About the role
Join a high-profile Queensland Government digital transformation delivering a new, cloud-based approvals platform.
This Data Engineer contract will suit someone who thrives in complex programs—where data foundations, migration readiness, and governance matter.
Key Responsibilities
Build and optimise scalable Azure-based data pipelines (lakehouse-style patterns where appropriate)
Engineer robust solutions for migration and integration across large/complex datasets
Partner with delivery teams to uplift data quality, reliability, and performance using strong SQL
Highly desirable criteria
Proven experience supporting a platform replacement program—ideally involving Appian and/or Dynamics 365 (e.g., migrating workflows/process-led platforms and ensuring data alignment, cutover readiness, and reporting continuity)
Demonstrated success in large-scale migration initiatives where there's pressure on auditability, traceability, and data integrity (government/regulated environments highly regarded)




Desirable criteria
Hands-on exposure to Microsoft Fabric (e.g., Lakehouse/Warehouse, Data Factory in Fabric, pipelines) and an understanding of when to use it vs Databricks/Azure-native services
Strong appreciation for data governance and discovery using tools such as Microsoft Purview (cataloguing, lineage, access controls)
Experience designing data solutions with security and compliance front of mind (role-based access, sensitive data handling, documentation discipline)
Familiarity with cutover planning and supporting release cycles (UAT support, defect triage, reconciliation checks, post-go-live stabilisation)
Skills and experience
Azure + Data Lake + Databricks, plus solid SQL engineering capability
Track record delivering within complex programs with clear communication and stakeholder engagement
