signals and automated commentary into reporting outputs.
  • Engage with clients and delivery teams to understand how reporting is used in practice and adapt outputs accordingly.
  • Mentor junior analysts in both technical delivery and project-context awareness.
What You’ll Bring
  • Great amount of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or project/programme environments (desirable).
  • Strong Power BI, SQL and Azure ecosystem capability.
  • Ability to translate data into clear, decision-oriented narratives, not just visualisations.
  • Appreciation of how data is used within project controls disciplines (planning, cost, risk, change, reporting).
  • Comfort working with imperfect, evolving datasets and improving them iteratively.
  • Ability to operate within structured governance environments and tight reporting cadences.
  • Curiosity about how data supports real-world delivery outcomes, not just analytical correctness.
  • A mindset aligned with Movar’s IDEAL values.

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.
