What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Engineering Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.

Education

The Skills Gap in Data Engineering Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data engineering has quietly become one of the most critical roles in the modern technology stack. While data science and AI often receive the spotlight, data engineers are the professionals who design, build and maintain the systems that make data usable at scale. Across the UK, demand for data engineers continues to rise. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, government, media and technology all report difficulty hiring candidates with the right skills. Salaries remain strong, and experienced professionals are in short supply. Yet despite this demand, many graduates with degrees in computer science, data science or related disciplines struggle to secure data engineering roles. The reason is not academic ability. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data engineering work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data engineering.
