Turn messy, fragmented data into something the business can actually trust.

About the client:

You will be working with a major UK-based organisation that operates across a portfolio of well-known brands, delivering at scale within a complex distribution environment. With deeply integrated ERP and finance systems, the business is now undergoing a significant shift in how it uses data. Following recent system changes, there is a clear focus on modernising reporting and building a more transparent, reliable data landscape that can support future growth.

Project overview:

This programme is focused on rebuilding critical financial reporting that has been disrupted, including complex margin and rebate calculations that sit at the heart of commercial performance. Alongside this, you will help design and deliver scalable data pipelines, transformation logic, and reporting outputs within a modern Azure environment. The work will establish a repeatable blueprint that can be rolled out across multiple business units, playing a key role in the transition away from legacy systems to a clean, future-ready data platform.

What you will be doing:

You will take ownership of building and maintaining robust data pipelines within Azure, working hands-on to deliver reliable, high-performance data solutions. This includes developing workflows in Databricks and or Synapse, and transforming data from a range of sources such as CSV and Excel into clean, usable datasets. A key part of the role will involve translating complex pricing and margin logic into scalable data models, ensuring accuracy and consistency across reporting. You will also focus on improving data quality, validation processes, and overall performance, while supporting the move away from legacy reporting tools. Alongside this, you will contribute to the design of a scalable data architecture that can be leveraged across multiple business units.

Tech environment:

You will be working across a modern Azure stack including Data Lake, Synapse, Databricks, Data Factory, and SQL, with exposure to complex enterprise data environments.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone with strong experience across Azure data engineering tools and a proven track record of building ETL or ELT pipelines in production environments. You should have solid SQL and data transformation skills, along with experience handling large and complex datasets.

Equally important is your ability to work closely with analysts and business stakeholders, translating requirements into effective data solutions.

Nice to have:

Experience working with ERP or finance data would be highly beneficial, as would any background in transformation or migration programmes where legacy systems are being modernised.

Contract details: 6 month fixed term contract with potential to extend or move into a permanent role

Salary: Up to £60,000

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

Advertising data engineering jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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 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.
