AI Enabled Technical Consultants

Launch Your Technical Consulting Career with UBDS

At UBDS, we're developing the next generation of technical consultants and engineers. People with strong technical foundations who are excited by cloud, data, security and the opportunities AI is creating across modern technology.

Our Technical Consultant Programme is designed for graduates and early career professionals who enjoy technology, like understanding how things work and want to build a hands on career delivering solutions to real client problems.

You'll build core technical and consulting skills before joining our client delivery teams. You'll gain exposure to areas including Data Engineering, DevOps and Cloud Engineering, Security Engineering and AI enabled technology, helping you discover and develop the specialisms that best suit your strengths.

We're looking for technically minded people who want to build things, solve problems and continuously develop their engineering skills. You don't need to be an AI specialist. Instead, we want people with strong technical potential who are interested in how AI is changing engineering, from how we write and test code to how we build, secure and operate modern technology platforms.

The Programme is only the beginning. You'll continue developing through mentoring, certifications, technical communities and hands on experience on client projects, building deeper expertise as your career progresses.

What You'll Experience

Our Programme combines structured technical learning, practical labs, engineering challenges and real project experience.

You'll have the opportunity to develop skills across:

• Data Engineering and modern data platforms
• DevOps, Cloud and Platform Engineering
• Cyber and Security Engineering
• Software and engineering fundamentals
• Automation and Infrastructure as Code
• Cloud technologies, with a particular focus on Azure and AWS
• AI enabled engineering and emerging technologies
• Technical problem solving and solution design
• Agile and modern engineering practices
• Client delivery and technical consulting

Depending on your interests, skills and the projects you're working on, you could find yourself building data pipelines, automating cloud infrastructure, implementing CI/CD, improving platform security, working with identity and access management, or helping integrate AI capabilities into enterprise technology.

Alongside your technical development, you'll learn how to work effectively within client environments, understanding requirements, communicating technical ideas clearly and delivering technology that solves genuine user and business problems.

Engineering in an AI Enabled World

AI will increasingly form part of how our engineers work and what we build for our clients.

You'll learn how to use AI engineering tools safely and effectively to accelerate development, troubleshoot problems, improve code quality and automate repetitive work.

You'll also gain exposure to how AI capabilities are incorporated into modern technology solutions, including model APIs, data platforms, automation, security and cloud services.

We don't expect you to arrive as an AI engineer. We're looking for people with the technical foundations and curiosity to develop as engineering continues to evolve.

What Success Looks Like

You'll develop into a technically capable consultant who can contribute to the design, build and operation of modern technology solutions.

That means being able to:

• Write, understand and improve code and scripts.
• Build and troubleshoot technical solutions.
• Work confidently with cloud platforms and modern engineering tooling.
• Automate wherever it makes sense rather than relying on repetitive manual processes.
• Understand how security, reliability and maintainability influence good engineering.
• Use AI effectively as part of your engineering toolkit.
• Learn unfamiliar technologies and apply them to real problems.
• Work collaboratively with engineers, architects, delivery teams and clients.
• Take solutions beyond prototypes and contribute to technology that works in real world environments.

As you develop, you'll have opportunities to deepen your expertise in areas such as Data Engineering, DevOps and Platform Engineering, Security Engineering, Cloud or AI enabled engineering.

Who We're Looking For

This opportunity is designed for graduates and early career professionals who want to build a technical career.

You might have studied Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cyber Security, Data, Mathematics, Engineering or another technical discipline. Equally, you may have developed your technical skills through apprenticeships, certifications, personal projects, bootcamps or practical experience.

We're more interested in your technical aptitude, curiosity and potential than one particular route into technology.

You'll be someone who:

• Enjoys technology and has a genuine interest in understanding how systems work.
• Has some experience with programming or scripting, such as Python, SQL, PowerShell, Bash or similar.
• Enjoys solving technical problems and isn't afraid to investigate when something doesn't work.
• Is interested in cloud, data, DevOps, security or software engineering.
• Understands, or is keen to learn, good engineering practices such as Git, testing, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code.
• Is curious about AI and how it can improve both engineering productivity and the solutions we build.
• Thinks logically and approaches problems in a structured way.
• Can communicate clearly and enjoys working collaboratively with others.
• Takes pride in producing high quality work and pays attention to detail.
• Has a growth mindset and wants to continuously develop their technical skills.

You don't need professional experience across all of these areas. We're looking for evidence of technical potential and a willingness to learn.

Personal projects, GitHub repositories, university projects, certifications, labs, hackathons and other examples of hands on technical work are all valuable ways of demonstrating that potential.

Eligibility

To be considered, you'll need to:

• Have the right to work in the UK.
• Be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC). This typically requires you to have lived in the UK continuously for the last five years, although each application is assessed individually.
• Be willing to spend time working from our London office and travel to client sites when required.

Many of our engagements involve complex enterprise and public sector environments, so you'll have the opportunity to learn how modern technology is designed and delivered at scale.

Why Join UBDS?

UBDS helps organisations across the public and private sectors transform through cloud, data, AI, cyber security and digital innovation.

Joining our Technical Consultant Programme will give you:

• A structured 6 to 8 week technical development Programme.
• Hands on learning across Data, DevOps, Cloud, Security and AI enabled engineering.
• Mentoring and coaching from experienced engineers, architects and consultants.
• Experience working on meaningful, complex client projects.
• Exposure to Azure, AWS and modern engineering technologies.
• Access to modern AI tools and engineering practices.
• Professional training and certification opportunities.
• Technical communities where you can learn from and contribute to others.
• A clear career pathway with opportunities to specialise as your skills develop.

Build the Future with Us

Technology is changing quickly, and AI is accelerating that change. We want to develop engineers who have strong technical fundamentals and know how to use new technologies intelligently.

We're looking for curious, technically minded people who want to build, automate, secure and improve technology, and who are excited about developing their skills across Data Engineering, DevOps, Security Engineering, Cloud and AI.

If you want to start your technical career by solving real problems, working with modern technology and learning from experienced engineers, we'd love to hear from you.
