Data Engineer - Python / PySpark / Microsoft Fabric £55,000 - £65,000 + Benefits St Helens - 1-2 days per week This is an opportunity to join an organisation at a particularly interesting point in the development of its data capability. The business has invested heavily in modernising a sizeable legacy data estate, moving away from traditional SQL-based platforms and establishing a modern Microsoft Fabric/Azure data environment. The foundations are now in place. The next stage is about building on them. As the Data Engineer, you'll join a growing team responsible for developing the pipelines, transformations and data products that sit on top of the new platform. Importantly, this isn't a traditional Azure Data Engineer role dominated by ADF, stored procedures and drag-and-drop development. The team is deliberately moving towards a more code-led engineering approach, with a strong emphasis on Python, PySpark and notebook-based development. What you'll be working with The environment includes: Python / PySpark Microsoft Fabric Spark and notebook development Lakehouse architecture Medallion / Bronze, Silver & Gold patterns Delta tables SQL Azure Git / source control CI/CD Testing, monitoring and data quality Experience with Azure Databricks is particularly relevant and transfers well into what the team is building within Fabric. You don't necessarily need commercial Fabric experience if you've worked in a modern Databricks/Spark/Python engineering environment. Equally, we're open to strong Python Data Engineers who have built production-grade data solutions through code and are looking to move deeper into PySpark, distributed processing and Fabric. What makes this different? The business isn't simply replacing one data warehouse with another. With the core modernisation underway, attention is moving towards how the organisation uses its data, including more sophisticated data products, automation, AI and Generative AI. That creates an opportunity to join while there's still a significant amount to build, improve and influence. We're looking for somebody who enjoys engineering - someone who would rather write code, solve problems and build something properly than spend their career connecting boxes together in a UI. Salary: £55,000 - £65,000 Hybrid: 1-2 days per week in the St Helens

I'm recruiting a Senior Data Engineer to join an established organisation continuing a significant modernisation of its data capability.

They aren't looking for someone who wants to move away from development into pure management. You'll work across: Python / PySpark Microsoft Fabric Spark and notebook engineering Lakehouse / Medallion architecture Delta SQL Azure Git / CI/CD Automated testing Data quality and observability Reusable engineering patterns They're particularly interested in people coming from Databricks/PySpark environments, so extensive Fabric experience isn't essential. At Senior level, you'll also have the opportunity to influence architecture, technical design, coding standards, CI/CD, testing and engineering best practice, while supporting other engineers and taking ownership of more complex technical problems. There's still a significant amount to build, and the longer-term direction extends beyond traditional data engineering into AI, Generative AI and intelligent automation. It's a good opportunity for somebody who wants to remain deeply technical and hands-on, but wants more influence over how a modern data engineering capability develops. £70,000 - £80,000 North West 1-2 days per week Potential flexibility above this for an exceptional candidate.

You will be expected to build the structure, introduce the governance and create the tools, reporting and disciplines needed to improve project delivery across the business. It is a highly hands-on position, combining PMO leadership with the practical delivery work required to get the function established and embedded. The Role Working across a portfolio of business and technology change initiatives, you will create greater visibility, consistency and control around project delivery. You will work closely with project managers, workstream leads and senior stakeholders to understand what is being delivered, establish appropriate governance and ensure leadership has a clear view of progress, risks, dependencies, resources and priorities. Key responsibilities will include: Establishing and developing the PMO framework, governance and ways of working. Creating practical project standards, templates, controls and reporting processes. Establishing portfolio-level visibility across projects, programmes and change initiatives. Implementing effective RAID, dependency, milestone and action management. Developing clear and meaningful reporting for senior leadership and steering groups. Establishing appropriate governance forums, project gates and decision-making processes. Supporting portfolio planning, prioritisation and resource visibility. Improving consistency around project planning, status reporting and delivery controls. Challenging project teams where milestones, risks or dependencies are not being effectively managed. Working directly with Project Managers and workstream leads to improve delivery discipline. Supporting business cases, benefits tracking and post-implementation reviews. Identifying gaps in the existing project environment and putting pragmatic solutions in place. Helping embed a consistent project delivery culture across the organisation. Continually improving the PMO as the transformation portfolio develops. What We're Looking For We are looking for someone who has previously built, established or significantly improved a PMO, rather than simply operated within a mature one. You are likely to have: Strong experience as a PMO Manager, PMO Lead or Senior PMO professional within a transformation or change environment. Experience establishing PMO governance, controls and reporting from the ground up. Strong portfolio and programme governance experience. The ability to turn an inconsistent project environment into a clear, structured and manageable portfolio. Experience producing concise, insightful reporting for senior stakeholders. Strong knowledge of RAID management, dependencies, planning, governance and delivery assurance. Confidence working with and challenging Project Managers and senior stakeholders. A pragmatic approach - introducing enough governance to improve delivery without creating unnecessary bureaucracy. Strong Excel, PowerPoint and project/portfolio reporting capability. Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills. Most importantly, you will be a doer. This role requires someone comfortable moving between the strategic and the detailed - one minute helping leadership understand the health of the overall portfolio, the next building a reporting pack, improving a RAID log or working directly with a Project Manager to get a project back under control. Why Join? This is an opportunity to put your stamp on a PMO rather than inherit someone else's. You will join a successful organisation with a meaningful portfolio of change underway and have the autonomy to shape how projects and programmes are governed and delivered going forward. For someone who enjoys creating structure, solving delivery problems and building PMO capability, this offers the opportunity to make a visible impact across the business.
