Senior Data Engineer 

My client is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join their expanding data team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative, insight-driven environment and is passionate about leveraging data to deliver tangible business value.

This is not a role for someone just moving data from A to B with Python — it’s for someone who understands how to model, optimise, and apply data to support better business decisions.

Key Experience Required:

Expertise in SQL Server (approx. 75% of the role) including performance tuning, data warehousing, and reporting.

Experience with AWS data services (approx. 25%), particularly RDS, S3, Lambda, EventBridge, and building data pipelines in cloud-native environments.

Proven delivery of dimensional/Kimball data models in collaboration with Data Analysts.

Strong proficiency with Power BI, including performance optimisation and deployment strategies.

Hands-on experience with Python for automation and data transformation (not just file handling).

Understanding and experience of Data Governance frameworks and implementation.

Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and source control for reports and analytics.

Bonus: Familiarity with SageMaker or similar ML/predictive analytics platforms.

We're looking for someone who:

Thinks like a data user, not just a data builder – with a strong sense of how to deliver real-world business outcomes.

Is confident shaping and optimising data for analytical consumption.

Collaborates well with analysts, product owners, and stakeholders to translate problems into solutions.

Why Join?

Be part of a growing, innovation-led organisation committed to building intelligent, insight-driven systems.

Access excellent benefits including hybrid working, on-site gym, CSR days, birthday leave, and more.

Contribute to a high-impact, forward-looking data strategy with genuine business engagement.

Hybrid working policy: This role is classed as hybrid, with the expectation of just one day per month/quarter in the Manchester office.

Interested? Apply now to be part of a team where your work directly drives smarter decisions and impactful outcomes.

Part-Time Study Routes That Lead to Machine Learning Jobs: Evening Courses, Bootcamps & Online Masters

Machine learning—a subset of artificial intelligence—enables computers to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming. From predictive maintenance in manufacturing to recommendation engines in e-commerce and diagnostic tools in healthcare, machine learning (ML) underpins many of today’s most innovative applications. In the UK, demand for ML professionals—engineers, data scientists, research scientists and ML operations specialists—is growing rapidly, with roles projected to increase by over 50% in the next five years. However, many aspiring ML practitioners cannot step away from work or personal commitments for full-time study. Thankfully, a rich ecosystem of part-time learning pathways—Evening Courses, Intensive Bootcamps and Flexible Online Master’s Programmes—empowers you to learn machine learning while working.
