A leading Scottish founded organisation where IT is at the heart of the business are looking for a Business Intelligence Analyst (ideally with Power Apps/Power Platform experience) to join their Glasgow team (onsite).

We've worked with this organisation for several years now and have helped a number of their current IT team join and heard great things first hand, they've got a great culture and offer opportunities for progression.

The role:

This is a varied role that will sit across both business intelligence and Power Platform development. You'll be responsible for building reporting solutions in Power BI and SSRS, as well as developing Power Apps and Power Automate solutions to improve business processes.

The organisation works across a number of different systems and, don't have a single ERP platform bringing everything together. You'll therefore work with data from multiple sources and centralised databases, helping to turn that information into useful reporting and solutions for the wider business.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across different departments to understand their requirements, translate these into technical solutions, and deliver dashboards, reports and applications that provide genuine business value.

You'll be joining a small tight-knit team of four, which will give you plenty of exposure across the wider technology function, and even opportunities to pick up ownership on certain projects / tasks.

You'll ideally have experience (or an understanding) of most of the following:

** Developing and deploying BI or reporting solutions

** Power BI

** SQL skills and working with data models

** Gathering requirements directly from business stakeholders

** Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences

** Developing Power Apps and Power Automate solutions

The Offer:

Their offices are based in North Lanarkshire, where they have parking available onsite. This role is a fully onsite position, so you'd be expected at their offices five days per week - so they're ideally looking for candidates that are based fairly local. In return, they are able to offer a salary of £35k -£40k, on top of their benefits package.

This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious BI Developer or Power Platform Developer who is looking to take the next step in their career. You'll have the chance to work across both reporting and application development, gaining exposure to a wide range of technologies, projects and areas of the business. It's a role where you'll be given genuine responsibility and ownership from the outset, with the opportunity to get involved in projects end-to-end rather than being limited to one area.

If you're interested and want to know more then please apply or contact Matt MacAlpine at Cathcart Technology.

Our clients

Candidates

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow
