  • Senior Data Engineer
  • Portsmouth - Onsite 1 day a week
  • 6 month contract - 2 year programme
  • Inside of IR35
  • £600 per day

My client is embarking on a major transformation of its Housing Management services - replacing several ageing, disparate systems with a single, modern, cloud-hosted Housing Management System (HMS). This high-impact, strategically backed programme will improve services for more than 15,000 households and establish a strong digital foundation for future change.

We are seeking an experienced Data Lead to own and deliver the entire data migration workstream - a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth transition from the existing NEC Housing system into the new integrated platform. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who has "been through the trenches" of large-scale data migrations in housing or local authority environments.

As the Data Lead, you will:

  • Lead migration from NEC Housing to the new HMS
  • Own the ETL lifecycle - export, transform, cleanse, deduplicate, validate, and load.
  • Analyse existing data structures, working with housing teams to interpret free-text or non-standard data and determine what should move into the target system.

Key Skills and Experience

  • Strong experience as a hands on Senior Data Engineer
  • Experience working with local authority or housing associations, including regulatory requirements, compliance and consumer standards.
  • Proven track record migrating data from systems such as NEC Housing or other major HMS platforms.
  • Expertise in ETL processes, data modelling, cleansing, SQL-based transformation and multi-stage reconciliation cycles.
  • Understanding of cloud-hosted SaaS architectures, APIs and secure integration patterns.

If you are available and interested, please apply today!

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.

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.
