Job Description
Microsoft Fabric BI Developer
Data Platform & Reporting Manager
Standard 8 is partnering with a heavily regulated, engineering-led business looking for someone to take full ownership of its data platform and reporting estate.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll sit across engineering, modelling and reporting — building a platform that actually works, not just looks good in a demo.
What you’ll be doing
* Own Microsoft Fabric end-to-end (Warehouse + Lakehouse)
* Build and manage data pipelines via Azure Data Factory / Fabric
* Keep data flowing cleanly from source systems (including SAP environments)
* Set standards for storage, performance and platform reliability
* Run the reporting environment properly — workspaces, deployments, capacity
* Design robust Power BI semantic models (clean logic, reusable, fast)
* Deliver dashboards, paginated reports and apps people rely on
* Make reporting usable on mobile for operational teams
* Create “golden datasets” to enable proper self-service (without chaos)
* Lock down data properly — RLS, OLS, roles and access control
* Ensure everything meets strict regulatory standards (GDPR, PCI, ITAR)
* Act as the go-to person for the reporting platform
* Train users and push adoption across the business
* Move teams away from spreadsheets and into governed reporting
What you need
* Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric (Warehouse + Lakehouse)
* Proven track record building data pipelines (ADF / Fabric)
* Deep Power BI experience (modelling, DAX, admin, performance)
* Solid grasp of data modelling and transformation (Power Query, Python)
* Experience working with ERP/MRP data (messy, high-volume, real-world)
* Confidence handling financial data where accuracy matters
Nice to have:
* SAP Datasphere exposure
* PowerShell / R for automation or analysis
The profile
* Proper data engineer who understands reporting — not one or the other
* Comfortable owning a platform, not just contributing to one
* Able to challenge stakeholders and cut through bad requirements
* Brings structure, standards and a bit of backbone
Other
* Degree helpful, not essential
* Power BI certification a bonus
* Must be eligible for UK SC Clearance
