A BI developer is required to join a global company based in Glasgow that is embarking on a digital transformation and entering a period of growth. This role will be crucial in helping to rebuild the companies reporting infrastructure, so it's a great opportunity to have a direct impact on a business critical project.

The company:

This is a well established company that's really picked up momentum lately, thanks to some big client wins and smart moves into new international markets (with more on the way!). With ambitious plans for the years ahead and major IT upgrades already underway, it's a great time to get involved. The company is focused on innovation, pushing boundaries, trying new things, and moving the industry forward. You'll have the chance to build new tools and influence how things are done from the ground up. Your work will genuinely have a tangible impact on the business.

The role:

Over the next 12 months, the business will be overhauling its entire reporting infrastructure, and you'll be right at the heart of it. From day one, you'll be working across the full BI pipeline to rebuild reporting architecture using SQL, SSRS, SSIS, and Power BI, design brand new ETL pipelines, and deliver meaningful business critical insights. It's a rare opportunity to help shape a modern data landscape from the ground up, not just maintain what's already there. You'll split your time evenly between infrastructure transformation projects and high priority BAU work. You'll be joining a tight knit team with two other experienced BI Developers and will work closely with key stakeholders across the business, giving you plenty of autonomy and responsibility.

You'll ideally have strong commercial experience with the following;

** SQL

** Power BI

** SSRS and SSIS

** Experience building ETL pipelines

The salary for this role is between £35k to £45k (DOE) including a range of company benefits. They support hybrid working at their Glasgow city centre office, (where you'll be expected onsite 3 days a week), it's conveniently located near public transport links, with onsite parking too.

It's genuinely a great time to join the business, as they're already well established in their sector, and are now beginning a digital transformation, and have ambitious plans. You'll play a key role in helping modernise many of their data processes and will be given real opportunities for growth and progression.

If this sounds like it could be a good opportunity for you then please apply or reach out to Matthew MacAlpine at Cathcart Technology
