• Experience with automated testing, data quality, monitoring, Git and CI/CD practices.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and the ability to explain complex data concepts clearly.
• Experience with project‑based industries such as construction, engineering, utilities or infrastructure will be highly regarded.

If you enjoy solving complex data problems, working closely with stakeholders and building reliable solutions that create lasting business value, we would like to hear from you.
