Lead Data Engineer

I\’m partnering with a fast-growing, highly respected analytics and consultancy organisation working at the forefront of the energy, chemicals and low-carbon sectors to hire a Lead Snowflake Data Engineer . Backed by major investors and trusted by global clients, it\’s a great time to be joining their team (fully remote – MUST be UK based).

You\’ll deliver scalable cloud-native pipelines on Snowflake , help unify data across multiple acquired businesses, and develop machine learning solutions that drive real commercial insight. Working closely with senior stakeholders , you\’ll turn complex requirements into robust technical solutions and set standards for data quality and governance.

You\’ll ideally have most of the following:

You\’ll be joining at a pivotal time, with the chance to build a modern data function from the ground up and make a visible, long-term impact on the business. The role offers significant technical autonomy , real influence at senior stakeholder level, and the opportunity to work on meaningful problems connected to the global energy transition.

In return they offer a very competitive salary and strong benefits package , flexible remote working across the UK with occasional travel , and clear long-term progression path into senior data leadership.
