Job description

Vulcain Engineering, an international engineering consultancy, supports global industrial leaders in their transition to a more responsible and sustainable future. We support our customers in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of their complex infrastructure projects that will shape the world of tomorrow. With operations in 17 countries and employing over 6,000 staff worldwide, our business responds to the needs of our clients by delivering high-value engineering expertise tailored to our clients’ most complex challenges.

In the UK, we have a key focus in the Nuclear sector, contributing to ground breaking projects, such as Hinkley Point C (HPC).

The Position: Data Analyst

We are seeking a Systems & Data Analyst to join the Quality function, providing independent insight into programme performance across the Hinkley Point C project. This role will be responsible for transforming complex data into meaningful intelligence, enabling informed decision-making and driving continuous improvement across quality and operational performance.

The successful candidate will act as a key reporting and analytics specialist, developing Power BI dashboards, improving data quality, and delivering performance insights that support programme objectives within a large-scale, highly regulated project environment.

Some of the main responsibilities of the Data Analyst will include:

• Design, develop and maintain advanced Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions to support performance management across the programme.
• Analyse large and complex datasets to identify key trends, performance issues, risks and opportunities.
• Produce accurate and insightful management information to support operational and strategic decision-making.
• Develop and maintain data models, reporting structures and visualisations that improve understanding of programme performance.
• Support the extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) of data from multiple sources to ensure consistency and reliability of reporting outputs.
• Investigate performance trends and root causes, providing recommendations to improve business outcomes and operational effectiveness.
• Work closely with stakeholders to gather reporting requirements and translate business needs into effective analytical solutions.
• Promote data quality, reporting standards and governance practices to establish trusted and reliable management information.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives through the provision of performance analytics and business intelligence expertise.

This is an excellent opportunity for a data-driven professional who can move beyond producing reports to deliver genuine business insight. The role offers the chance to influence programme performance and contribute to the successful delivery of one of the UK's largest and most complex infrastructure projects.

Preferred Profile:

Alongside a commitment to our values of Care & Compassion, Performance, Team Spirit, and Inclusiveness, we are looking for individuals who can bring the following:

• Demonstrable experience developing advanced Power BI dashboards and business intelligence solutions.
• Strong data analysis, reporting and data visualisation skills.
• Experience managing and interpreting large, complex datasets from multiple sources.
• Knowledge of ETL processes, data modelling and reporting architecture.
• Proven ability to identify trends, investigate root causes and provide actionable recommendations.
• Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and requirements gathering skills.
• Degree qualified in a numerate discipline, such as Data Analytics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience within major infrastructure, engineering, construction or capital project environments is desirable.
• Project management qualifications or training, such as APM PMQ or PRINCE2, would be advantageous.
• Experience supporting Quality, Project Controls, Performance Management or Programme Delivery functions would be beneficial.
• Experience working within a highly regulated industry, such as nuclear, defence, energy or transportation, is highly desirable.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not guaranteed and is assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on role criticality and project needs. Many of our UK projects require high-level security clearance, meaning we can often only consider candidates with an existing, indefinite right to work in the UK. Exceptionally, we may consider visa sponsorship for applicants with niche experience aligned to our core work (e.g. EPR/nuclear new build).

We offer a competitive salary tailored to your experience and background.

We also offer a benefits package, both standard and enhanced, which is designed to support your wellbeing, development, and financial future, including:

• 25 Days Annual Leave + Bank Holidays, with the ability to swap bank holidays for cultural or religious celebrations
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Neonatal Care Leave
• Employee Referral Scheme
• Private Medical & Dental Insurance
• Electric Vehicle Scheme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Training & Development, including additional qualifications and accreditations relevant to your role
• Travel Insurance – for both business and personal travel
• Employee Assistance Programme

At Vulcain Engineering, we offer more than just a job, we offer a rewarding career with endless opportunities for growth and development. You'll be part of a talented team of professionals working on exciting and meaningful projects and making a real impact to the nuclear industry.

We offer a dynamic and collaborative work environment where your talents are valued, and your contributions are recognised.

Join us in shaping the future of the nuclear industry and driving innovation to new heights.
