Published: 10.03.25 Ref: BBBH50926_1741603265

A global Organisation that operate in the Energy space are looking for a Data Architect to join their hybrid team in Aberdeen (4 days onsite per week - with some flexibility).

They've been running successfully now for over 20 years, in a booming and ever-evolving industry, they're considered as global leaders in the delivery of offshore projects and services. Some of their main activities include installation and construction, offshore renewables, decommissioning and engineering, amongst others.

You'll be joining a tightknit squad of five based out of Aberdeen that look after a business critical platform that allows the business to make informed decision based on their data - it's cloud based (Azure) and something they're continuously looking to upgrade and expand.

In addition to this, the organisation has a healthy pipeline of interesting projects lined up, so there will be lots to keep you occupied. One of these involves helping the business to cut down on their carbon footprint as they'll look to be become more sustainable - the project is still within it's infancy, so there is still lots of scope to shape this product. Additionally, the organisation are committing to staying up to date with modern tech and have experimented with GenAI and Machine Learning (ML) - so this is an ideal opportunity to gain experience with these or further your existing knowledge.

You'll ideally have commercial experience with most of the following;
** SQL
** Programming experience (ideally with Python, but open to Java)
** Cloud Services (ideally Azure)
** Data Warehouse
** Exposure to Azure Databricks or Spark experience is advantageous

This role would suit an experienced Data Architect looking to join a high-performing team, at a really stable organisation that are continuously growing. In addition to a busy pipeline of projects, the organisation are very big believers in personal development and career growth - so you'll have lots of opportunities to learn new skills, gain accreditations and even pick up additional responsibilities if required.

Their offices are based just outside of Aberdeen, with good transport links and onsite parking. They do support hybrid working and you'll be expected onsite roughly four days per week - so are ideally looking for someone already local (however there may be flexibility on this).

They're able to offer a competitive salary for this role (happy to discuss prior to application), with a good benefits package to match - not to mention lots of opportunities for personal development and career growth.

If you match most of the criteria and are keen to learn more please apply or contact Matthew MacAlpine at Cathcart Technology.

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

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

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

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

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

Software Developer – Northampton

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

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

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

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

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
