Help build the data foundations behind Belong’s future

Belong is investing in its digital and data capabilities, and we are looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to help shape what comes next.

This is a newly important role within our Central Services IT team. You will design, build and maintain the modern data infrastructure that supports reporting, analytics, operational decision-making and future AI use cases across Belong.

Working closely with colleagues across IT, digital and operational services, you will bring together data from multiple systems and turn it into secure, reliable and accessible information.

You will also play a key part in reducing our reliance on legacy tools and creating a connected data environment that supports better decisions across the organisation.

What will you be doing?

You will:

-   Design, build and maintain data pipelines, storage and integration layers.
-   Develop modern data warehouse and data lake solutions.
-   Integrate data from internal and external systems using APIs and other integration methods.
-   Transform raw data into structured and trusted datasets.
-   Design data models, schemas and structures that support scalability and performance.
-   Improve data quality by cleaning, transforming and standardising information.
-   Automate data processes and optimise queries, pipelines and data processing.
-   Support the development of reporting and dashboards using tools such as Power BI.
-   Help move Belong away from Access and Excel-based legacy processes.
-   Maintain effective data security, access controls and governance.
-   Document data models, pipelines and processes clearly.
-   Support data migration and integration activity during system implementations.
-   Lay the foundations for predictive analytics and future AI use cases.
-   Contribute to Belong’s wider digital and data strategy.

## Requirements

You will be an experienced data professional who can take ownership of complex technical work while communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues.

We are looking for someone with:

-   Strong experience working with SQL Server and relational databases.
-   Experience designing and building data pipelines and data structures.
-   Experience integrating data from multiple systems using APIs.
-   Knowledge of modern data platforms, including data warehouses or cloud-based data solutions.
-   A strong understanding of data modelling, transformation and optimisation.
-   Experience using reporting and analytics tools such as Power BI.
-   Experience working with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS or equivalent.
-   Scripting experience using Python, PowerShell or similar technologies.
-   Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
-   The ability to work independently and manage complex technical priorities.
-   Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work with a range of stakeholders.
-   Experience with data lakes, ETL or ELT tools, orchestration platforms, advanced analytics or AI use cases would be an advantage.
