  • Help translate business requirements (provided by the BI Business Analyst) into clean, well-organized data structures, with guidance from senior engineers.
  • Write SQL queries and basic Python scripts to transform and clean data, learning best practices along the way.
  • Document tables, transformations, and pipelines clearly so the team can rely on your work.

Support Pipeline Development

  • Contribute to data pipelines that bring information from source systems (such as ERP and other business platforms) into our Fabric environment.
  • Help schedule and monitor pipelines, learning how to identify and troubleshoot common failures.
  • Suggest small improvements to reduce manual work and improve data quality.

Build Reporting Skills

  • Work with the team to maintain semantic models and datasets used by Power BI report developers.
  • Practice writing DAX measures and calculated columns under the guidance of senior team members.
  • Learn data modeling fundamentals such as star schema design and the medallion architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold layers).

Collaborate and Grow

  • Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and design discussions - your questions are welcome.
  • Communicate progress, blockers, and questions clearly to teammates and stakeholders.
  • Take advantage of training, certifications, and mentorship to expand your skills over time.

Skills We're Looking For
