Data & Insights Engineer | Power BI | SQL | Data Engineering
Halesowen / Remote
Permanent
Are you a Data or BI Engineer who wants to do more than simply build dashboards?
We're recruiting for a Data & Insights Engineer to join a growing Data & Analytics function, combining hands-on Power BI development with data engineering, modelling and transformation.
You'll work across the data lifecycle, from shaping and engineering the underlying datasets through to creating reporting and insights used by teams across Operations, Finance, HR and the wider organisation.
It's a particularly strong opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of BI and wants greater exposure to modern data engineering and cloud data platforms.
What you'll be working on
- Designing and developing Power BI dashboards, reports and semantic models
- Building and optimising DAX calculations and data models
- Developing data pipelines using SQL and modern data platforms
- Transforming and modelling data for scalable reporting
- Improving data quality, consistency and governance
- Integrating data from multiple systems and sources
- Working directly with stakeholders to turn complex requirements into useful insights
- Helping shape reporting, data architecture and governance as the function continues to mature
What we're looking for
You'll ideally bring strong experience across:
Power BI | SQL / SQL Server | DAX | Data Modelling | Data Transformation | Data Engineering / BI Engineering
You'll need to be comfortable working across both the engineering and reporting layers rather than specialising exclusively in one.
Experience with any of the following would be particularly valuable:
Microsoft Fabric | Snowflake | Databricks | ETL | APIs | Python | Data Governance
Why consider it?
This is a chance to join a growing data function that's investing in its technology and moving towards a more modern data environment.
Rather than inheriting a narrow reporting position, you'll have the opportunity to work across BI, engineering, architecture and data quality, while helping shape how data is used across a large, complex organisation.
The work also has a genuine purpose – the insights and systems you build ultimately support better decision-making across services for children, young people and adults throughout the UK.
Interested?
Apply directly or drop me a message for a confidential conversation about the role and the wider data transformation.
