Job description

APR Supply Co. is a century-strong leader in the HVAC and Plumbing distribution industry with 44 locations within PA, NJ, DE, MD and WV — and we’re redefining how data powers our business.

As part of our digital transformation, we are implementing Microsoft Fabric as our enterprise data and analytics platform, with a strong focus on data governance, security, and AI enablement. Our goal is to create a trusted, governed, and AI-ready data foundation that supports enterprise analytics, automation, and Copilot-style experiences across the organization.

We are seeking a hands-on Microsoft Fabric expert to lead this effort. This is a new, high-impact role with executive sponsorship and the authority to define how data is architected, governed, and consumed across APR.

If you’ve implemented Fabric in the real world—and understand that governance is not optional—this role was built for you.

As APR’s Principal Microsoft Fabric Data Architect, you will own the design, implementation, and governance of our Fabric platform end to end.

This role goes far beyond dashboards.

What you'll do:

• Design and implement a production-grade Microsoft Fabric architecture, including OneLake, Lakehouses, Warehouses, Dataflows Gen2, Spark Notebooks, and Pipelines
• Implement and manage Medallion architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold) with performance, reliability, and scalability in mind
• Lead ingestion from enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS, eCommerce, vendor feeds, files, APIs)
• Design and enforce enterprise data governance policies within Fabric
• Implement Microsoft Purview for:
  • Data lineage and impact analysis
  • Sensitivity labels and classification
  • Data discovery and cataloging

Define and manage security models, including OneLake permissions, workspace design, and Power BI semantic model security

Partner with IT, Security, and Compliance to ensure data is trusted, auditable, and policy-aligned

• Design Power BI semantic models aligned to governed Gold-layer data
• Build and review high-performance datasets, DAX measures, and reporting patterns
• Enable secure self-service analytics without sacrificing governance
• Enable Fabric data for AI and Copilot-style use cases, including RAG-based patterns
• Integrate structured and unstructured data (documents, text, images, video) into the governed Fabric ecosystem
• Collaborate on AI-driven enrichment and search scenarios
• Act as the Fabric authority across the organization
• Establish standards, patterns, and best practices
• Mentor analysts and engineers working within Fabric
• Communicate clearly with both executives and technical teams

Required for Success:

Required

• Microsoft Fabric DP-600 (Fabric Analytics Engineer) certification
• Microsoft Fabric DP-700 (Fabric Data Engineer) certification
• 5+ years designing and supporting enterprise data platforms (experience does not need to be Fabric alone)
• Direct, hands‑on production experience with Microsoft Fabric (not just training or POCs)
• Strong hands‑on experience with Microsoft Purview
• Deep understanding of Lakehouse and Medallion architecture
• Strong Power BI, SQL, and Python skills

Strongly Preferred

• Experience governing data in enterprise-scale environments
• Experience integrating Fabric with Microsoft 365 security and identity models
• Prior ownership of platform standards, not just development tasks

Why Join APR Supply Co.?

• Own the Platform: Be the architect of APR’s enterprise data foundation
• Governance Done Right: Build trusted data, not data chaos
• Executive Visibility: Work directly with senior leadership
• Modern Stack: Microsoft Fabric, Purview, Power BI, AI
• Real Impact: What you design will be used across the company

Join us in shaping the governed, AI-ready data future of a 100+ year-old company transforming through innovation.
