# Data Engineer

- **Company:** Kohera
- **Location:** Kontich, Belgium
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Microsoft Azure, Extract Transform Load (ETL), Data Transformation, Data Warehousing, Python (Programming Language), Power BI, SQL Server Integration Services, Transact-SQL, Azure Data Factory, Data Lakes, Azure Synapse Analytics, Databricks
- **Published:** May 16, 2026
- **Apply:** https://be.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=90eb3e7f2f35e055

## About the Role

Managing and customising the ETL or ELT process (Extract, transform, load)
Setting up and customising data integrations and data modelling (SSIS , SSAS, SSRS)
You will be using Microsoft data services on-premise or in Azure, or a combination of both. Understanding the front end of BI is important. So, in due course, you will also get experience in reporting and visualising in Power BI.

Project-based or long-term assignments, all options are on the table. Depending on the assignment, you may be working on your own or in a team, taking care of the project management yourself or not. Participating in pre-sales is also a possibility. The trump cards of this job are variety and continuous learning through experience.

But don't worry.

The roles within assignments and their complexity will be tailored to you: sufficiently challenging for learning and not over your head. If you demonstrate a keenness to learn, independence and initiative, you will be absolutely fine. Don't forget that you have a team of helpful Koherians standing behind you who will be happy to help you and facilitate your development.
