IT Principal Data Engineer

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

As this is a new role into the business, we’ll be looking for you to have strong previous experience in the data space, ideally in a IT Lead/Engineering leadership position. Technical leadership on major delivery programs is also essential, along with previous knowledge of data strategy and best practice, service and support, and application and delivery methodologies. You will need to be a true experienced thought-leader for data strategy and solutions.

We’ll also look for you to have an ability in identifying measures or indicators of performance and then be able to set the actions needed to improve or correct performance, relative to the goals of the system. General leadership and line management skills are also a key part of the role due to the direct management of the data engineering team.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
