Job description

One of my long-term clients in Dublin are currently expanding their BI team and looking for a hands on technical lead. This will be someone to own the backbone of their data platform — pipelines, semantic models, and Power BI reporting — while mentoring the team around them.

The technical hands-on element is most crucial. Mentoring and leadership is important, but the priority is finding someone who can step in as a senior technical leader for the team.

What you'll do:

• Keep data pipelines, semantic models, and Power BI assets running at full integrity
• Drive strategic optimizations (Direct Lake, incremental refresh) for a lean, scalable ETL
• Bridge business needs and technical execution — translating logic into clear requirements
• Review team output, mentor on SQL/PySpark/Fabric, and champion simple over over-engineered
• Own cost and automation strategy across the Lakehouse

What you bring:

• Microsoft Fabric experience is essential.
• DP-700 certification required (DP-600/PL-300 a plus)

Whilst hiring in Ireland is the priority, the role can potentially be hired in Spain, Italy or Poland as well.
