Data Engineer
Area: Cape Town North
Type: Permanent – Onsite
Salary: R40,000 – R60,000 per month
We’re looking for a Data Engineer who can do more than just move data around.
This is about shaping the backbone of reporting and analytics – from Finance to Operations – so that decision-making is powered by reliable, well-structured information.
If you know how to build bulletproof pipelines, model data for clarity, and keep systems talking to each other without missing a beat, you’ll fit right in.
What we’re looking for
- 3–6 years’ experience in a Data Engineering role.
- Strong SQL and database expertise (MS SQL Server, MS Fabric Onelake).
- Experience with ETL/ELT tools (SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, MS Fabric).
- Skilled in data modelling and system integration (REST APIs, direct DB access, file processing).
- Understanding of Power BI data modelling (Power Query, DAX).
- Experience with both operational and financial data is a plus.
- Exposure to logistics or asset-heavy industries is advantageous.
- Governance or master data management experience is a bonus.
What you’ll be doing
- Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines.
- Automate data ingestion from multiple sources – APIs, databases, flat files.
- Develop and maintain both relational and dimensional data models.
- Standardise measures and business logic across Finance and Operations.
- Support Finance BI (financial performance, profitability) and Operational BI (transport, warehouse, maintenance KPIs).
- Maintain a single source of truth for shared metrics and dimensions.
- Integrate with ERP, TMS, LMS, and finance systems.
- Enforce governance standards and maintain a centralised data catalogue.
- Own pipeline stability and ensure data availability without downtime.
Why you’ll love it here
This role sits at the centre of Finance and Operational BI, giving you visibility and influence across the business. Your work will directly shape how leaders see performance, spot opportunities, and make decisions.
If you’re someone who likes being trusted with ownership, thrives on solving complex data puzzles, and wants to see your work make a real impact, we’d like to meet you.
