Senior Data Engineer

About Zenith Row

Zenith Row has partnered with a high-growth technology consulting organisation to hire a Senior Data Engineer supporting multi-client data transformation engagements.

This is not a traditional engineering role.

You’ll operate as a client-facing consultant, helping organisations move from fragmented, unclear data landscapes → structured, usable, and governed analytics platforms.

You’ll work across the full lifecycle, from discovery and architecture through to delivery, often leveraging Microsoft Fabric and the Azure data stack.

The Role

This is a multi-client, consulting-led position, not a single long-term project.

You’ll work across discovery → design → implementation, owning both technical delivery and stakeholder engagement.

Client Delivery (Core)

• Lead discovery sessions to understand data sources, pipelines, dashboards, and decision workflows
• Identify data silos, quality issues, and gaps and define improved future-state architecture
• Build and deliver ETL/ELT pipelines and transformations
• Integrate data across on-prem and cloud environments
• Deliver analytics outputs (e.g. dashboards) aligned to business needs

Consulting & Communication

• Engage directly with technical teams and senior stakeholders (including exec level)
• Translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical solutions
• Produce client-ready outputs (architecture docs, data flows, implementation plans)

Internal Contribution

• Support effort estimation, project planning, and SOW inputs
• Optional involvement in Azure/Fabric community sessions or client-facing events

What We’re Looking For

Core Requirements

• 5+ years in Data Engineering (end-to-end delivery)
• Strong experience designing and delivering ETL/ELT pipelines
• Experience working with modern data platforms and adapting across tools
• Proven ability to operate in client-facing environments
• Strong written communication, able to deliver client-ready documentation

Preferred Experience

• Microsoft Fabric
• Databricks (highly transferable)

Nice to Have

• CI/CD and automation
