Job description

Nigel Wright is delighted to be supporting a growing data and analytics consultancy in the appointment of an Analytics Engineer. This is an exciting opportunity to join a specialist business at a key stage of its growth journey, helping to deliver modern data and analytics solutions that enable organisations to make better, faster decisions through trusted insight.

The business has established a strong reputation for delivering data, analytics and reporting solutions to public sector clients and has recently evolved its service offering towards a fully managed subscription model. As a result, it is investing heavily in its Analytics Practice and seeking an individual who is passionate about data modelling, Power BI development and creating best-in-class analytics solutions for end users. This is a hybrid opportunity based in Staffordshire, offering a blend of client-focused delivery work and collaboration with an experienced data team.

The Role

This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the delivery of analytics solutions that directly support customers in unlocking the value of their data. Working closely with both Analytics and Data Engineering teams, you will take ownership of building robust semantic models, developing engaging Power BI reports and dashboards, and ensuring solutions are scalable, performant and governed to a high standard.

The successful candidate will be involved throughout the full analytics lifecycle, from translating business requirements into meaningful reporting solutions through to testing, deployment, support and ongoing optimisation. This role would suit someone who takes pride in clean data models, enjoys solving business problems through analytics and thrives within a collaborative consulting environment.

• Developing and maintaining enterprise-grade semantic models using Power BI and Microsoft Fabric.
• Building high-quality dashboards and reports, including the development of complex DAX calculations.
• Managing the end-to-end Power BI lifecycle, including data modelling, report development, deployment and security management.
• Applying best practices around performance optimisation, governance and data modelling standards.
• Producing clear and comprehensive technical documentation.
• Supporting testing, QA and UAT activities to ensure reliable and accurate solutions.
• Working closely with Data Engineers to align source data structures with reporting requirements.
• Engaging with stakeholders to understand analytical requirements and support data-driven decision making.
• Providing ongoing support and enhancement of existing Power BI solutions.

What We're Looking For

We are interested in speaking with candidates who bring:

• At least three years' experience delivering end-to-end Power BI solutions in a commercial environment.
• Strong expertise across Power BI, DAX, Power Query and semantic data modelling.
• A strong appreciation for analytics best practice, governance and quality assurance.
• The ability to work independently whilst managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• A methodical, detail-oriented approach with a genuine passion for delivering high-quality analytics solutions.
• Microsoft Fabric.
• Git or DevOps practices.
• Experience working across development, test and production environments.
• Exposure to public sector or local government data environments.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a highly regarded data and analytics consultancy with an ambitious growth strategy.
• Work on cutting-edge Microsoft technologies including Power BI and Microsoft Fabric.
• Gain exposure to a wide variety of analytics projects and stakeholder groups.
• Be part of a collaborative and technically strong Analytics Practice.
• Opportunity to influence the development of scalable analytics solutions that deliver measurable value to customers.
• A role offering a mix of technical depth, client engagement and long-term career development.
