Role: Data Engineer with Power Automate

Location: London (preferred), open to Birmingham, Manchester, or Newcastle

Duration: 6+ months contract


Mandatory: Power Automate Experience & Databricks


A "Data Engineer with Power Automate" job description would typically seek a candidate with strong data engineering skills, including data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL), combined with proficiency in using Microsoft Power Automate to automate data workflows and processes within a business system, often integrating with various data sources and applications across the Microsoft Power Platform.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain data pipelines using Power Automate to extract data from diverse sources (databases, APIs, flat files, etc.), transform it as needed, and load it into target systems like data warehouses, data lakes, or business applications.
  • Create automated workflows within Power Automate to streamline data processing tasks like data cleansing, validation, and data quality checks.
  • Connect Power Automate to various Microsoft services like SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Azure, and Office 365 to facilitate seamless data flow between different systems.
  • Implement data quality controls and data governance practices within Power Automate workflows to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
  • Work with business analysts, data analysts, and other stakeholders to understand data requirements, translate them into Power Automate solutions, and deliver actionable insights.


Required Skills:

  • Strong understanding of data warehousing concepts, data modeling, ETL processes, data quality best practices.
  • Extensive experience designing and developing complex workflows using Power Automate, including connectors, triggers, actions, and data manipulation.
  • Proficient in at least one programming language like Python, SQL, or C# for data manipulation and custom logic within Power Automate.
  • Familiarity with Azure data services (Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, Azure SQL Database) for large-scale data processing.
  • Ability to analyze data using Power BI or other data visualization tools to identify trends and insights.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
