We’re supporting our clients as they adapt to a new world in the wake of COVID-19. We’re now recruiting for roles which will help our clients to deliver vital services and to resume business wherever possible.

What you’ll be doing:

The Data Engineer role specialises in Data and Analytical Solutions within the Capita Consulting business.  Within Capita Consulting we strive for excellence in all the delivery work we undertake.

Excellent communicational skills allow our Data Engineers to liaise effectively with not only our customers but our technical and non-technical colleagues. This enables us to understand complex requirements and challenges, as well as developing precise solutions that enable our customers to deliver valuable outcomes.

Our developments and projects are managed via either Agile or Prince methodologies.  The Data Engineer could work on solo projects or as part of digital squads that deliver larger project work.  A large proportion of our projects require end-to-end development, therefore a keen eye for detail is necessary and you will have developed solutions yourself using Python.

There is an expectation that Data Engineers keep their technical skills up to date through self-learning, internal training and structured training courses which will be factored into time spent on project related activities.

What we’re looking for:

• Valid UK Driving Licence
• Able to undergo SC and NPPV3 Clearance for work on Policing/Government projects
• Willingness to travel for work although majority will be home based         

Existing right to work in the UK and have been resident in the UK for the last 3 years.

Essential Technical Skills

Other desirable technical skills could include:

• ETL Development (SSIS/IBM DataStage/Informatica or similar)
• Microsoft Azure Data Factory
• Data Migration Project Experience
• Database Skills (Oracle 12c & SQL Server)
• C#
• Development
• Data Warehouse Solutions Architecture

What’s in it for you?

• A competitive basic salary and benefits
• Private Healthcare
• 25 days holiday (rising to 27) with the opportunity to buy extra leave
• Company matched pension, life assurance, a cycle2work scheme, 15 weeks’ fully paid maternity, adoption and shared parental leave…and plenty more
• Voluntary benefits designed to suit your lifestyle – from discounts on retail and socialising, to health & wellbeing, travel and technology
• The opportunity to take a paid day out of the office, volunteering for our charity partners or a cause of your choice
• Access to our Employee Network Groups, which represent every strand of diversity and allow colleagues to connect and learn from each other on an open, inclusive platform

There are countless opportunities to learn new skills and develop in your career, and we’ll provide the support you need to do just that. Our purpose is to create a better outcome for you.
