How often do you get to build a company's AI capability from the ground up, with the licences already bought and the leadership already sold on it?

This is a hands-on role with an established engineering group operating from multiple sites across the UK and mainland Europe. The IT team have made a start with Copilot and the wider Microsoft 365 stack, and now want a specialist to take it on and own it: you'd set the direction, build the solutions and be the name everyone in the business associates with AI. An internal AI policy is close to sign-off, so the governance groundwork is being done for you.

There's a pipeline of work waiting rather than a blank page. Early projects include a Copilot-driven portal that lets staff pull answers out of SharePoint instead of hunting for them, document AI to replace a print-and-scan invoicing process in finance, and a major data analytics project at one of the European sites that was heading to an outside consultancy until the business decided to hire this role instead. You'd also design the training material and run sessions with users across the organisation, so you need to enjoy the people side as much as the build side.

You'll have used AI and automation in a business setting rather than just at home: building agents, chatbots or automations on the Microsoft stack, working with SharePoint and Power Platform, and helping colleagues adopt what you've built. A full driving licence is needed as you'll visit other sites, with occasional European travel. Copilot Studio, AI Builder, Power BI and Microsoft certifications are all a plus rather than essential.
