Senior Data Engineer – SQL Server | Data Warehouse | Power BI

- Salary Package: $185,000 - $195,000
- Melbourne
- Office in Kew, with 2 days working from home

We are partnering with an established healthcare provider to recruit an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join their Melbourne-based technology team.

This is a hands-on senior role for someone who is genuinely robust across Microsoft SQL Server, database administration and development, enterprise data warehousing, ETL/SSIS and Power BI.

You'll take ownership across the existing data environment while also playing an important role in its future modernisation, including a planned SQL Server 2019 to SQL Server 2025 upgrade and the evaluation and phased adoption of Microsoft Fabric.

What you'll be doing

- Administer, maintain, secure and optimise Microsoft SQL Server environments
- Develop and optimise complex SQL, stored procedures, functions, views and database objects
- Design and maintain enterprise data warehouse solutions and dimensional data models
- Build and support ETL/ELT pipelines , including advanced SSIS development
- Develop and optimise Power BI semantic models, datasets, reports and dashboards
- Support integrations across APIs, XML/JSON and business systems
- Troubleshoot complex database, data warehouse and reporting issues
- Support SQL Server upgrades, migrations and broader data-platform modernisation
- Apply strong data security, privacy, governance and quality practices





The role covers the full data lifecycle rather than being purely a reporting or BI position.

What we’re looking for

You will ideally have 5+ years' experience as a Senior Data Engineer, Database Administrator, Data Warehouse Developer or in a similar hands-on role, with:

- Expert Microsoft SQL Server administration
- Advanced SQL development, query tuning, indexing and performance optimisation
- Strong enterprise Data Warehouse experience
- Advanced SSIS / ETL / ELT experience
- Experience supporting business-critical production environments
- Experience with major SQL Server upgrades or migrations
- Practical experience with PowerShell and XML/API-based integrations
- Strong troubleshooting, documentation and stakeholder communication skills

Exposure to Microsoft Fabric , Azure data technologies or broader Microsoft data-platform modernisation will be highly regarded.

Experience within healthcare, private health insurance, hospitals or health data would be a strong advantage, but is not essential . Candidates coming from other complex, highly regulated or data-intensive environments are encouraged to apply.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is an opportunity to step into a genuinely senior, hands-on position where you can influence the organisation's data environment rather than simply maintain one component of it. You'll work across SQL Server, Data Warehouse, integration and Power BI , while contributing to a significant technology modernisation roadmap.
