Job Description:

Technical Lead – Power BI – SC Cleared

We’re standing up a brand-new enterprise reporting solution within a large-scale government programme and we need a hands-on Technical Lead (Lead Data Engineer) to shape the technical design from day one.

This role goes beyond standard dashboarding. You’ll define the end-to-end data architecture (sourcing, ETL, orchestration, data modelling) that underpins critical KPIs for monitoring performance across multiple services. Your design will directly inform how senior leaders track and improve delivery at scale.

You’ll be working closely with architects, product teams, and business analysts leading a small, focused team (BA, Power BI Analyst, Delivery Manager) to turn complex, cross-departmental data into actionable insight.

What you’ll be doing

  • Define the high-level technical design for a new KPI reporting solution.
  • Architect the full data pipeline: sourcing, ETL/ELT, database layer, orchestration, and models.
  • Guide the Power BI build and integration, ensuring performance and governance are baked in.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to align technical and business goals.
  • Lay the groundwork for Phase 2 detailed design and delivery.

What we’re looking for

  • Active SC Clearance (essential)
  • Proven experience as a Lead Data Engineer / Technical Architect in complex government or regulated environments.
  • Strong background in Power BI, data modelling, and dashboard optimisation.
  • Hands-on expertise with AWS (Athena/Redshift advantageous).
  • Excellent stakeholder management – able to influence, challenge, and guide non-technical colleagues.

Why this role?

This is a chance to own the blueprint for a strategically critical reporting solution, working at the intersection of data, governance, and mission delivery. If you’re someone who thrives on designing scalable solutions, simplifying complexity, and ensuring data drives real-world outcomes, this is the role for you.

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Engineering Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.
