Data and Analytics Intern (8 weeks from 20 July to 11 September)

EngineeringUK is a not-for-profit organisation committed to increasing the diversity and numbers of young people entering engineering and technology to meet the future workforce needs, as well as promoting roles that help us work towards net zero and drive environmental sustainability. This internship is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with real organisational data while developing practical, in-demand skills. You’ll support the team to improve how data is organised, migrated and used, learning how data underpins decision-making in a not-for-profit organisation with a strong social purpose. You’ll work closely with colleagues across teams, learning on the job through collaboration, guidance and day-to-day project work. Alongside technical experience, you’ll build confidence in communicating your work and contributing to projects that make a genuine impact.

Key learning objectives

• Gain hands‑on experience working with a modern data platform (Microsoft Fabric), supporting data migration, validation and documentation.
• Understand how data is structured, governed and used within a not-for-profit organisation to support strategy and decision-making.
• Develop practical skills in data quality, information governance and best‑practice management of organisational data.
• Create and support simple Power BI dashboards, building confidence in data visualisation and insight generation.
• Strengthen professional skills including documentation, collaboration with data owners, and communicating technical information clearly to non‑technical colleagues.

This internship role plays a key part in delivering the EngineeringUK (EUK) Data Strategy and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to meaningful, real‑world change. With a focus on strengthening data foundations through Microsoft Fabric, structured data migration and improved information governance, the intern will be involved in hands-on work to modernise and centralise EUK’s data estate. This includes supporting the migration and validation of datasets, helping to improve data quality, assisting with the creation of clear documentation, and contributing to the development of dashboards that bring data to life. Working closely with colleagues across teams, the intern will also support good information governance practices, such as organising and tagging SharePoint content, while learning how data is managed responsibly within a not-for-profit organisation. The role offers rich learning and development opportunities, exposure to modern data tools and best practice, and the chance to build confidence, teamwork and transferable skills while contributing to work that supports EngineeringUK’s mission and long‑term impact.

We believe that hybrid working has many benefits and are pleased to offer flexible working with options for some remote working.
