Job Description

We're looking for a Data Analyst to enhance our Applications team.



Nexteq is a global leader in sector-specific technology manufacturing with around 210 staff and offices in Europe, North America and Asia.



Substantial growth both prior to and during the pandemic has increased the demand for BI and analytics to improve strategic and operational decision making. This has led to a review of the global IT team structure and the creation of several new roles.



In 2024, with a change in management, we began a project to align both brands within the business - Quixant and Densitron - in their processes, adopted applications and data repositories, in order to achieve consolidated reports across the business.


As a Data Analyst, this role would suit someone who has an analytical mindset and adequate commercial experience in data analysis and reporting. A degree in Mathematics or Engineering Sciences is desirable but not essential, provided you have experience in report writing within the technology manufacturing industry.



You will be working alongside the IT Applications team and liaise with all other departments within the business e.g. Finance, Operations, Sales, supporting them with regular reporting needs.
