About the Role

Our client is seeking a highly skilled Data Engineer with strong Celonis process mining expertise to join a leading financial services organisation. This role plays a pivotal part in enabling enterprise-wide process intelligence by transforming complex banking data into accurate, analysis‑ready insights.

Working within a regulated banking environment, you will design and deliver high‑quality event logs, build robust data pipelines, and optimise Celonis data models to support end‑to‑end visibility and drive operational improvement.

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Engineering & Event Log Construction

* Design, build, and maintain scalable event‑log pipelines for Celonis process mining.

* Translate raw process event data (case IDs, activities, timestamps, attributes) into structured Celonis Data Models.

* Ensure reusability, consistency, and performance across multiple processes.

2. Data Model & Pipeline Development

* Develop and optimise ETL/ELT pipelines from ERP and transactional banking systems.

* Manage data ingestion, transformation, and refresh pipelines for Celonis datasets.

* Build and fine‑tune Celonis CCPM and OCPM data models aligned to business requirements.

* Work with large-volume transactional datasets while preserving end‑to‑end traceability.

3. Performance, Quality & Assurance

* Optimise SQL queries, transformations, and data models for performance at scale.

* Conduct data validation, reconciliation, and root‑cause analysis.

* Identify and resolve data quality issues proactively.

4. Collaboration & Documentation

* Partner closely with process analysts, functional teams, and business stakeholders.

* Document data models, ETL logic, event log definitions, and technical decisions.

* Support business users by enabling reliable, analysis‑ready datasets within Celonis.

5. Governance & Best Practice

* Ensure compliance with enterprise data governance, security, and audit standards.

* Apply modern engineering best practices including version control, modular design, and pipeline monitoring.

* Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the data engineering landscape.

Your Profile

Essential Skills

* Proven experience in Celonis data engineering and process mining execution.

* Hands‑on expertise with event log creation, Celonis data modelling (CCPM/OCPM), and PQL logic.

* Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, ETL/ELT, and data modelling.

* Experience handling high‑volume transactional datasets and performance optimisation.

Desirable Skills

* Understanding of process mining techniques and their analytics implications.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
