About the role

Data Engineer – Fixterm untill March 28

We're looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join a major enterprise transformation programme focused on modernising a core data platform. This is an opportunity to work on a high-profile initiative that will shape the future of a large and complex organisation, rebuilding legacy data pipelines and delivering a modern, scalable data environment.

About the Role:
As a Data Engineer, you'll play a key role in redesigning and rebuilding data pipelines, ensuring data quality, integrity, and reliability throughout a large-scale migration programme. Working alongside architects, engineers, and business stakeholders, you'll help deliver robust data solutions that support critical business outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design, build, test, and deploy modern data pipelines using engineering best practices.
  • Rebuild and optimise legacy data pipelines to support a new core platform.
  • Develop reconciliation processes to ensure data accuracy and completeness.
  • Collaborate with architects and cross-functional teams to deliver seamless data integration.
  • Create well-structured, scalable data models with clear data lineage.
  • Champion data governance, quality, and security practices.
  • Contribute to a modern cloud-based data architecture and continuously improve engineering standards.
What We're Looking For:
  • 5+ years' experience in Data Engineering or a similar role.
  • Strong Microsoft SQL Server and advanced T-SQL skills.
  • Experience building ETL solutions (SSIS highly desirable).
  • Exposure to modern data technologies such as Snowflake, dbt, and Python.
  • Solid understanding of data warehousing and dimensional modelling.
  • Experience working with APIs, XML, and JSON data sources.
  • Strong understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, version control (Git), and modern engineering practices.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
  • The ability to thrive in complex environments with evolving requirements.
Why You'll Love It:

This is an opportunity to work on one of the most significant transformation programmes in the organisation, alongside high-performing technical professionals solving complex data challenges. You'll have the chance to influence modern data architecture, improve enterprise data capability, and make a lasting impact while working in a collaborative and supportive environment.

  • Applicants must already have the legal right to work in New Zealand. Overseas applications requiring visa sponsorship cannot be considered.
  • Applications will be reviewed as they are received, so we encourage you to apply early.
