Principal Data Engineering Consultant
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a boutique consultancy's Data & Insights practice and play a lead role on a broad range of challenging client engagements.
As the Principal Data Engineering Consultant, you will play a hands-on role, leading projects whilst also rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in on a technical level. Working with clients in a diverse range of industries, this is a role where you will get to utilise your blend of functional and technical skills day-to-day.
If you are still happy to get hands-on with building solutions using technologies such as Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, SQL, and pride yourself on delivering high quality/high impact solutions then this role is for you.
Responsibilities
You will design, build and implement end-to-end data, reporting and analytics solutions for a variety of customers, from large enterprises to small start-ups.
You will lead complex projects that vary in size and complexity, and you will take ownership of deliveries, gathering requirements, understanding business problems, designing and building solutions, reporting and analysis through to go-live and even user training.
This role will provide you with plenty of opportunities to flex your hands-on data engineering skills to solve real problems, and you will get to witness the impact deliveries have on the end client.
Day-to-day you will be:
* Building strong relationships with customers, capturing requirements, and leading them through the delivery
* Designing and building data solutions using a variety of different tools and platforms
* Consulting with clients on the best approach and most suitable data technologies
* Leading and managing projects, delivery, and documentation
* Using hands-on data engineering skills to code, architect, build and deploy solutions
* Managing and mentoring junior consultants
Required Skills and Experience:
You will be an experienced data professional who has strong hands-on technical skills in the design, build and deployment of solutions.
You will bring a track record of leading projects and driving them across all aspects of the lifecycle - not just working as part of a big team writing code.
You will possess a strong blend of technical and functional experience and will have ideally operated within a client-facing/consultancy environment, with a track record of delivering end-to-end projects successfully.
Your hands-on technical skillset will need to be strong, and you must have experience of data engineering, data modelling, dimensional modelling and designing BI solutions.
You will be adaptable and able to work with different tools and technologies, depending on the client and project needs but will ideally possess strength in some or all of the following:
* MS Fabric stack
* Databricks
* Snowflake
* Azure / AWS
* SQL (advanced)
* Power BI
* Tableau
* Data Modelling including star schema
A general knowledge of IT architecture and systems integration is also required, and you should possess excellent client-facing communication skills.
