Contract Data Engineer - Snowflake to Fabric Migration - Outside IR35 Not another "maintain what's there" contract.

Exact contract duration tbc, but expected to be between 6-9 months (you'll know for sure after the initial scoping phase).
This is a hybrid position, once a week in Manchester What you'll be doing Starting with a proper scoping phase - the first month is about uncovering the real shape of the work, and contract length will follow from what you find Owning the migration approach - schema mapping, reconciliation, cutover planning Working with Fabric's Lakehouse/One Lake setup, not just theorising about it Handling API-based ingestion where native connectors don't cut it Making real architecture calls, largely unsupervised Working alongside two junior engineers - some mentoring as you go, and a pair of extra hands for the time-consuming-but-doable work that shouldn't eat your time What matters
