How you will Energise Our Team 🤝
Valda Energy is investing in a modern data platform built on Microsoft Fabric, transforming how data is integrated, managed, and used across the business. We’re looking for a Junior Data Engineer to join our growing Business Intelligence team and help build scalable data solutions that support reporting, analytics, and automation.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong technical foundation and a passion for data engineering and software development. You may have experience from a junior commercial role, placement, internship, or academic projects, or be a recent graduate ready to take the next step. Working alongside experienced data engineers, you’ll develop data pipelines, integrate data from multiple systems, and build your expertise in modern cloud technologies and data platforms. Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure, or the wider Microsoft data ecosystem is beneficial but not essential — we’ll provide support and mentoring as you grow.
