Lead the Future of Data | Lead Data Engineer | Bristol (Hybrid) | Remote Considered

£85,000 – £90,000 +10% Bonus | Hybrid/Remote

Are you an experienced Data Engineer ready to step into a strategic, hands-on leadership role? We're working with a purpose-driven organisation that’s reshaping how data supports environmental and regulatory innovation — and they need a Data Engineering Lead to help deliver their next-generation data platform.

This is a chance to join a tech-forward, impact-led business based in the heart of Bristol. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering a brand-new cloud-native data platform — the backbone of digital tools that serve major UK brands and internal teams alike.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead the design and build of secure, scalable data pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Snowflake, and DBT
• Collaborate across Product, BI, Cloud, and IT to deliver data solutions that power real-world impact
• Optimise performance, enforce governance, and ensure seamless integration of APIs, external systems, and databases
• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, Git, and modern data practices
• Translate complex data into intuitive dashboards and tools with Power BI
• Be hands-on in everything from modelling and scripting to permissions and performance tuning

What we’re looking for:

• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, with deep technical expertise across SQL, Snowflake, Azure, DBT, and Power BI
• Strong Python skills and experience integrating third-party systems via APIs
• A confident communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical teams
• Proven ability to deliver efficient, scalable solutions in fast-paced, regulated environments
• Someone who values diligence, accountability, and proactivity as much as technical excellence

Why join?

• A rare blend of purpose, scale, and flexibility
• £85,000 – £90,000 salary + up to 10% bonus
• 28 days holiday + bank holidays
• 7% employer pension, 5x salary life insurance, health cash plan, critical illness cover
• Flexible, hybrid working + £250 home working setup
• Volunteer days, workcations, and a positive, impact-driven culture

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape both technology and purpose. If you're excited by meaningful data work and want to be part of something bigger, we’d love to hear from you.

If you are interested, but don’t think you tick all the boxes, we are still keen to hear from you. Please apply directly to this advert, or reach out to Adam Townsend:
