Description
Are you looking for a pivotal role, where you can leverage your extensive experience in data engineering and architecture to design and implement robust data solutions that drive business insights and decision-making?
We are looking for a Principal Data Engineer to lead a growing team and to own and help deliver our Digital and Data strategy. Your leadership will be instrumental in setting technical direction and mentoring engineers to optimize our data pipelines and infrastructure. You will collaboratively develop and maintain data models, architecture, and integration strategies so that the organisation can use its data well and safely. You are equally as comfortable in your expert role, designing and delivering solutions, as you are engaging with business owners and teasing out their user needs, building relationships with other DDaT professions and coaching less experienced data engineers.
You’ll be leading the work to design and populate the data architecture for our local cloud environment, ensuring that our future data services can be secure and scalable. You’ll also take a lead role in delivering our analytical data into the NHS National Data Analytics Platform.
By building robust data platforms, pipelines, and catalogues and by defining the metadata, models and schema that underpin our data decision-making, you’ll be right at the heart of modernising and improving the way we do things.
You’ll be working collaboratively with other senior leaders, business stakeholders and a variety of digital, data and technology professionals so that we can modernise, unify and automate our data processes across the organisation.
We are Public Health Wales – the national public health agency in Wales. Our purpose is ‘Working together for a healthier Wales'. We exist to help everyone in Wales live longer, healthier, happier lives. Together with our partners, we work to increase healthy life expectancy, improve health and well-being, and reduce inequalities for everyone in Wales, now and for future generations.
Our teams work to prevent disease, protect health, and provide leadership, specialist services and public health expertise. We are the leading source of public health information, research and innovation in Wales. In a world facing complex health challenges, our work has never been so important.
We are guided by our Values, 'Working together, with trust and respect, to make a difference'. We are committed to building an inclusive workplace that values equality and diversity. We welcome applications which represent the rich diversity of the communities we serve and are supportive of flexible working arrangements, including part time roles and job sharing.
