This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a year's experience or a strong placement background in data, analytics, or systems — someone who wants to develop their technical and commercial skills in a supportive, hands‑on environment.

The Role

You’ll join the central IT & Finance function, working directly with senior leaders to improve how data is visualised and used across the group. You’ll get to design and build dashboards in Power BI, work with SQL data sources, and support ERP systems — all while gaining experience across multiple industries (construction, manufacturing, renewables, property).

What You’ll Be Doing

• Create and maintain Power BI dashboards and Excel reports.
• Pull and interpret data from SQL databases and internal systems.
• Support and troubleshoot day‑to‑day reporting issues.
• Work closely with managers and directors to provide clear, accurate insights.
• Suggest ways to improve data quality and streamline reporting processes.

About You

• Some hands‑on experience with Power BI (university projects, internships, or first role).
• Confident with Excel and comfortable working with data.
• Curiosity to learn SQL and explore how systems connect and share data.
• Strong communication skills – able to explain data clearly to non‑technical users.
• Positive, proactive, and eager to grow your career in business intelligence.
• Degree or HLA in IT, Business Analytics, Computer Science, or related field.

Why Apply

• Salary: £28,000-£32,000 + bonus.
• Work directly with senior leadership and learn from experienced mentors.
• Real responsibility and exposure from day one.
• Long‑term progression – previous postholder joined as a graduate and advanced internally.
• Onsite in Magherafelt, with occasional visits to other local sites.

If you've got a foundation in Power BI and a hunger to keep learning – this role will give you the perfect platform to develop into a well‑rounded Business Intelligence professional.
