Data Engineer – Up to £75k –  Derby (3 Days a Week) – SC Clearable – Infrastructure Projects

Are you a technically sharp, consultative data engineer ready to embed yourself in one of the UK’s most important infrastructure programmes?

We’re working with a global engineering consultancy at the forefront of the energy transition. They’re building out their data & analytics capability and this role is your chance to be the first data specialist on the project. 

The end client? One of the UK’s most recognisable engineering organisations. You’ll be the bridge between technical and business teams, delivering insights where spreadsheets currently dominate, and helping to modernise how critical infrastructure decisions are made.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and building scalable, efficient datasets using SQL

• Extracting, transforming, and consolidating segmented BIM data sources

• Creating intuitive Power BI dashboards to support decision-making

• Collaborating with engineers, BIM leads and project teams to define requirements and use cases

• Acting as the go-to data expert in a hands-on, consultative capacity

• Building trust on-site with stakeholders and laying the groundwork to productise insights in the long term

What they’re looking for:

• Strong SQL skills (essential)

• Cognos experience (must-have)

• Power BI experience (must-have)

• Python for data manipulation (preferred)

• Comfortable working on-site in Derby 3 days a week

• BIM knowledge or the ability to pick it up quickly

• Someone who’s consultative, business-aware, and not afraid to get stuck in

Nice to have:

• Azure or similar cloud platform experience

• Understanding of BIM data standards (e.g. IFC, COBie, ISO 19650)

• Experience working with sensitive or regulated data

• Familiarity with engineering or asset-heavy environments

Why this role?

• Up to £75k salary

• SC clearance support (must be a sole UK national born in the UK)

• Long-term opportunity to take ownership or even move into a bigger role

• Join a growing capability in a global organisation backed by years of engineering heritage

This is a hands-on role in a company that’s serious about transforming how infrastructure projects use data, starting with you.
