Data Migration Specialist

Location: Sheffield, UK (Hybrid/Onsite)

Contract Duration: 6 Months

Start Date: Immediate

Are you a senior Data Migration Specialist with deep expertise in Azure data engineering and enterprise-scale transformations? We are looking for a hands-on technical lead to drive a critical, end-to-end data migration project for a key initiative in Sheffield.

The Role

In this hands-on 6-month contract, you will own the end-to-end data migration lifecycle-from initial discovery, inventory, and data mapping to complex transformation, execution, and final reconciliation. You will navigate complex data models, metadata, and large-scale relational structures, ensuring clean, fully validated, and seamless migration to modern cloud environments.

Essential Criteria

8-10+ years of dedicated experience delivering complex enterprise data migration and data engineering projects.
Mastery of SQL (complex joins, performance tuning, advanced analytical queries, and reconciliation).
Strong Azure Cloud Stack Experience:
Azure Data Factory (ADF)
Azure SQL DB
Azure Data Lake / Lakehouse architectures
Python for data manipulation & automation
Proven experience across all migration phases: Strategy, Discovery, Cleansing, Mapping, Execution, and Post-migration Validation.
Hands-on proficiency with Azure DevOps, Git, and modern CI/CD deployment practices.
Deep understanding of data modeling, metadata management, and data lineage.

Desirable Experience

Experience migrating legacy systems into Azure or Microsoft Fabric.
Prior background in Financial Services working on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems.
Familiarity with data governance frameworks in regulated, high-compliance environments.
Relevant Microsoft Azure or Microsoft Fabric certifications.
