Description
Data Engineer
Fareham
£35,000 to £45,000
3 days a week in the Fareham office
Want to move into Data Engineering properly, not just hover around the edges of it?
This role is deliberately open to more than one type of person.
You might be a graduate with a Data Engineering, Data Analytics or similar degree and the right technical base.
You might be a Data Analyst who has already started doing the engineering side of the job and wants that to become your actual career.
Or you might already be a Data Engineer and just want a better place to keep progressing.
Whichever route you come from, the key thing is simple. You’ll need Python, PySpark and SQL.
Your new role..
You’ll be joining a business where data genuinely matters.
Not in the vague “we’re data-driven” way that loads of companies talk about. In the real sense that better data helps shape commercial decisions, strategy and outcomes.
The big pull here is the progression.
You’ll work closely with senior Data Engineers, so this is not one of those roles where you are left to figure everything out on your own. You’ll get the chance to shadow, learn, ask questions, improve your engineering standards, and build proper experience in a setting where Data Engineering is already valued.
You’ll be working with Python, PySpark and SQL on the kinds of problems that help you grow into a stronger all-round engineer. So if you want a role that helps you move forwards, rather than one that keeps you doing the same level of work for the next two years, this should be worth a look.
The organisation..
You’d be joining a growing Hampshire-based financial services business in a regulated environment where data and analytics already play an important role.
Publicly,they talk about a data-led approach, ongoing investment in analytics capability, senior data leadership in place, and strong growth over the last ten years.
That matters because you’re not joining to “sell the idea” of data engineering internally.
You’re joining a business that already gets it.
What you’ll bring..
There is some flexibility on background, which is refreshing.
You could be early in your career.
You could be moving across from Data Analysis.
You could already be in Data Engineering.
But this won’t be the right fit if you don’t already have Python, PySpark and SQL.
It’ll also suit you more if you like learning from others, want to be around a team a few days a week, and see office time as a chance to develop faster, not just commute for the sake of it.
Why this role could be a smart move..
Plenty of junior data roles keep people stuck in reporting.
Plenty of analyst roles promise an “engineering pathway” that never really turns up.
This one gives you a genuine chance to build Data Engineering capability with support from someone senior, inside a business that is already investing in data.
That’s a pretty good place to build from.
