Birmingham or Northampton (Hybrid - 2 days onsite)
£50,000
Permanent - Full-time

About the Opportunity
SF Partners are partnering with a leading UK law firm to hire a Data Engineer with Microsoft Fabric experience to support a major data transformation programme.

The business is moving away from SAP BW and building a modern data platform on Microsoft Fabric, and this role will be central to that journey.

This is an opportunity to work hands-on with Fabric in a real enterprise environment — helping shape the platform, pipelines, and reporting layer from the ground up.

The Role
You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering data solutions within Microsoft Fabric, working closely with both technical teams and business stakeholders.

This role is ideal for someone who already has exposure to Fabric (or strong Azure experience with hands-on Fabric work) and wants to deepen their expertise in a high-impact environment.

Key Responsibilities
Design and build data pipelines within Microsoft Fabric (Data Pipelines, Dataflows, OneLake, Lakehouse)
Support the migration from SAP BW into a Fabric-based architecture
Develop and optimise ETL/ELT processes using Fabric and/or Azure Data Factory
Build and maintain scalable data models to support reporting and analytics
Contribute to a gold-standard reporting layer (Power BI semantic models)
Work with stakeholders across Finance, HR, and Commercial teams
Ensure strong data governance, security, and GDPR compliance
Document processes and support best practices across the data team

What We’re Looking For
Experience working with Microsoft Fabric
Strong SQL skills and experience working with large datasets
Experience building data pipelines and working with lakehouse architectures
Knowledge of Azure tools such as Data Factory and/or Fabric Data Pipelines
Experience with Python or PySpark for data transformation
Understanding of data modelling (dimensional modelling, medallion architecture)
Strong communication skills and ability to work with non-technical stakeholders

Desirable:
Experience migrating from legacy systems (e.g. SAP BW)
Exposure to SAP data (HANA, BW, SuccessFactors, etc.)
Experience with Power BI and semantic models

Why Apply?
Work on a high-profile Microsoft Fabric implementation
Play a key role in a large-scale data migration project
Gain hands-on experience with a modern data platform
Join a collaborative and forward-thinking team
Hybrid working and strong benefits package
