What We're Looking For

A technically strong, solution-oriented Data Engineer who thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment and brings both strategic insight and deep technical delivery capability.

Essential Skills

  • 5+ years' experience in SQL-based production environments (DBA/Data Engineering)

  • Strong SQL/T-SQL skills for dynamic data warehouse processes

  • Expertise in Azure, SSIS, and Databricks

  • Solid understanding of data modelling, integration, and transformation

  • Experience managing CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows

  • Strong communication skills and a problem-solving mindset

Desirable

  • Experience working with large, multi-source datasets via APIs and secure file transfer

  • Familiarity with tools like Tableau and enterprise systems (e.g., SAP, MS Business Central)

  • Understanding of information security and governance

  • Proven experience bridging the gap between IT, data, and business teams


What's on Offer?

  • A key leadership opportunity within a growing data function

  • The chance to shape long-term cloud and data infrastructure strategy
