Are you a Data Engineer with a desire to deliver data using cutting edge technology?

You’ll provide solutions for data challenges that support the electrification of the economy and drive to Net Zero. Be part of a growing community of data professionals across the business with a wide variety of challenges to solve, including opportunities to learn, teach skills, and foster development. This is a hybrid role; the ideal candidate would be happy to visit one of our offices at least once weekly, though remote working is possible.

You’ll join the Data Production Team in National Grid’s Asset Operations business, supporting engineers, operational teams, planners, performance, and regulatory teams by ensuring they have up-to-date, accessible, and easy-to-understand data to answer their questions. We support building Business Intelligence (BI) KPIs, reports, and data science models that underpin the delivery of National Grid’s BIG work.

As an inquisitive and curious Data Engineer, you’ll support the delivery of National Grid Electricity Transmission’s award-winning data strategy. Using a Data Fabric (Promethium), you’ll build data products that provide a real-time view of our asset and work data domains. You will understand what information is required, build efficient and maintainable data solutions to deliver that information, and introduce complexity only when necessary. You should be committed to continuous self-improvement and support colleagues in developing their data skills.

What are the requirements?

• Must be a fluent SQL developer.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and management skills – able to understand customer requirements and expectations.
• Ideally experienced with a similar stack to:
• CI/CD (preferably using dataops.live/gitlab, but skills are transferable)
• Data engineering using DBT, Python, and SQL
• Git for version control

Pay and Benefits

• Starting salary £46,415 to £58,760 per annum + Benefits package + Training and Development.
• 26 days leave plus 8 statutory days.
• Option to buy additional or sell holiday days.
• Generous contributory pension scheme — we will double-match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%, totaling 18%.
• Financial support for professional memberships, course fees, books, exams, and study leave relevant to your role.
• Access to benefits such as share incentive plans, salary sacrifice schemes for cars and technology, employee assistance programs, and matched charity giving.
• Family care benefits, including a backup care service (six paid days annually, with options to purchase more).
• Access to health, fitness, and wellbeing apps.
