This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing Managed Services Provider supporting construction and project-based organisations, where digital systems, data, and process improvement sit at the heart of what they do.

The role

As Digital Systems Lead, you will take ownership of key operational and project delivery platforms used across live construction environments. Your focus will be on optimising digital workflows, improving data integrity, and ensuring systems genuinely support project teams on site and in the office.

You will work closely with project managers, commercial teams, site teams, and senior stakeholders to ensure technology is practical, secure, and fit for purpose.

This role is contractually based in Kent, with three days per week onsite at Central London client locations and two days remote. Occasional additional travel to Kent or other client sites may be required.

Key responsibilities

  • Owning and managing core digital systems used across construction projects

  • Automating reporting and improving real-time access to project and operational data

  • Producing dashboards, analytics, and management reporting using Power BI

  • Managing user access, permissions, and role-based security

  • Ensuring systems meet cybersecurity, data protection, and best-practice standards

  • Analysing system performance, data quality, and user feedback to drive continuous improvement

  • Providing structured training and hands-on support to both site-based and office-based users

  • Liaising with external software providers around licensing, updates, integrations, and technical issues

  • Managing system licences, renewals, and associated budgets

    What they are looking for

    This role will suit someone with hands-on experience supporting and improving digital systems within construction, fit-out, engineering, or project-led environments.

    You will ideally have:

  • Experience managing construction or project delivery platforms (for example Procore, Power BI, 1Breadcrumb, Evision, or similar)

  • A strong understanding of construction project lifecycles and live site environments

  • Experience integrating systems and improving workflows across projects

  • Confidence supporting both technical and non-technical users

  • Experience delivering training that drives real adoption

  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a focus on continuous improvement

    Skills & approach

  • Strong technical and analytical capability

  • Able to translate operational challenges into practical digital solutions

  • Comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels, from site operatives to senior management

  • Highly organised and able to manage multiple systems and priorities

  • Commercially aware, with an understanding of how data supports decision-making

    Key systems & environment

  • Construction project and document management platforms

  • ERP and commercial management systems

  • Power BI for reporting and dashboards

How Many Cyber Security Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cyber Security Job?

If you are trying to build or move forward in a cyber security career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know never ends. One job advert asks for SIEM platforms, another mentions penetration testing tools, another lists cloud security, threat intelligence platforms, endpoint detection, scripting languages and compliance frameworks. Scroll LinkedIn and it gets worse. Everyone seems to “know” dozens of tools, certifications and platforms. Here is the reality most cyber security hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand risk, can think like an attacker and a defender, follow process, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure. Tools matter — but only when they support those outcomes. So how many cyber security tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific and how to focus your learning so you look credible, not overwhelmed.

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
