Edge‑Computing Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Opportunity at the Network’s Edge From autonomous buses in Sunderland to smart‑factory robots in Coventry, edge computing is moving data processing closer to where it’s generated—slashing latency and unlocking real‑time insights. IDC forecasts that 35 % of enterprise workloads will run on edge platforms by 2027, while Vodafone is rolling out 36 UK multi‑access edge‑compute (MEC) zones.

Research by TechUK’s UK Edge Skills Survey 2024 found that 41 % of edge‑related vacancies emphasise business, compliance or project skills over deep tech. If you excel at site operations, product strategy or partner management, this guide shows where you fit in—no containers required.
