***Please note that the salary is dependant on skills and experience.***
 
Ever wondered what it’s like working behind the scenes for one of the UK’s largest Police Forces? Here at Northumbria Police, we are extremely excited to be able to offer an amazing opportunity to come and join us, in our Digital Policing team. Playing a key role in maintaining and improving the quality of policing services is technology. Information and communication systems are deployed and in use across the Force to help ensure that accurate and reliable information is made available to those who need it, when they need it and where they need it.
 
Agile working patterns apply to this position where informal agile working arrangements will be available as agreed with the vacancy manager and in line with the requirements of the role.
 
What do I need?
  • A degree, HND or equivalent qualification, and/or have significant relevant experience
  • Proficient communication skills to bridge the gap between technical and business language to ensure shared understanding and effective solution delivery
  • Proven data analysis and delivery experience in data integration including in a data warehouse environment and an expert in SQL while using ETL technology (e.g. SSIS, T-SQL, ODI and PL/SQL)
  • Proven experience of relational and dimensional design and modelling
  • Strong experience of handling multiple data types beyond traditional RDMS, CDC and file types with knowledge and experience of at least some areas of NoSQL, JSON, API, Python, Cloud and data lake data integration
  • Knowledge of data interoperability and Integration frameworks and best practice
  • Extensive experience in managing various data software packages
The Role:
 
As a Data Engineer, you will not only provide effective updated data solutions but will equally understand the impact of a data failure to the business and support the user through the experience to its resolution.
 
You will work with end users, Technology Partners and Enterprise Architects alike to fully understand the challenges faced by the business and appreciate Force data requirements with a view to crafting innovative and effective solutions to meet those challenges.  Alongside existing system support you will enable and deliver a new data platform which requires proven experience of replication/change data capture and delivery of orchestrated solutions from source to data warehouse. 
 
We are on the lookout for solutions to be simple to operate, easy to fix and hard to break given that data and information is critical to the Policing service. You will be able to provide input to the data strategy with a keen interest in future innovation seeking the opportunity to work with and support Business Intelligence and Data Science areas.
 
What will I be doing?
 
You will be responsible for the design and implementation of data solutions that meet standards and embedding reusable metadata and maintaining support processes while delivering data solutions that support Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) processes.
 
You will also ensure data integrity and quality through effective testing of your data solutions and through the affective use of policy and procedure, standards, frameworks and tools.
 
You will work with end users and affiliated stakeholders to understand the challenges that are being experienced to ensure any solution or fix delivered contributes to an efficient and effective policing service.
