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
