Microsoft Fabric BI Developer – Contract
Guildford, Surrey. Full-time, inside IR35.
Standard 8 is working with a regulated, engineering-led business looking for someone to take full ownership of its data platform and reporting. This is a genuinely hands-on role, sitting across engineering, modelling and reporting, focused on building something robust rather than just surface-level dashboards.
You’ll own Microsoft Fabric end-to-end across Warehouse and Lakehouse, build and manage pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Fabric, and ensure clean, reliable data flows from core systems including SAP. Alongside this, you’ll set standards around storage, performance and governance, while running the reporting environment properly across workspaces, deployments and capacity.
On the reporting side, you’ll design strong Power BI semantic models, deliver dashboards and reports people actually use, and create structured “golden datasets” to support self-service without chaos. You’ll also handle security properly, including RLS and OLS, ensuring everything meets regulatory standards such as GDPR, PCI and ITAR.
They’re looking for someone with solid hands-on experience in Microsoft Fabric, strong data pipeline delivery, and deep Power BI knowledge across modelling, DAX and performance. Experience working with ERP or financial data is important, given the complexity and scrutiny involved.
This suits a proper data engineer who understands reporting, comfortable owning a platform and pushing back when needed, bringing structure and standards into an environment that needs it.
SAP Datasphere, PowerShell or R experience would be useful but not essential. Degree is optional, Power BI certification a bonus, and SC clearance eligibility is required
