Veterans in Data Engineering: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into Data Careers

Introduction Every modern mission—whether directing humanitarian aid, mapping enemy positions, or forecasting equipment failures—runs on data. The same is true for British business. The UK Big Data & Analytics market is forecast to hit £36 billion by 2026 (IDC), and Gartner reports that data engineering vacancies grew 38 % in 2024, outpacing data‑science demand for the first time. Organisations urgently need professionals who can collect, clean, and pipeline petabytes of information—exactly the logistical, analytical, and security‑minded tasks veterans perform in theatre.
