Microsoft Fabric BI Developer – Contract

Guildford, Surrey. Full-time, inside IR35.

Standard 8 is working with a regulated, engineering-led business looking for someone to take full ownership of its data platform and reporting. This is a genuinely hands-on role, sitting across engineering, modelling and reporting, focused on building something robust rather than just surface-level dashboards.

You’ll own Microsoft Fabric end-to-end across Warehouse and Lakehouse, build and manage pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Fabric, and ensure clean, reliable data flows from core systems including SAP. Alongside this, you’ll set standards around storage, performance and governance, while running the reporting environment properly across workspaces, deployments and capacity.

On the reporting side, you’ll design strong Power BI semantic models, deliver dashboards and reports people actually use, and create structured “golden datasets” to support self-service without chaos. You’ll also handle security properly, including RLS and OLS, ensuring everything meets regulatory standards such as GDPR, PCI and ITAR.

They’re looking for someone with solid hands-on experience in Microsoft Fabric, strong data pipeline delivery, and deep Power BI knowledge across modelling, DAX and performance. Experience working with ERP or financial data is important, given the complexity and scrutiny involved.

This suits a proper data engineer who understands reporting, comfortable owning a platform and pushing back when needed, bringing structure and standards into an environment that needs it.

SAP Datasphere, PowerShell or R experience would be useful but not essential. Degree is optional, Power BI certification a bonus, and SC clearance eligibility is required

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

This article highlights new and high-growth data science employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK startups, scale-ups, and global firms expanding their data science operations locally. All of the companies included have recently raised investment, won high-profile contracts, or significantly scaled their analytics teams.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
