HR Data & Automation Engineer (Project Based)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an HR Data & Automation Engineer (Project Based) based in the United Kingdom.

This is a project-based opportunity for a data and automation specialist to improve the accuracy, structure, and reliability of HR information. The role focuses on cleaning and reconciling employee master data and historical leave records across multiple sources. You will design streamlined, automated workflows for leave requests, approvals, and balance tracking while ensuring strong controls around sensitive HR information. The engagement combines data management, workflow automation, access governance, and process documentation. You will work independently and own the project from discovery through implementation, with limited IT and management touchpoints. The resulting solutions should be auditable, maintainable, and scalable across additional teams or country branches. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys turning complex, fragmented data and manual processes into reliable, automated systems.

Accountabilities

  • Review existing employee and HR data sources to identify duplicates, inconsistencies, missing information, data-quality issues, and structural gaps.
  • Define and implement a standardized employee master-data structure, including required fields, validation rules, ownership, and data-management standards.
  • Aggregate, clean, reconcile, and verify historical leave records from multiple sources, including time-tracking systems, spreadsheets, and historical communications.
  • Establish a reliable master baseline for employee and leave data that can serve as the foundation for ongoing HR operations.
  • Design and implement a future-state leave management workflow covering leave requests, approvals, balance tracking, notifications, and record maintenance.
  • Automate HR workflows using Google Workspace tools such as Google Forms and Sheets, or recommend and implement a stronger suitable alternative where appropriate.
  • Establish appropriate ownership models, validation controls, role-based access permissions, and audit trails for sensitive HR data.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce manual data entry, improve data accuracy, and strengthen the reliability and traceability of HR processes.
  • Document data structures, workflows, controls, and maintenance procedures to support ongoing administration and potential replication across additional country branches.
  • Work independently across the full fixed project scope, providing progress updates and engaging with IT or management when required.
  • Prepare project deliverables in line with the agreed scope, methodology, timeline, estimated effort, and budget.

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.
