Data Engineer
£60,000 - £70,000 + Benefits
Fully Remote (UK)
12-Month Fixed Term Contract
About the Role
We're looking for a Data Engineer to join a collaborative and highly regarded data team delivering business-critical data solutions across a complex enterprise environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, building data pipelines, and working across the full data lifecycle. You'll join a well-established team with strong engineering standards, modern cloud technologies, and the chance to work on a varied mix of project work, platform enhancements, and operational support.
Unlike many contract or fixed-term opportunities, you'll be given the time and support to learn the environment, understand the existing framework, and gradually take ownership of increasingly complex work.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Data Engineer, you'll be involved in a broad range of activities, including:
- Designing, developing and maintaining data pipelines
- Building and enhancing ETL/ELT processes
- Working with data stored in cloud-based data lakes
- Supporting and optimising existing data platforms
- Troubleshooting data quality and calculation issues
- Data modelling and warehouse development
- Contributing to peer reviews and engineering best practices
- Supporting project delivery across multiple business areas
- Investigating and resolving technical tickets and production issues
- Working closely with Data Engineers, Operations teams and stakeholders across the business

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a genuine end-to-end engineering role where no two days are likely to be the same.

Essential
- Strong SQL development skills

- Can work independently whilst remaining a strong team player
