We are a data driven force and rely on data and analytics to provide valuable insights when delivering operational policing.

As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for developing solutions using the data obtained from operational systems and transactional databases force wide. With expert-level data modelling skills, you will design and develop data architecture to ensure each department has easily accessible information, when they need it.

Innovation is at the core of what we do, so your strong problem-solving skills will be key as you design and re-engineer streams with analytic tools to solve complex data problems. You’ll have a real ingenuity, to not only create and maintain the pipeline solutions and database-centric architecture, but to optimise these platforms and make innovative suggestions for streamlining and improving data quality.

You’ll already be proficient with various coding tools and languages, and will write processes that are fit for purpose. With your experience of developing data driven solutions using cloud technologies, a strong knowledge of utilising and identifying appropriate data architectures, you will also be optimising databases through indexing and performance tuning.

We invest in our team and throughout your career we will provide training and development opportunities, with industry specific qualification such as ITIL and Microsoft Certified Azure Data Engineer Associate course.

We want our staff to feel valued and rewarded, which is why we offer a generous rewards and benefit scheme with competitive government workplace pensions, free onsite parking and extensive discounts at a range of businesses including access to the Blue Light Card and our ‘Boost’ employee benefits scheme.

We also appreciate the importance of work life balance and welfare, which is why we implement flexible and agile working practises, including flexi-time and remote working, and this role comes with a minimum of 27 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays) increasing after 5 years’ service.
