BI Developer

Glasgow | £35,000 - £45,000 | Permanent

Published: 14.05.25 Ref: BBBH51531_1747227340

A BI developer is required to join a global company based in Glasgow that is embarking on a digital transformation and entering a period of growth. This role will be crucial in helping to rebuild the companies reporting infrastructure, so it's a great opportunity to have a direct impact on a business critical project.

The company:

This is a well established company that's really picked up momentum lately, thanks to some big client wins and smart moves into new international markets (with more on the way!). With ambitious plans for the years ahead and major IT upgrades already underway, it's a great time to get involved. The company is focused on innovation, pushing boundaries, trying new things, and moving the industry forward. You'll have the chance to build new tools and influence how things are done from the ground up. Your work will genuinely have a tangible impact on the business.

The role:

Over the next 12 months, the business will be overhauling its entire reporting infrastructure, and you'll be right at the heart of it. From day one, you'll be working across the full BI pipeline to rebuild reporting architecture using SQL, SSRS, SSIS, and Power BI, design brand new ETL pipelines, and deliver meaningful business critical insights. It's a rare opportunity to help shape a modern data landscape from the ground up, not just maintain what's already there. You'll split your time evenly between infrastructure transformation projects and high priority BAU work. You'll be joining a tight knit team with two other experienced BI Developers and will work closely with key stakeholders across the business, giving you plenty of autonomy and responsibility.

You'll ideally have strong commercial experience with the following;

** SQL

** Power BI

** SSRS and SSIS

** Experience building ETL pipelines

The salary for this role is between £35k to £45k (DOE) including a range of company benefits. They support hybrid working at their Glasgow city centre office, (where you'll be expected onsite 3 days a week), it's conveniently located near public transport links, with onsite parking too.

It's genuinely a great time to join the business, as they're already well established in their sector, and are now beginning a digital transformation, and have ambitious plans. You'll play a key role in helping modernise many of their data processes and will be given real opportunities for growth and progression.

If this sounds like it could be a good opportunity for you then please apply or reach out to Matthew MacAlpine at Cathcart Technology.

Our clients

Candidates

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

Software Developer – Northampton

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

Data Scientist – Manchester

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

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

Software Engineer – Manchester

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
