We're looking for a proactive and confident

Data Analyst

to join our consultancy team on a major manufacturing site construction project.

This is client-facing position, embedded on-site and working directly with project teams, contractors, and stakeholders. The successful candidate will play a key part in gathering, analysing, and presenting data that informs critical decisions across all stages of the construction phase - from design and industrialisation progress to health & safety, risk, and commercial performance.

You'll act as a bridge between the data and the delivery teams, ensuring insights are accurate, actionable, and aligned with project objectives.

Key Responsibilities:

Work as the on-site data liaison, working closely with client representatives, project managers, and contractors to capture and interpret key performance data. Collate, analyse, and visualise data across all project areas - including health & safety, design progress, industrialisation, risk management, and commercial performance. Build and maintain dynamic dashboards and performance reports using Smartsheet, Power BI, and Excel. Support regular project reporting cycles by providing clear, data-driven insights that enable better decision-making. Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and integrity across multiple reporting streams. Translate complex datasets into concise, meaningful reports for both technical and non-technical audiences. Collaborate with site leadership teams to identify trends, potential risks, and opportunities for improvement. Work with the wider consultancy team to standardise data collection and reporting methods across the project. Present findings confidently in client meetings and contribute to discussions on project performance and strategic direction.

Skills and Experience:

Proven experience as a Data Analyst within a construction, engineering, or manufacturing project environment. Strong proficiency in Smartsheet (preferred), Power BI, and advanced Excel (including formulas, pivot tables, and data visualisation). Confident communicator with the ability to present insights directly to clients and senior stakeholders. Understanding of project delivery data, including health & safety metrics, risk registers, design progress, and commercial reporting. Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple data streams simultaneously. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on practical, real-world application. Comfortable working on-site within a live construction environment. Self-motivated and adaptable, able to operate effectively in a consultancy capacity.
