Data Engineer — Where Purpose Meets Pipeline

Looking to kickstart your data career with impact? Join a team that’s all about turning raw data into powerful insights — and having some fun along the way.

As our Data Engineer, you’ll help build smart, seamless data pipelines, design rock-solid data models, and keep our systems humming with reliable, clean data. You'll be the friendly face of data, working with analysts, program teams, and stakeholders to make sure the right information flows to the right people, at the right time.

Expect a mix of SQL wizardry, data architecture brainstorming, a little detective work fixing pipeline hiccups, and plenty of opportunities to grow your skills. You’ll also get hands-on with data governance, support business intelligence, and help us unlock new ways to use data for good.

What you’ll be doing:

• Crafting, optimizing, and maintaining data pipelines and models
• Collaborating with teams to turn data into decisions
• Troubleshooting, tweaking, and always improving our data systems
• Staying curious and keeping pace with data trends and tech

If you’re ready for a role that mixes technical smarts with real-world impact — and a team that backs you every step — we’d love to meet you.

This role is permanent full time based from our Southport Head Office.
