Job description

Company Overview

Nano IS Western Cape (Pty) Ltd builds and supports 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).

Role Overview

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

1. 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 UK‑based 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.
