The Role:

Joining our Data and Systems Team within Children’s Services as a Data Engineer, you’ll be a subject matter expert and principal contact for technical solution development, helping to shape the future of our data capabilities.

In this pivotal and demanding role, you’ll combine your technical expertise with innovation to improve processes, develop Office 365 (O365) solutions, and build low-code applications that drive smarter, data-led decision making.

Working closely with colleagues across Children’s Services and the wider Council, you’ll play a leading role in designing, developing, and maintaining systems that transform raw data into meaningful insights. Reporting to the Head of Data and Systems, you’ll lead technical solution development across the team while ensuring continuity of critical operational systems.

What you’ll do:

Build and maintain data systems, pipelines and architectures to support data extraction, transformation and analysis.
Ensure continuity, performance and optimisation of key operational databases and business applications.
Analyse complex datasets to identify trends, improve data quality, and support data-driven decision making.
Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver effective, scalable technical solutions.
Drive process improvement and innovation through the adoption of new technologies, including Microsoft Azure.
Provide technical leadership, mentoring and clear communication to bridge technical and non-technical audiences.

What we’re looking for:

Proven experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar technical role.
Experience working with Azure technologies such as Data Lake and Data Factory.
Proficiency in programming and data tools (e.g. SQL Server, Python, R, HTML, Java).
Solid understanding of data modelling, system design, and integration techniques.
Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to analyse complex data and deliver practical solutions.
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a proactive, innovative approach to driving change.

Take a look at our Candidate Pack for more information about the Data Engineer role, team and our values. The section ‘About you’ explains what specific knowledge, skills and experience we want you to tell us about. Make sure you explain how you meet these requirements and demonstrate our values, in your application.

Why join us?

Play a key role in transforming services that make a real difference to children and families across Hampshire.
Contribute to meaningful, data-driven change within a large and respected public sector organisation.
Work with modern technologies, including Microsoft Azure and the O365 platform, to deliver impactful digital solutions.
Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that values innovation and continuous improvement.
Benefit from a flexible hybrid working model, combining home and office-based working.
Access to Health Assured's comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 telephone support, a suite of online resources, and legal and financial advice.
A competitive benefits package that includes generous annual leave entitlement, occupational sick pay, and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme. Find more information here.

Applicants can expect to hear from us within two weeks of the advertised closing date.

Please note: We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role and therefore it is essential that you already have the right to work in the UK before applying.
