Turn data into real decisions, shape strategy, influence outcomes, execute. Work closely with leaders where your insight drives and impact results. Full description.

• Hybrid contract role - 12 months duration
• Sunny Bay location and lifestyle
• Immediate strategic impact

This isn't a "keep the lights on" contract.

It's an opportunity for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to step into a business at a pivotal point, help establish the foundations of a modern data platform, and leave behind capability that will influence strategic decision-making for years to come.

We're looking for someone who moves seamlessly from architecture to insight, from engineering to influence - someone who enjoys building data environments that drive real business outcomes and is comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders as naturally as they work with technology.

Over the next 12 months, you'll be an integral part of the development of a modern, fit-for-purpose data platform that enables smarter, faster and more confident decision-making across the organisation.

Starting from a relatively low level of maturity, you'll have the opportunity to shape the direction of the platform from day one. Rather than inheriting someone else's architecture, you'll help determine the early stages of the build, why it matters, and how it evolves into a scalable, future-ready environment.

This is a hands-on contract where you'll deliver tangible outcomes while helping establish the foundations for long-term success.

You'll be part of a team designing and building robust end-to-end data pipelines, bringing together multiple data sources into a trusted, reliable platform.

You'll establish scalable orchestration, data governance and security practices while ensuring information is accurate, accessible and genuinely useful to the people making business decisions.

Working closely with senior leaders and business stakeholders, you'll translate complex technical concepts into practical insights, helping turn data into better operational and strategic decisions.

You'll also introduce modern engineering practices, improve data quality, create meaningful visualisations, and implement predictive analytics where appropriate.

• Twelve-month engagement with meaningful, business-critical outcomes.
• Genuine ownership of platform design and implementation.
• Opportunity to influence senior leadership and organisational strategy.
• Modern Microsoft data environment with scope to introduce best practice.
• Autonomy to make decisions and deliver lasting value.

You'll have proven experience designing and delivering enterprise data platforms, with strong expertise across data engineering, ETL/ELT, analytics and visualisation.

You'll be comfortable building production-ready pipelines, implementing orchestration, establishing governance standards and working across modern Microsoft technologies. Experience with Fabric, OneLake or similar cloud data platforms will be highly regarded.

Equally important is your ability to engage with stakeholders, understand business priorities and convert technical capability into practical commercial outcomes.

You're someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity.

You think strategically while remaining hands-on. You're commercially aware, naturally collaborative and comfortable working with ambiguity. Rather than simply delivering technical solutions, you enjoy helping organisations become genuinely data-driven, because this is an identified competitive advantage for them.

Most importantly, you're motivated by building something worthwhile and leaving it in a stronger position than when you arrived.

• 12-month contract
• Excellent daily or hourly rate
• Immediate, quick, or planned start
• Opportunity to help build a modern data platform from the early stages
• Autonomy, flexibility and genuine influence
• A project where your work will continue delivering value long after the contract concludes

This is far more than another contract assignment.

It's an opportunity to create a data platform that becomes the foundation for smarter decisions, stronger performance, and future growth.

• Hybrid role - 3x2
• Sunny Bay location
• Immediate Strategic Impact

This is not a role for someone who just builds pipelines and walks away.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who thrives on turning complex data into real-world impact - someone who can move seamlessly from architecture to insight, from engineering to influence. The focus here is simple: getting the right fit - someone who can partner with people, not just systems.

You’ll take ownership of a growing data environment - designing, building, and continuously improving a modern data platform that enables smarter, faster, and more confident decision-making across the business.

This is a role where your work will be seen, used, and valued at senior levels.

• Designing and building scalable data pipelines and platforms
• Bringing together multiple data sources into a single source of truth
• Turning data into clear insights and recommendations for leadership
• Applying analytics and predictive modelling to guide future decisions
• Creating visualisations and reporting that non-technical stakeholders actually understand
• Embedding data governance, security, and privacy best practices (including Zero Trust principles)
• Working cross-functionally to understand needs and deliver meaningful outcomes
• Driving continuous improvement across tools, processes, and data capability

• Strong connection between data and strategy
• High level of stakeholder engagement and influence
• Opportunity to shape a fit-for-purpose, future-ready data platform
• Real ownership - not just execution

• Proven experience across data engineering, analysis, and visualisation
• Strong understanding of data architecture and pipeline design (ETL/ELT)
• Ability to translate data into commercial or operational insight
• Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders
• High attention to detail with a strong sense of business impact
• A collaborative mindset - someone who builds relationships, not silos
• Knowledge of data security, governance, and privacy frameworks
• Exposure to modern data platforms (ideally Microsoft ecosystem)

• Curious, analytical, and forward-thinking
• Commercially aware - understands why data matters, not just how
• Comfortable operating across technical and non-technical spaces
• Someone who can challenge, influence, and add value
• A team player who lifts others while delivering outcomes

• Work that directly influences strategic direction
• A business that values data-driven thinking
• A role where your contribution is visible and meaningful
• Flexibility and autonomy in how you operate

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than just a technical role - someone who wants to shape outcomes through data.

This is an opportunity to build something meaningful - helping to create a data environment that drives smarter decisions and real competitive advantage.
