Applause IT Recruitment
Data & Insights Engineer | Power BI | SQL | Data Engineering
Halesowen / Remote
Permanent
Are you a Data or BI Engineer who wants to do more than simply build dashboards?
We're recruiting for a Data & Insights Engineer to join a growing Data & Analytics function, combining hands-on Power BI development with data engineering, modelling and transformation .
You'll work across the data lifecycle, from shaping and engineering the underlying datasets through to creating reporting and insights used by teams across Operations, Finance, HR and the wider organisation.
It's a particularly strong opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of BI and wants greater exposure to modern data engineering and cloud data platforms .
What you'll be working on
- Designing and developing Power BI dashboards, reports and semantic models
- Building and optimising DAX calculations and data models
- Developing data pipelines using SQL and modern data platforms
- Transforming and modelling data for scalable reporting
- Improving data quality, consistency and governance
- Integrating data from multiple systems and sources
- Working directly with stakeholders to turn complex requirements into useful insights
- Helping shape reporting, data architecture and governance as the function continues to mature
What we're looking for
You'll ideally bring strong experience across:
Power BI | SQL / SQL Server | DAX | Data Modelling | Data Transformation | Data Engineering / BI Engineering
You'll need to be comfortable working across both the engineering and reporting layers rather than specialising exclusively in one.
Experience with any of the following would be particularly valuable:
Microsoft Fabric | Snowflake | Databricks | ETL | APIs | Python | Data Governance
Why consider it?
This is a chance to join a growing data function that's investing in its technology and moving towards a more modern data environment.
Rather than inheriting a narrow reporting position, you'll have the opportunity to work across BI, engineering, architecture and data quality , while helping shape how data is used across a large, complex organisation.
The work also has a genuine purpose – the insights and systems you build ultimately support better decision-making across services for children, young people and adults throughout the UK.
Interested?
Apply directly or drop me a message for a confidential conversation about the role and the wider data transformation.
