DATA ENGINEER (MICROSOFT AZURE & FABRIC)

ABOUT DIGIMASTERS

Digimasters Ltd was founded in 2017 as a digital transformation consultancy focused on technology, business process optimisation and data analytics. Digimasters works across all industries and provides experience in organisations of all sizes. Primarily based in London, UK, we work in many regions including the US, EU, APAC and the Middle East. Digimasters takes on additional talent during large programmes of work. For our engagements with clients in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), as well as other sectors, we have several roles supporting the delivery of technology, business change, and data programmes.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our delivery team on a contract basis, with a specific focus on designing, building, and optimising data solutions on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Fabric. This role is critical to helping our clients unlock the full value of their data assets, supporting advanced analytics, reporting, and digital transformation. The ideal candidate will be confident working with a modern data stack, automating data pipelines, and delivering reliable, scalable, and high-quality data solutions in enterprise environments. This position reports to the Managing Director of Digimasters and will work closely with our clients’ technical teams, as well as internal data architects, analysts, and governance specialists.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and data integration workflows using Microsoft Azure services such as Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Data Lake, Databricks, and related technologies. Implement and support Microsoft Fabric solutions, including dataflows, data warehouses, and real-time analytics features. Develop and maintain ETL/ELT processes to support business reporting, analytics, and machine learning. Optimise data architectures for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency in cloud environments. Collaborate with data architects, analysts, and business stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver data solutions aligned with business goals. Ensure high-quality, secure, and compliant data management practices, in line with G.D.P.R. and relevant data regulations. Support the migration and modernisation of legacy data systems into Azure and Microsoft Fabric environments. Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve data workflows, implementing automation and error-handling as needed. Produce and maintain technical documentation for data pipelines, architecture, and best practices.

EXPECTATIONS IN THE ROLE

Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure data services (Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Data Lake, Databricks). Direct experience delivering solutions using Microsoft Fabric. Advanced SQL skills and experience with data modelling, transformation, and integration. Familiarity with data governance, data quality, and compliance frameworks. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, client-facing environment. Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical solutions into business value.

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field preferred. At least 3 years of experience as a Data Engineer, ideally in consulting, professional services, or large enterprise environments. Demonstrable expertise in building data pipelines and cloud data solutions on Azure. Experience with Microsoft Fabric is strongly preferred. Knowledge of Python or other scripting languages is an advantage. Certification in Microsoft Azure Data Engineering or related is a plus.

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data engineering jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach Spark, dbt, Snowflake and platform engineering talent. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering 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.

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data engineering hiring over the next three years — Spark, dbt, lakehouse and AI. Data engineering has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the entire technology sector — and one of the most reliably in-demand. Every organisation that wants to use data to make decisions, train AI models, personalise products, manage risk, or understand its customers depends on data engineers to build the infrastructure that makes any of that possible. Without well-designed, reliable data pipelines, the most sophisticated machine learning model is worthless and the most ambitious analytics strategy is undeliverable. That foundational importance has made data engineering hiring remarkably resilient through the technology market corrections of the past few years. Where headcount reductions fell heavily on some engineering disciplines, demand for data engineers held firm — because the work of building and maintaining data infrastructure cannot be deferred in the way that some product development can. The data keeps coming. The pipelines need to work. But the data engineering jobs market of 2026 is not simply a stable version of what it was three years ago. The discipline has undergone a series of architectural shifts — from batch to streaming, from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses, from hand-rolled pipelines to declarative transformation frameworks, and most recently toward AI-augmented data engineering workflows that are beginning to reshape what the role looks like in practice. The employers hiring data engineers today are asking for a meaningfully different skill set than those hiring three years ago. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which architectural patterns are becoming standard, which technologies are defining the modern data stack, and how the definition of a data engineering career is evolving toward a richer intersection of infrastructure, analytics, and AI enablement. This article breaks down what the UK data engineering jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
