Senior Analytics Engineer

The Vacancy

As part of our continued growth, RSK Group are seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our expanding Data & Analytics team.

This is a full time, hybrid role (minimum 3 days per week in the office) based at our office in London - Chancery Exchange.

You'll play a key role in shaping our data strategy, driving best practice and enabling data-driven decision-making at every level of the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take technical ownership of the DBT transformation layer on our Snowflake warehouse - its architecture, standards, modularity, testing and documentation.
• Own the certified metrics layer: one agreed definition per group metric, drillable by business and division, documented and version-controlled.
• Broker metric definitions with the business - getting autonomous operating companies to a single, defensible way of counting, and holding the line once it is agreed.
• Lead the design of Power BI semantic models and datasets so that reporting is fast, reliable and genuinely self-serve.
• Extend certified coverage as new businesses are connected, so that group numbers describe more of the group rather than a subset of it.
• Rationalise the reporting estate - consolidate and retire low-value assets, and make the ongoing maintenance cost of a new asset explicit before it is built.
• Make data quality visible: quality and coverage indicators on the reporting itself, and a route for recurring issues to move from flagged to automatically resolved.

Person Specification:

• A relevant degree (e.g. computer science, engineering, mathematics) or equivalent practical experience.
• Substantial analytics engineering or BI development experience, including time in a senior or lead role owning a transformation and metrics layer.
• Expert SQL, including performant queries and the design of well-structured, maintainable data models.
• Expert DBT - macros, packages, testing, documentation and CI - with a track record of keeping a large model estate clean.
• Deep Power BI experience: semantic/data modelling, DAX, performance tuning, and building reports people actually trust.
• Experience with cloud data warehouses; exposure to Snowflake is highly desirable.
• Strong grasp of dimensional modelling (star schema), metric layer design and ELT best practice.
• Demonstrable experience defining and governing business metrics across multiple business units, including navigating disagreement about definitions.

Salary and Benefits:

• £50,000 - £80,000 depending on experience
• Contributory pension scheme
• Life assurance
• Flexible benefits programme
