• Connect automation workflows to SQL Server, relational databases, and other enterprise systems
• Troubleshoot data connectivity, authentication, gateway, and integration issues
• Document solution architecture, business rules, dependencies, error handling, and ongoing maintenance requirements
• Coordinate testing and deployment, communicate project progress, and provide training and knowledge transfer to internal teams

Required Qualifications

• Professional experience delivering business process automation solutions with Microsoft Power Platform
• Strong hands-on Power Automate development experience, including cloud flows, approvals, notifications, and error handling
• Practical experience with Power Apps, Power BI, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft 365
• Experience integrating workflows with SQL Server, relational databases, or other business applications
• Ability to gather requirements directly from stakeholders and translate business needs into technical solutions
• Experience taking solutions from initial analysis through development, testing, deployment, and documentation
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a short-term project environment
• Availability to work Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time throughout the engagement

Preferred Qualifications

• Microsoft Power Platform certifications
• Experience with Microsoft Dataverse, Power Query M, advanced DAX, and the On-premises Data Gateway
• Familiarity with Power Automate Desktop and robotic process automation
• Experience managing Power Platform environments, solutions, connection references, and environment variables
• Experience delivering automation in enterprise Microsoft 365 environments

Why Consider This Opportunity

• Deliver practical solutions that improve business efficiency and reduce manual effort

• Apply a broad range of Microsoft automation, application development, and data integration skills
• Complete tangible project deliverables and transfer your solutions to an internal team
