BI Analyst / BI Developer

SQL sharp-shooter?
Know your way around Power BI and can turn raw data into real impact?
Let’s talk.

We’re looking for a BI Analyst / Developer to join a growing business that’s smashing it year after year — doubling turnover, growing teams, and levelling up their tech.

Based in Manchester (with hybrid flexibility), this is a chance to get stuck into meaningful work, not just crunch numbers.

You’ll be working closely with the Data Manager and key business users to build slick, user-friendly reports that actually help people do their jobs better. Think paginated reports that give teams exactly what they need, when they need it — with clarity and precision.

You’ll need solid SQL skills (queries + stored procedures), and experience with SSRS report building. Power BI is also part of the mix, so any dashboards or visualisation experience is a bonus.

What you'll be working with:
• SQL — writing, optimising, and making it sing
• SSRS — building paginated reports that people love using
• Power BI — dashboarding and data storytelling
• Excel or QlikView — nice to have, but not essential

This is a role where you’re not just sat behind a screen — you’ll be talking to people across the business, understanding what they need, and turning that into clean, useful, easy-to-digest data. You’ll have a voice, space to bring ideas, and be part of shaping how the team works.

What’s in it for you?
• Up to £50,000 salary
• Pension
• Hybrid working (Manchester HQ) - More remote than onsite
• A down-to-earth, supportive team

If you’re looking for a BI role where you can grow, be heard, and make a real difference — drop us your CV and let’s chat

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.

The Skills Gap in Data Engineering Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data engineering has quietly become one of the most critical roles in the modern technology stack. While data science and AI often receive the spotlight, data engineers are the professionals who design, build and maintain the systems that make data usable at scale. Across the UK, demand for data engineers continues to rise. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, government, media and technology all report difficulty hiring candidates with the right skills. Salaries remain strong, and experienced professionals are in short supply. Yet despite this demand, many graduates with degrees in computer science, data science or related disciplines struggle to secure data engineering roles. The reason is not academic ability. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data engineering work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data engineering.
