JOB TYPE: Full-Time, Permanent

JOB OVERVIEW

We have a fantastic new job opportunity for a Structural Investigation Data Analyst to join a specialist consultancy delivering advanced structural analysis and non-intrusive testing insights.

As a Structural Investigation Data Analyst you will transform complex datasets from GPR and ultrasonic testing into clear, structured engineering outputs, supporting infrastructure and civil engineering projects.

Working remotely, the Structural Investigation Data Analyst will collaborate with consultants and site teams to integrate multi-method data, ensuring accurate interpretation and high-quality reporting.

This is a technically focused role offering the opportunity to work on complex investigations and contribute directly to engineering decision-making.

ABOUT US

TRACE is a specialist consultancy focused on advanced structural investigation and Non-Intrusive Analysis (NIA).

We do not operate as a traditional survey company. Our focus is on delivering engineering insight, not just data.

Our approach integrates:

• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
• Ultrasonic testing and tomography
• Magnetic corrosion mapping (iCAMM)
• Targeted intrusive verification where required

We work across a wide range of structures, including:

• Bridges and highways infrastructure
• Warehouses and industrial assets
• Tunnels and complex civil structures
• Reinforced concrete and masonry buildings

Our deliverables are digital-first and interpretation-led, including:

• High-quality CAD outputs
• Mapped defects and structural features
• Reports designed to support engineering decisions, not just record data

We are a growing, technically driven company, building a reputation for delivering work that goes beyond standard industry outputs.

DUTIES

Your duties as the Structural Investigation Data Analyst include:

• GPR Data Processing: Interpret and analyse Ground Penetrating Radar data for concrete structures

• NDT Analysis: Evaluate datasets from ultrasonic testing methods including pulse echo and tomography

• Technical Reporting: Produce structured reports, data summaries, and interpretation notes

• Data Integration: Combine multiple datasets into coherent engineering-led outputs

• Visual Outputs: Generate annotated scan outputs such as B-scans, amplitude maps, and depth slices

• CAD Support: Assist in producing CAD-based deliverables where required

• Collaboration: Work closely with consultants to align outputs with site conditions and objectives

• Data Interpretation: Translate complex or imperfect datasets into defensible conclusions

• Quality Assurance: Maintain high levels of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

ESSENTIAL

• Proven experience of technical report writing and structured documentation

• Strong ability to interpret complex datasets and produce clear outputs

• Excellent attention to detail and data handling accuracy

• Comfortable working remotely within a collaborative, digital team environment

DESIRABLE

• Previous experience in GPR data processing and interpretation within structural or concrete environments

• Experience with ultrasonic testing methods such as UPV, pulse echo, or tomography

• Experience supporting or producing CAD outputs

• Exposure to multi-method non-destructive testing (NDT) investigations

• Understanding of structural behaviour and common concrete defects

BENEFITS

• £30,000 – £40,000 per annum depending on experience
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays.
• Fully remote working model
• Opportunity to work on complex structural investigations
• A technically focused role with clear impact on final deliverables
• Opportunity to grow within a specialist, expanding consultancy

Local AuthorityCentral London (Hybrid) £900 per day

Westminster City Council is seeking an experienced local-authority housing Director to undertake the role of Interim Director of Housing Standards, Assets & Investment, providing strategic leadership, assurance and judgement across one of the most complex and visible housing portfolios in the UK public sector.

This is a senior Director-level local authority role and is explicitly strategic - not operational. The Council is looking for someone who has previously held Director-level accountability within a local authority housing environment and can operate confidently at the Executive, Cabinet and political interface.

The Context

This interim appointment provides leadership continuity across the housing standards, assets and investment portfolio during a critical period. The role is not a project, programme, or consultancy assignment - it requires credible statutory leadership, sound decision-making and the confidence to operate at the most senior levels of a politically sensitive organisation.

The Role of Interim Director of Housing Standards, Assets & Investment:

Reporting directly to the Executive Director of Housing & Commercial Partnerships, you will be a key member of the Housing Leadership Team with responsibility for strategic oversight of housing standards, compliance, asset management and investment.

You will lead a workforce of c.160 staff (up to 7 direct reports) and oversee services affecting approximately 22,000 council homes, alongside significant revenue and capital investment programmes.

Key Accountabilities

• Director-level leadership of housing standards, assets and investment within a local authority
• Strategic accountability for building safety, fire safety, regulation and statutory compliance
• Ownership of the council’s housing asset strategy, long-term investment planning and major works programmes
• Strategic oversight of repairs, remedial works, mechanical & electrical services, damp and mould remediation
• Leadership of temporary accommodation property assets and supply strategy
• Development and delivery of the council’s net zero carbon pathway across the housing estate
• Driving commercial value through procurement, contract management and performance assurance
• Embedding data-led quality, audit, assurance and organisational learning
• Acting as a trusted adviser to Members, Cabinet and Corporate Leadership
• Ensuring a strong resident-centred approach to decision-making and service design

Scale & Complexity

• Repairs & Maintenance: c. £23m revenue / c. £20m capital
• Major Works: £315m (5-year HRA Business Plan)
• Staffing budget: c. £7m
• Responsibility for TA property portfolio and associated investment activity

About You

This role will suit an individual who can clearly demonstrate:

• Director-level experience within a local authority (essential)
• Senior leadership of housing standards, housing assets, compliance and investment
• Strong working knowledge of housing regulation, building safety and governance
• Experience operating at Executive and Member level in politically complex environments
• Leadership of large, multi-disciplinary teams and substantial budgets
• Ability to provide assurance, stability and confidence during periods of transition
• A values-led, resident-focused leadership style

Contract Details for the role of Interim Director of Housing Standards, Assets & Investment:

• Interim assignment
• £900 per day
• Central London location with hybrid working (c.3 days per week on site)
• Initial duration expected late May to mid-August

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a routine interim assignment. It is a rare opportunity to step into a true statutory Director role at one of London’s most high-profile councils, where judgement, credibility and political awareness matter as much as technical housing expertise.

If you have previously operated as a Director within a local authority housing environment and are interested in discussing this interim opportunity, we would welcome a confidential conversation.

Please apply or contact Nikki Kinsey, Group Director, at Sellick Partnership, to discuss suitability before submission.

Sellick Partnership is proud to be an inclusive and accessible recruitment business and we support applications from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. Please note, our advertisements use years’ experience, hourly rates, and salary levels purely as a guide and we assess applications based on the experience and skills evidenced on the CV.
