About Moston

Moston Consultants is an established asset surveying and asset management consultancy, providing clients with high-quality asset information and data to support the effective management, maintenance and operation of their buildings and infrastructure.

We work with a wide range of clients to capture, analyse and organise asset information, helping them better understand their estates, make informed decisions and manage their assets effectively.

Technology and data are at the heart of what we do. We are continually developing our capabilities, including the introduction of AI-enabled technology through our own platform, Orbi, to improve the way asset information is processed, analysed and delivered.

The Role

We are looking for a highly capable and detail-oriented Data Analyst to join our team in Harewood.

The role will focus on working with large and varied datasets generated through our asset surveying projects, ensuring information is accurate, complete, consistent and presented to a high standard.

You will be responsible for manipulating, reviewing, analysing and quality-checking data, identifying discrepancies and helping ensure that the information we provide to clients meets our quality standards.

Strong Excel skills are essential. We are looking for someone who is naturally comfortable working with data, enjoys problem-solving and has the ability to identify patterns, inconsistencies and opportunities to improve how information is structured and presented.

You will also have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of Orbi and emerging AI technologies as these become increasingly integrated into our processes. Previous experience of AI or software platforms is not required, but an interest in technology and a willingness to learn are important.
