Stanton House is working with a global distributor of safety products generating approximately £80 million in global revenue. The business is currently growing and looking for a Data Engineer to join their team and take ownership of data architecture.

The business is exploring opportunities to modernise their data environment, including a planned migration to Microsoft Fabric. You will be responsible for designing and building robust data foundations, ensuring accurate, clean, and well-structured data across multiple systems.

The role suits someone who enjoys working independently in a low-complexity, well-balanced environment, with a strong emphasis on thoughtful design and structured delivery rather than rapid experimentation.

• Develop and maintain reliable data pipelines and SQL-based data structures
• Support the business by preparing data for reporting and visualisation (report creation will be handled by internal teams)
• Lead the migration and evolution of the data platform towards Microsoft Fabric
• Work independently to define data structures, models, and flows using a logical, structured approach
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand system requirements and data needs

Skills Needed

• Strong experience in data engineering roles
• Proven ability to integrate multiple data sources (ERP, CRM, third-party systems)
• Solid experience with SQL and database design
• Experience building data lakes or similar data platforms from the ground up
• Strong data validation, cleansing, and data quality management skills
• Logical, methodical mindset with a structured, design-first approach
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
