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

Data Engineering Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data engineering in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, companies of all sizes — from fintechs to government agencies, retailers to healthcare providers — are building data teams to turn vast amounts of information into insight and value. That means demand for data engineering talent remains strong, but there’s a gap between media hype and the real pathways available to mid-career professionals. This guide gives you the straight UK reality check: which data engineering roles are genuinely open to career switchers, what skills employers actually look for, how long retraining really takes and how to position your experience for success.

How to Write a Data Engineering Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data engineering is the backbone of modern data-driven organisations. From analytics and machine learning to business intelligence and real-time platforms, data engineers build the pipelines, platforms and infrastructure that make data usable at scale. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data engineering candidates. Job adverts often generate high application volumes, but few applicants have the practical skills needed to build and maintain production-grade data systems. At the same time, experienced data engineers skip over adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or misaligned with real-world data engineering work. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data engineers are pragmatic, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immature data practices and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals strong engineering culture and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data engineering job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible data employer.

Maths for Data Engineering Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, maths can feel like a vague requirement hiding behind phrases like “strong analytical skills”, “performance mindset” or “ability to reason about systems”. Most of the time, hiring managers are not looking for advanced theory. They want confidence with the handful of maths topics that show up in real pipelines: Rates, units & estimation (throughput, cost, latency, storage growth) Statistics for data quality & observability (distributions, percentiles, outliers, variance) Probability for streaming, sampling & approximate results (sketches like HyperLogLog++ & the logic behind false positives) Discrete maths for DAGs, partitioning & systems thinking (graphs, complexity, hashing) Optimisation intuition for SQL plans & Spark performance (joins, shuffles, partition strategy, “what is the bottleneck”) This article is written for UK job seekers targeting roles like Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Platform Data Engineer, Data Warehouse Engineer, Streaming Data Engineer or DataOps Engineer.
