Senior Data Engineer
Manchester (3 Days per Week in the Office)
£80,000 - £90,000 + Private Healthcare + Life Insurance
Are you a Senior Data Engineer who prefers building the foundations that make reporting possible, rather than inheriting someone else's platform and maintaining it?
This role sits within a growing digital transformation and project controls consultancy delivering reporting and data solutions across major capital programmes. You'll work across two established client accounts from day one, building the data capability behind board-level reporting rather than simply producing dashboards.
The work starts with understanding what stakeholders need to know, tracing that back to where the data lives, then building the pipelines, models, controls and reporting layers needed to make those numbers trustworthy. The reality isn't tidy. You'll deal with APIs, spreadsheets, schedule exports, PDFs and manual submissions, designing solutions that identify bad data instead of quietly publishing it.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll take ownership of the full reporting stack, from data acquisition and modelling through to Azure platform development, semantic models and reporting outputs. You'll also work directly with planners, quantity surveyors and project managers to understand requirements and translate them into reliable reporting solutions.
Sector experience within construction, infrastructure or project controls would be beneficial, but it is not essential. The priority is strong technical depth, experience building data platforms from scratch, and exposure to large, complex environments where reporting accuracy matters.
