I will work closely with analysts, developers, and stakeholders to align data engineering efforts with business goals and needs.
I will be integral in shaping how we deliver a trusted, single source of truth platform for the organization, building the foundations for self-service analytics and smarter, faster insights. Beyond my technical role, I will serve as a mentor and thought partner, fostering a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement. I will promote inclusive collaboration, encourage new ideas, and play a key part in advancing our data capabilities.
Description
I am part of Willmott Dixon, a company established in 1852, yet our Data & Analytics team in IT is just beginning its journey! Joining this new and evolving team offers a unique chance to shape our initiatives from the ground up. We are dedicated to embracing the latest technologies and methodologies, providing me with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact and grow my career in a supportive, forward-thinking environment. Our IT team prides itself on being flexible, fun, uncomplicated, genuine, friendly, innovative, and responsive to customer needs. We embrace diversity in the workplace and consider flexible and agile working arrangements. As a disability confident employer, we prioritize creating an inclusive atmosphere. In return for my contributions, I will receive a competitive benefits package that includes flexible benefits tailored to my lifestyle and priorities. This encompasses an enhanced pension scheme, full or heavily discounted private medical coverage, life assurance, an incentive bonus, and a car scheme that leads the market in sustainable company travel. Additionally, applicable roles will enjoy a motoring expenditure allowance (MEA), and I will have access to a new generation of low carbon and electric cars through the Willmott Dixon-run car leasing scheme.
