About The Role
We are seeking a talented Data Engineer to join the Synergy Shared Services Hub within DWP Digital. In this role, you will be instrumental in delivering one of the most significant transformations to Civil Service shared services in recent history. Your primary responsibility will be to develop and support advanced reporting and analytics solutions that provide trusted insights to nearly a quarter of a million users across multiple government departments. You will work with modern cloud technologies, including Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence (FDI/AIDP), Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI), and Power BI, to design, build, and maintain data pipelines, datasets, and integrations. Collaborating closely with stakeholders, you will translate business requirements into scalable, reusable reporting products that support decision-making and operational efficiency.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience in data engineering, with a strong understanding of data modelling principles and industry best practices. You should possess experience testing and validating data pipelines to ensure accuracy and reliability, along with developing Business Intelligence (BI) and Management Information (MI) solutions, including dashboards and self-service analytics using tools like Power BI or similar platforms. Knowledge of Oracle Fusion reporting tools, such as FDI/AIDP and OTBI, or equivalent enterprise reporting platforms, is essential. Additionally, you should be skilled in data mining and code analysis techniques to resolve data quality issues. Strong communication skills are vital to interpret and convey business requirements effectively to a diverse range of stakeholders. A background in cloud technologies and experience working within a government or large enterprise environment will be advantageous.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
