Data & Infrastructure Consultant (Digital Advisory)

Join our growing Digital team and help shape modern, data-driven platforms across the built environment. As a Senior Data & Digital Platform Engineer, you'll blend hands-on data engineering with platform-level thinking, from architecture and governance to high-level design and cross-programme alignment.

You'll work closely with our Lead Data Architect to design and deliver secure, scalable Azure data platforms. One day you may turn an outline architecture into a practical implementation plan; the next you'll be building ingestion and modelling layers, defining data standards, or helping multiple programmes align to a shared blueprint.

If you enjoy translating strong architecture into reliable, production-ready solutions and you're motivated by shaping how data is designed, governed and used across sectors this role is for you.

You'll work on impactful projects in transport, energy, water, local government, healthcare and more, with the development opportunities, support and professional growth you'd expect from a collaborative and inclusive WSP team.

Platform Architecture & High Level Design

• Contribute to platform and data architecture -covering system context, integration patterns, data domain modelling, security, and operational non functionals.
• Produce high level designs (HLDs) and option assessments that balance cost, capability, time to value and risk.
• Translate HLDs into implementable designs and lead technical decision making through delivery.

Governance & Data Strategy

• Define and enforce data standards, metadata, lineage and quality controls that scale across programmes.
• Establish governance processes (design reviews, approvals, change control) and embed them with delivery teams.
• Partner with product/PMO to align data strategy with business outcomes (analytics, regulatory, and operational needs).

Cross Programme Alignment

• Identify re usable patterns and drive consistency across parallel projects.
• Facilitate architecture forums, write playbooks/patterns, and coach teams so that architecture intent survives delivery.
• Influence roadmaps-highlighting dependencies, risks and opportunities across the portfolio.

Data Engineering Delivery

• Build and maintain robust ETL/ELT on Azure (e.g., ADF, Databricks/PySpark or equivalent), applying CI/CD and IaC principles.
• Model data for analytics (star schemas/Dimensional modelling) and operational data stores; optimise Azure SQL/Synapse performance.
• Enable and govern Power BI models and paginated reporting: semantic models, DAX optimisation, refresh and workspace governance., We are committed to supporting our people, giving you the tools to make improvements to your health and wellbeing through our Thrive programme.
