Ideally, you'll have:
- Strong commercial experience as a Data Engineer
- Excellent SQL skills – this is essential
- Experience building and supporting ETL/ELT pipelines
- Strong understanding of relational databases and data modelling
- Experience working with high-volume or complex datasets
- Ability to troubleshoot and optimise database/data performance
- Experience working within a modern data engineering environment
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience across technologies such as Azure, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks, Python or modern data warehousing platforms would be useful, but the core requirement is strong hands-on SQL/data engineering capability.
The Contract
This is an urgent requirement, so we're particularly interested in speaking with contractors who are immediately available or able to start at short notice.
The role is based in Lisburn, with the exact onsite/hybrid arrangement to be confirmed.
If you're a Data Engineer coming available and SQL is one of your strongest technical skills, get in touch with Aaron at Ocho for more information.
