• Support the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) built on Azure SQL Server, including:
• Transformations using stored procedures, views, and DBT.
• Clear separation of bronze, silver, and gold layers aligned to a medallion architecture.
• Collaborate with BI and Analytics teams to ensure Gold layer data models appropriately support:
• Executive dashboards and operational reporting

This is a really interesting role in a thriving business.

KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIANCE

• Strong experience as a Senior Data Engineer in enterprise data environments.
• Strategic thinker with experience supporting the delivery of a strategy.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills at all levels of an organisation.
• Hands‑on expertise with Microsoft Azure data platforms, including:
