About The Role
Ecotricity, the UK’s first true green energy provider, has a strong internal team supporting and developing solutions across multiple mission critical platforms including Databricks on AWS, SQL, Power BI and other cloud centric data solutions. This technical hands-on role, of Data Engineer, will contribute to our delivery of projects, BAU, and helping Ecotricity become more efficient by leveraging our data.
In addition to the technologies above, we also use Python, APIs, and various ETL solutions interfacing with a small number of legacy systems.
Responsibilities

About the team

About You
You will have considerable technical experience and a passion for developing data solutions. Handling data in any format, data modelling and ETL processes will all come naturally to you. You will have a demonstrable technical skillset as engineering skills are paramount to this role. Knowledge of the Energy industry would be useful, but not necessary.
You will be comfortable working with project managers and product owners, keeping stakeholders and management continually informed, and presenting and demoing solutions. You will have good communication skills and can adjust to each type of audience.
We will actively support you, but as a potentially remote role you should be self motivated, delivery driven, and notneedto be led. You should strive for best practice and technical excellence and be a person that actively looks for continual improvement opportunities.

Flexibility statement
The fast moving nature of the company's business means that from time to time you may be asked to perform duties or tasks outside of your original job description on an ad hoc basis. This allows the company to use its people in the best possible way at all times and helps the employees to make their contribution in a changing environment.
Ecotricity is Britain's greenest energy company. When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity - the green kind.
Our mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain - by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.
We don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too - we build windmills, sun parks and green gasmills in Britain. We call this turning 'bills into mills'. Some of our biggest achievements to date include building Britain's first megawatt windmill and the country's first grid-scale sun park, as well as building our first green gasmill, generating 100% green gas from a source that we will never run out of grass.
We don't just focus on energy though- we built the Electric Highway, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points; we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world; and we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk, where they use the money from their customers' bills to protect and regenerate Britain's lost rainforests.
Ecotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all.
