Job description

Role Overview

This position will be responsible for building and supporting the Microsoft Power Platform solutions that power Nano Fibre UK’s fibre-to-the-home rollout. We engineer and extend Power Apps, Dataverse schemas, Power Automate flows, Power Pages portals, Power BI dataflows—and integrate with SQL Server, Azure services and custom C# components—to equip our installation engineers, finance, H&S, fleet and storeroom teams, and customer service staff with the tools they need every day. As we mature our platform, you’ll help formalize our governance, CI/CD pipelines and API-driven integrations (including webhooks, custom connectors and RESTful services).

As a Power Platform Engineer, you’ll design, implement and support:

• Power Apps (canvas & model‑driven) for field data capture, inventory management and service requests
• Dataverse tables, relationships, business rules and plugin logic (C#) to model installation, finance and compliance data
• Power Automate flows (scheduled, instant and event‑driven) with HTTP/Webhook triggers, custom connectors and API consumption
• Power Pages portals and SharePoint Online integrations for internal dashboards and external service portals
• Power BI reports, dataflows, DAX models and direct SQL Server/Azure Synapse queries for real‑time operational analytics

Your work will ensure reliable data ingestion (via Power Query dataflows, Azure Data Factory or SSIS), robust automation between systems, and high-quality reporting—all while we establish best practices around environments, solution ALM (Azure DevOps/Git), security roles, and scalable solution patterns.

Key Responsibilities

• Solution Development & Integration
  • Architect, develop and deploy Power Apps solutions; extend with C# plugins and PCF controls.
  • Build Power Automate flows with HTTP/Webhook actions, custom connectors and Azure Functions.
  • Integrate Dataverse with SQL Server, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB or other third‑party APIs.
• Reporting & Analytics
  • Develop Power BI dashboards and paginated reports; author dataflows with Power Query and T‑SQL.
  • Optimize DAX measures and DirectQuery models against SQL Server/Azure Synapse for performance.
• Data Management & Quality
  • Design and govern Dataverse tables; enforce validation rules, business logic and data‑quality alerts.
  • Implement ETL/ELT pipelines (Azure Data Factory, SSIS or Power Query) for installation, finance and fleet datasets.
• Governance & DevOps
  • Define environment strategy, ALM/CI‑CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
  • Establish naming conventions, solution segmentation and version control best practices.
• Support & Continuous Improvement
  • Provide L2/L3 support for production applications, reports and automations; troubleshoot C# plugins or API errors.
  • Rapidly prototype POCs—e.g., custom Azure Function integrations or React‑based web components—and iterate based on feedback.
• Collaboration & Enablement
  • Partner with operations teams to gather requirements and align on release cadences.
  • Conduct training sessions and demos; produce documentation, runbooks and code samples.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Hands‑on expertise with Microsoft Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Power BI and Power Query.
• Strong SQL Server (T‑SQL) skills and familiarity with NoSQL/Dataverse concepts.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language: C#, JavaScript/TypeScript or Python.
• Experience building custom connectors, Azure Functions, webhooks and REST API integrations.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to thrive in a growing, fast‑paced environment.

Preferred Skills & Certifications

• Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate or Solution Architect Expert.
• Experience with Azure services: Functions, Logic Apps, Data Factory, App Service.
• Familiarity with DevOps infrastructure as code (ARM/Bicep templates) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Prior work in utilities, field‑service or remote‑operations settings.

What We Offer

• 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Remote‑first culture with flexible hours aligned to UK working times.
• Professional development budget for certifications, training and conferences.
• Hands‑on impact: your solutions will directly enable our field teams and back‑office staff.
