Construction planner and scheduler
Construction planners build and maintain the programme that says what happens in what order and how long it takes, then track actual progress against it. They model logic links, resources, and float, and analyse the effect of delays and changes. The work supports both delivery decisions and contractual claims about who caused a slip.

Technical writer
Technical writers turn complex products and procedures into documentation people can actually follow: user guides, API references, help centres, and standard operating procedures. The job depends on interviewing experts, testing the steps yourself, and structuring information so it can be found.

Business analyst
Business analysts sit between the people who need something changed and the people who will build or deliver it. They elicit what a process or system has to do, write it down precisely enough to be built and tested, and keep the definition honest as constraints emerge. Much of the job is asking uncomfortable clarifying questions early so the wrong thing does not get built.

Operations analyst
Operations analysts study how work flows through an organisation and quantify where it stalls. They pull data from operational systems, model capacity and demand, and propose changes to scheduling, routing, or process design. The output is usually a measured recommendation rather than an opinion.

Market research analyst
Market research analysts design studies to find out what customers think, want, or do, and turn the results into evidence an organisation can act on. The work covers survey and interview design, sampling, statistical analysis, and reporting. Being clear about what the data does not support is as much a part of the job as reporting what it does.

Systems engineer
Systems engineers hold the whole of a complex product together: requirements, interfaces, architecture, and the evidence that the finished system does what it was meant to do. The role is coordination-heavy and depends on being able to reason across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries.

Controls engineer
Controls engineers design and program the systems that make machinery and plant run automatically, including PLCs, drives, instrumentation, and operator interfaces. Commissioning is a core part of the job, and it often happens during shutdowns or outside normal hours.

Robotics engineer
Robotics engineers design, program, and integrate robotic cells and autonomous equipment, combining mechanical design, sensing, control, and software. The work is genuinely cross-disciplinary and involves a lot of iteration on real hardware before a cell behaves reliably.

Actuary
Actuaries model uncertain future events such as claims, mortality, or longevity, and translate them into prices, reserves, and capital requirements. Qualification usually runs through a long series of professional examinations taken while working, and much of the job is defending assumptions rather than running models.

Risk analyst
Risk analysts identify what could go wrong for a portfolio or business line, measure how exposed it is, and make sure the people accountable actually see that picture. The role is analytical but also political: the findings are frequently unwelcome to the teams generating the exposure.

Software developer
Software developers design, write, and maintain the programs that run on computers, phones, and servers. Much of the work is reading existing code, breaking a requirement into small changes, and checking that a change behaves correctly before it reaches users.

Front-end developer
Front-end developers build the part of a product people actually see and click. They turn designs into working interfaces, make them behave sensibly on different screens and devices, and keep them usable for people relying on assistive technology.

Back-end developer
Back-end developers build the services, APIs, and data access layers that sit behind an application. The work centres on correctness under load: making sure requests are handled reliably, data stays consistent, and failures degrade in a controlled way.

Full-stack developer
Full-stack developers work across both the interface and the services behind it, following a feature from the screen through to the database. The breadth is the point: it suits smaller teams where one person needs to carry a change end to end.

Mobile application developer
Mobile application developers build apps for phones and tablets. Alongside writing code they deal with the constraints of the platform: limited battery and memory, patchy connectivity, permission prompts, and app store review before anything ships.
