This role offers a broad, hands-on remit across data engineering, reporting, automation, and platform improvement. It would suit someone who enjoys working across multiple technologies in a delivery-focused environment rather than operating solely at a strategic or architectural level.

  • Dynamics 365 CE & Customer Insights

  • Dataverse

  • Model-Driven Power Apps

  • Power Automate

  • Power Pages

  • Microsoft Fabric & Power BI

As part of a wider transition to a managed service provider, the successful candidate will help support migration activities while also driving interim improvements to data quality, analytics capability, integrations, and reporting structures.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assess current data structures and implement improvements

  • Support data governance, security, and compliance controls

  • Contribute to data cleansing, verification, and retention initiatives

  • Assist with API integrations and data connectivity across multiple platforms

  • Support MSSQL and MySQL/MariaDB environments

Reporting & Analytics
  • Upgrade and migrate Power BI reports into Fabric/PBIP formats

  • Develop reporting solutions that improve visibility of business metrics

  • Integrate and analyse additional data sources across the organisation

Automation & Platform Improvement
  • Develop and enhance Power Automate cloud flows

  • Improve underlying data structures to support enhanced analytics and future AI capability

  • Collaborate on practical platform enhancements across the Microsoft ecosystem

Project & Migration Support
  • Support ongoing platform migration activities

  • Assist with testing, documentation, and data verification

  • Work closely with internal stakeholders and external service providers

About You

We’re looking for someone with strong technical capability combined with a collaborative, adaptable approach.

Essential Experience

  • Strong experience across data platforms, modelling, transformation, and reporting

  • Advanced Power BI development skills

  • Solid understanding of SQL and database concepts

  • Experience integrating data via APIs, dataflows, and connectors

  • Experience improving and optimising data quality across multiple systems

  • Knowledge of data protection and cybersecurity best practices

It's highly desirable , you have Microsoft Fabric experience, Dynamics 365 CE exposure with wider Microsoft Power Platform experience , experience with Dynamics 365 Customer Insights and experience migrating or modernising reporting environments

If you’re a practical, hands-on data professional looking for a varied contract role within a modern Microsoft environment, we’d love to hear from you.

As this is an urgent requirement the client can only accept candidates within 1 week notice or immediately available. This contract is for 6 month - paying £320p/d inside IR35
