The position is part of Mace’s growing digital centre of excellence team, which enables and enhances project delivery through the development of digital tools, processes and reports that support data‑driven decision making.
As part of your role, you will interface with the Mace project team and occasionally stakeholders from other organisations, and you will be part of the digital centre of excellence community, sharing knowledge and experience with other BI and data professionals.

You will be expected to work with Microsoft’s ‘low‑code’ Power Platform suite, principally with Power BI, as well as SharePoint, Teams and the M365 Office suite. There is an opportunity to grow your role into other Power Platform applications such as Power Apps, Power Automate and Fabric should you choose to.
Any knowledge or experience of supporting BI and data analytics software and languages such as Python, JSON, R, JavaScript, SQL, etc. would be a benefit but is not a requirement.

* Develop digital tools, processes and outputs, including interactive Power BI reports, that support the wider project team and enable better delivery of projects for our clients.
* Adhere to a structured development lifecycle that includes requirements definition, design, development and testing, user acceptance testing, deployment, handover and post‑implementation support.

* Understanding of effective visual layering, selecting the right visuals for the type of information displayed.
