The role

At Network Plus, our data transformation journey is well underway. Over the last 12 months, we have successfully migrated significant portions of our on-premises data warehouse and Power BI estate to Microsoft Fabric, establishing a modern, scalable data platform that supports enterprise reporting, analytics, and operational decision-making.

Our Data Engineering team has built the foundations of a robust Fabric-based data platform, including automated ingestion pipelines, medallion architecture lakehouses, semantic models, and governance frameworks. As we continue to mature our platform and expand adoption across the business, we are looking for talented Data Engineers to help shape the next phase of our data strategy.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that has moved beyond platform implementation and is now focused on optimisation, innovation, data quality, and delivering measurable business value through data.

We are seeking a skilled Data Engineer with experience in Microsoft Fabric, Azure data technologies, and modern data warehouse architectures to join our growing Data Engineering team.

  • Design, develop, and maintain data pipelines, lakehouses, and warehouse solutions within Microsoft Fabric.
  • Support the ongoing migration and modernisation of legacy on-premises data warehouse and reporting solutions.
  • Develop and optimise ETL/ELT processes using Fabric Data Factory, Notebooks, PySpark, SQL, and related technologies.
  • Collaborate with Data Analysts, BI Developers, and business stakeholders to understand and deliver data requirements.
  • Implement and maintain data quality, governance, security, and monitoring processes.
  • Optimise platform performance, data models, and storage strategies to maximise efficiency and scalability.
  • Support semantic models and reporting solutions that enable self-service analytics across the organisation.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve data platform issues while continuously improving operational reliability.
  • Contribute to data architecture standards, best practices, and technical documentation.

Skills & Expertise

  • Strong experience with Microsoft Fabric and/or Azure Data Services, including Data Lake Storage, Data Factory, Azure SQL, and Synapse technologies.
  • Experience designing and supporting enterprise data warehouses and lakehouse architectures.
  • Proficiency in SQL, Python, PySpark, and data engineering best practices.
  • Strong understanding of ETL/ELT development, data modelling, and dimensional modelling techniques.
