Data Engineering 

Data Engineers will build suitable systems or suites to modify or optimise data insights and analytics. Responsibilities may include building an on-prem Datawarehouse, or streaming data pipelines. Following project work, they will conduct maintenance, improvements and perform tests on its performance.

The demand for Data Engineers has increased following data transformation projects and digitalisation. Organisations are furthering their use in cloud platforms, using Data Engineers to develop systems towards AWS or Azure platforms.

Data Engineers may also work with Data Integration Engineers to administer, test and modify computer databases.

Data Analytics

Data Analytics is the process of gathering and exploring performance insights for organisations to help them with effective decision making and defining business strategy. Data Analysts will create reporting, identify patterns or trends as well as use data modelling to interpret what the data is showing and suggest improvements.

Data Analyst skillsets are built around business intelligence, using data visualisation tools (such as Tableau, Excel and Power BI) and statistical analysis to interpret datasets.

Data Protection, Data Governance & Quality

Regulatory bodies enforce data protection policies to organisations, to ensure data is being used correctly and private data is protected, for the safety of employees, partners and customers. Data Governance will ensure organisations are compliant with these policies and that they are following suitable processes to collect, store, use and dispose data.

There will be key officers in organisations who will manage compliance and governance, including:

• Data Protection Officer

• GDPR Officer

They will use their expertise to implement procedures and provide suitable training across the business for awareness.
