Opportunities in Data, AI and Analytics

Join teams that take Data Science and ML seriously

MCS Group supports organisations that want solid engineering practice and helps people move into roles where they can design and maintain systems that scale. You get straight answers on stack maturity, data quality, ownership, delivery expectations and long-term plans, so both sides understand what is needed for reliable, high-performing data operations.

Pipeline and platform performance depends on strong ingestion, orchestration and production ownership, and we introduce teams to engineers who build systems that run cleanly and at scale.

Discover More

Clear reporting and reliable insight require strong data foundations, and we match organisations with specialists who turn raw data into decisions that drive measurable outcomes.

Discover More

Long-term success relies on structured data models, trusted lineage and well-governed systems, and we support hiring for roles that strengthen the core of the data estate.

Discover More

Teams need engineers who can turn research into usable features, and we connect organisations with specialists who build AI capabilities that deliver real value in production settings.

Building strong data teams starts with solving the real problems

Data roles can look similar on paper but be worlds apart in practice. Pipelines, models, dashboards and governance all break for different reasons. You need people who understand the difference and can guide you to the right skill set without wasting time.

Our consultants specialise in the details most teams struggle to assess. Pipeline design, SQL depth, model deployment, feature engineering, MLOps, BI stack differences, governance frameworks. We know what strong looks like because we speak to data professionals about this work every day.

Example link

If you need cleaner pipelines, you meet Data Engineers with real ingestion and orchestration experience.
If your models are stuck in notebooks, you meet ML Engineers who can push code into production.
If reporting is unclear, you meet BI and analytics specialists who can interpret insight, not just visualise it.

Data hiring often becomes noisy. Stakeholders want different things, requirements shift and timelines shorten. We keep everything organised, communicate quickly and give feedback that helps you make decisions with confidence.

Whether you need one Data Engineer to stabilise a system, a Data Scientist who can deliver applied modelling, a BI specialist to bring clarity or a wider team to support AI adoption, we adapt around your priorities. No fixed templates. Just support that matches the work ahead.
