Data Engineer

Location: Worthing, near Brighton (1–2 days per week on site)

Help build the data platform of the future.

We're looking for three Data Engineers to join a growing Data & Analytics function within a major UK Utilities business, as the exclusive talent partner.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a significant, high-visibility data transformation programme, helping reshape how data is managed, governed and used across the organisation.

Rather than simply maintaining existing systems, you'll be working at the heart of a transformation, designing and building modern data solutions that support business intelligence, advanced analytics, machine learning and operational decision-making.

You'll have the opportunity to influence engineering standards, improve data quality and build scalable solutions that will make a tangible difference.

What you'll be doing

• Designing, building and optimising data pipelines, data stores and integrations across Microsoft Azure.
• Developing ELT pipelines to ingest, transform and manage data from multiple enterprise sources into a modern Delta Lake environment.
• Working with Azure Data Factory, Databricks Workflows and other Azure services to automate and orchestrate data processing.
• Developing scalable data models and storage solutions to support a variety of business and analytical requirements.
• Improving data quality, governance, security and compliance across the enterprise.
• Implementing monitoring, error handling and performance optimisation to ensure reliable, efficient data pipelines.
• Working closely with Data Scientists, BI Engineers, Developers and business stakeholders to deliver solutions that support wider organisational objectives.

What we're looking for

We're interested in engineers who enjoy solving complex data challenges and want to contribute to something bigger than individual development projects.

You'll ideally bring:

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure data services, particularly Azure Databricks and Azure Data Factory .
• Experience designing and building data pipelines , ELT processes and data integrations.
• Strong SQL and programming experience, ideally including Python , PowerShell, Bash or Scala.
• An understanding of relational and non-relational databases, data warehousing and data modelling.
• Experience with data quality, governance, monitoring and performance optimisation.
• An understanding of how data architecture and engineering decisions translate into business outcomes.
• The ability to work collaboratively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Microsoft Purview and Azure Key Vault would be particularly beneficial.

This is an opportunity to join a business investing heavily in its data capabilities and to help shape what that looks like for years to come.

You'll be joining a collaborative and supportive team where personal development is encouraged. The business actively supports individual career ambitions through development planning, learning opportunities, funded qualifications and attendance at relevant industry events.

You'll also benefit from a competitive package, including annual bonus, pension, 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays, health and wellbeing support and much more.
