Data Engineer

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.

You will play a key role in enhancing and expanding our enterprise data platform, supporting the migration of remaining legacy solutions, and ensuring that high-quality, trusted data is available across Network Plus.
