Senior Consultant – Data Engineer

About the Position

Senior Consultant – Data Engineer | Melbourne

Melbourne, Victoria

Build modern data solutions and take greater ownership of client delivery.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who combines strong technical foundations with the confidence to work directly with clients and help turn complex requirements into practical, scalable solutions.

This is a hands-on consulting role for someone who wants to stay close to the technology while taking greater ownership across delivery, client engagement, and solution design. You’ll work across modern data and analytics projects, contribute throughout the full delivery lifecycle, and build experience across a range of platforms, industries, and client environments.

If you’re ready to broaden your technical exposure, strengthen your consulting capability, and have more influence over how solutions are shaped and delivered, this could be a great next step.

Responsibilities

You’ll work alongside clients and Altis teams to understand business challenges, shape the right technical approach, and deliver high-quality data and analytics solutions.

You’ll:

• Deliver Data & Analytics solutions from discovery and requirements through to implementation and support
• Work directly with clients to understand business needs and translate them into practical technical solutions
• Contribute to workshops, solution design sessions, and technical reviews
• Design and build data pipelines, data models, database structures, and data stores
• Integrate and analyze data from multiple sources to support reporting, analytics, and decision-making
• Develop reports, dashboards, visualizations, and actionable insights
• Apply strong SQL, data modeling, and engineering practices across client projects
• Support testing, deployment, User Acceptance Testing, and post-production activities
• Contribute to project planning, estimation, and delivery scheduling
• Take ownership of your work while supporting and sharing knowledge with others
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Help clients successfully adopt the solutions we deliver through training and knowledge transfer

Requirements

We’re looking for someone with strong Data & Analytics foundations, hands-on delivery experience, and the confidence to contribute meaningfully in a client environment.

Your experience may include:

• Data & Analytics solution delivery
• Strong SQL capability
• Data modeling and database design
• Data integration and modern ETL/ELT approaches
• Data pipeline development
• Experience with cloud technologies, such as Snowflake, Databricks, and/or Google Cloud
• Reporting, analytics, and visualization solutions
• Translating business requirements into technical solutions
• Working directly with clients or business stakeholders
• Testing, implementation, and production support

You don’t need to have worked with every technology we use. We’re more interested in strong technical foundations, sound judgment, and your ability to learn and adapt across different client environments.
