Essential Skills & Experience Strong commercial experience with SQL Server and advanced SQL development. Proven experience developing and maintaining Power BI solutions.

Ability to work effectively within a collaborative Data Engineering team. Experience supporting large-scale data migration or data transformation projects. Desirable Skills & Experience Exposure to Microsoft Fabric. Experience with Lakehouse architectures. Exposure to PySpark Notebooks. Experience migrating data solutions from SQL Server to cloud-based platforms. This role would suit a Data Engineer who enjoys operating at the intersection of Data Engineering, Power BI, and Data Modelling.
