2 x Senior BI / Data Engineer - Daily rate contract

About the Role

Talent Insights is partnering with a Sydney-based enterprise as they build out their analytics function and push towards self-serve reporting.

We're looking for someone who can sit with a stakeholder, translate what they actually need, build the underlying data model and ETL pipeline, validate the data is fit for purpose, then bring it to life in a dashboard. One person owning data through to story, not a hand-off between a data person and a viz person.

Key Responsibilities
Partner directly with stakeholders to gather requirements and shape them into a data and visualisation solution
Hands on with Databricks. Practical experience in pipeline monitoring, optimisation, and troubleshooting.
Design and build ETL pipelines and data models across multiple source systems
Build star schema and medallion architecture models to support self-serve reporting
Validate and quality-check data before it reaches a dashboard
Build Power BI/Tableau dashboards that clearly tell the story behind the data




Write and optimise SQL, DAX and Power Query for performance at scale
Work autonomously, owning problems end-to-end rather than waiting for direction

Skills & Experience: Must haves
Solid hands-on ETL and data modelling experience
Deep, demonstrable Power BI development experience
Solid SQL and DAX skills
Hands-on Databricks experience -
Hands on with Databricks. Experience in pipeline monitoring, optimisation, and troubleshooting.

Nice to have
Python experience nice to have, not essential
A genuine passion for turning data into a transparent, compelling story, not just building charts
Prior experience blending data engineering/modelling work with visualisation delivery, rather than working purely on one side of that line.
