Job description

At Amentum, we're not just solving problems; we're engineering the future. Our team is driven by an unyielding commitment to innovation, integrity, and collaboration, tackling some of the most significant challenges in science, security, and sustainability. If you're passionate about making a real impact and want to be part of a community that values ethical excellence, this is the place where your ambition can thrive. Here, we believe that success comes from continuously pushing boundaries and working together to deliver on our promises. We embrace challenges with confidence and are dedicated to creating a secure and vibrant future for all. We'll inspire and empower you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow and succeed - today and into tomorrow.

We offer an exciting range of opportunities to develop your career within a supportive team who always strive to do the right thing for our people, clients and communities. People are our greatest asset, and we offer a competitive package to retain and attract the best talent. In addition to the benefits you’d expect, UK employees also receive free single medical cover and digital GP service, family-friendly benefits such as enhanced parental leave pay and free membership of employee assistance and parental programmes, plus reimbursement towards relevant professional development and memberships. Work-life balance and flexibility is a key focus area for us. We’re happy to discuss hybrid, part-time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and our business.

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a versatile Data Professional to join our growing Data capability. We recognise that data roles don't always fit neatly into a single category. You may consider yourself a Data Analyst, Data Scientist or Data Engineer, or have experience spanning several of these areas. We are therefore more interested in your underlying data skills, problem-solving ability and potential than your current job title.

What You'll Be Doing

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team delivering data-driven solutions for complex customer problems. Depending on your experience and interests, your work could range from analysing and visualising data through to developing data pipelines, models and analytical solutions. The role provides scope to develop across the wider data lifecycle rather than being restricted to one narrow specialism. We're interested in people with strong capability in some areas and an appetite to develop in others.

Here's What You'll Need

• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
• Experience working with data to solve real-world problems.
• Ability to interrogate, manipulate and interpret datasets.
• Good understanding of data structures and data quality.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly.
• Strong stakeholder and team-working skills.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies and techniques.
• A Degree in Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering or another relevant discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Experience working in a data, analytical, scientific, engineering or similar technical role.
• Experience of delivering within projects or programmes would be advantageous.
• Defence, government or other highly regulated-sector experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
• Ability to obtain and maintain SC clearance.

You don't need to tick every box.
