Blackpool Council is expanding its data and intelligence capabilities and is looking for two talented Data Engineers to help shape our future direction. You will help design, develop and maintain data systems, pipelines, and business intelligence solutions to support decision‑making across the Council and wider partnerships, working on high‑impact projects that directly benefit service delivery to individuals and communities.

The role will provide data engineering functions for an innovative, multi‑agency project, funded by the Youth Futures Foundation (YFF) Connected Futures Fund, aimed at reducing high levels of youth unemployment in Blackpool and improving how young people are supported to progress into Education, Training and Employment.

You’ll need a degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant field, strong expertise in SQL, data modelling, ETL and use of data visualisation tools and have experience leading projects which improve the availability and quality of data, ideally in a multi‑agency environment.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to provide visa sponsorship, so you must already have the right to work in the UK to apply.

The role will support data engineering functions, initially for Adult Services and Children’s Services, working closely with customers and business intelligence colleagues.

You’ll need a level 5 qualification (or equivalent experience) in a relevant field, excellent technical skills and experience of developing and documenting data systems, flows and business intelligence products.

Appointment at a Senior Data Engineer (H3) grade would be considered for an exceptional candidate with the required skills and experience.

The posts offer hybrid working arrangements, working partly from home and partly in the office. Successful candidates will require a flexible approach to these working arrangements.

Interviews for shortlisted candidates will take place in Blackpool at 1 Bickerstaffe Square.

This post requires access to PSN (Public Services Network) services or networks and the successful post holder will be required to undertake a Basic Disclosure check of unspent convictions through Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS). This post is also subject to satisfactory references, medical clearance, evidence of any essential qualifications and proof of legal working in accordance with the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996.
