About the role

Why you would like it:

  • Dedicated ownership of Microsoft Fabric
  • Broad role across engineering, BI and governance
  • Visible impact on real business decisions 

The Opportunity:

This is a hands-on Data Engineer role with genuine ownership of a modern Microsoft Fabric environment. You’ll be the internal specialist shaping how data is structured, governed and used across the organisation.

The focus is practical and high-impact: migrating existing reporting into Fabric, improving data quality, building reliable pipelines, and helping business teams access insights they can trust.

It’s a good fit for someone who likes autonomy, enjoys translating complexity into plain language, and wants to build data capability that lasts.


Company Profile:

You’ll join a well-established New Zealand organisation operating in a complex, asset-intensive environment where accurate data supports day-to-day operations and long-term planning.

The technology team is collaborative, pragmatic and broad in its remit. Data is becoming increasingly important, with investment in Microsoft Fabric creating a stronger foundation for reporting, analytics and decision-making across the business.


The Role: 
  • Own and improve the Microsoft Fabric platform
  • Build ingestion pipelines using Python, SQL and CI/CD tooling
  • Support medallion architecture, metadata-driven frameworks and database mirroring
  • Develop and secure Power BI reports, semantic models and DAX measures
  • Manage Power BI workspaces, deployment pipelines and row-level security
  • Coordinate the migration of existing reporting into Fabric
  • Partner with business users to turn reporting needs into scalable data solutions
  • Champion data quality, governance and continuous improvement 

Your Fit:
  • 5+ years’ experience across Microsoft data warehousing and reporting tools
  • Strong Power BI skills, including semantic modelling, DAX and security
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, SQL and Python or similar
  • Understanding of CI/CD, data pipelines and modern data platform patterns
  • Experience integrating data via APIs, mirroring or core business systems
  • Able to work independently and make sound technical decisions
  • Confident communicator with technical and non-technical stakeholders
