Offer description

I'm partnering with a fast-growing, highly respected analytics and consultancy organisation working at the forefront of the energy, chemicals and low-carbon sectors to hire a Lead Snowflake Data Engineer. Backed by major investors and trusted by global clients, it's a great time to be joining their team (fully remote - MUST be UK based). This is a rare greenfield leadership opportunity where you'll define the data strategy, architecture and tooling from day one, while building and mentoring a high-performing data engineering team. You'll deliver scalable cloud-native pipelines on Snowflake, help unify data across multiple acquired businesses, and develop machine learning solutions that drive real commercial insight. Working closely with senior stakeholders, you'll turn complex requirements into robust technical solutions and set standards for data quality and governance. With a modern Python-first stack, no legacy constraints and strong business backing, the role offers genuine technical ownership and strategic impact in a fully remote position. You'll ideally have most of the following: Hands-on experience with Snowflake (essential) Proven experience leading data engineering projects end-to-end Strong Python background and modern data engineering practices Deep understanding of ETL / ELT, data modelling and transformations Practical machine learning experience (desirable) Strong communication with technical and non-technical teams You'll be joining at a pivotal time, with the chance to build a modern data function from the ground up and make a visible, long-term impact on the business. The role offers significant technical autonomy, real influence at senior stakeholder level, and the opportunity to work on meaningful problems connected to the global energy transition. In return they offer a very competitive salary and strong benefits package, flexible remote working across the UK with occasional travel, and clear long-term progression path into senior data leadership. It's genuinely a really exciting opportunity to combine hands-on engineering, strategic thinking and team leadership in an environment that actively supports innovation, learning and ambitious technical ownership. If you're keen to learn more, please apply or drop Matthew MacAlpine at Cathcart Technology a message. Cathcart Technology is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
