Summary

Hands-on contract Data Engineer role (via recruiter Bright Purple) on a major data transformation programme in Edinburgh: migrating a legacy data warehouse to Microsoft Fabric. Initial focus is migration testing, debugging data differences and remediation ahead of go-live, then post-go-live support and building data pipelines. Core stack: Microsoft Fabric, PySpark, SQL, with Power BI beneficial.

Bright Purple are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join a major data transformation programme in Edinburgh. This is a hands on contract role, joining at an important point in the transition from a legacy data warehouse to a new Microsoft Fabric environment.

With go live approaching, your initial focus will be on the final stages of the migration, testing outputs, identifying and debugging differences in data, and making the remedial changes required to get the new environment ready for production. Once live, you will move into post go live support and continued development, building data pipelines and helping deliver the data and reporting requirements across the business.

What we’re looking for:

  • Microsoft Fabric experience is a must have. You don't need years of experience, but you must have used Fabric on at least one real world commercial project
  • Excellent PySpark and SQL skills
  • Experience building and developing data pipelines
  • Strong data testing, validation and debugging skills
  • Experience working across data warehouse migrations or modernisation projects
  • Power BI experience would be beneficial

The key here is the combination of strong core Microsoft data engineering experience with genuine exposure to Fabric. We're not looking for a Fabric specialist, but equally, training or self learning alone won't be enough.

This is an initial contract offering £400 to £475 per day, Inside IR35, with hybrid working in Edinburgh.
