Job description
This is a proper modelling role - not just building reports. You will take ownership of an existing Power BI estate, optimise performance, and lead a full modernisation programme while supporting BAU.
You will review the semantic model end-to-end (DAX, performance, storage, security), improve scalability, and drive key upgrades across tooling, governance, and data sources (including Snowflake migration).
Requirements
- Deep Power BI semantic modelling expertise (not just reporting)
- Strong DAX, VertiPaq optimisation, and performance tuning
- Experience with Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, SSMS (XMLA)
- Power BI Enterprise Gateway setup and management
- Git / CI/CD in Power BI or Fabric environments
- Experience modernising / migrating existing BI estates
- Strong understanding of dimensional modelling (Kimball)
Bonus Points
- .pbip + Git-based workflows
- RLS / OLS design
- Snowflake integration
- Microsoft Fabric
- Composite models / aggregations
This is a solid contract opportunity for an Edinburgh based product company. You will be outside IR35 and working with a highly skilled and driven team.
