Head of Data Engineering – Microsoft Fabric | Contract | Outside IR35

I’m working with a growing technology consultancy that is looking for a Head of Data Engineering to lead a Microsoft Fabric-focused data engineering function on an initial 6-month rolling contract.

This is a hands-on leadership role rather than a purely strategic position. You’ll be responsible for setting the technical direction, helping shape the data engineering capability and working closely with senior stakeholders and delivery teams.

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.
