Our client based in Edmonton is seeking a hands-on Data Engineer for a 3-month contract to support a reporting modernization initiative. This role will focus on supporting complex reporting requirements across multiple programs and business units while developing a more scalable and centralized reporting environment.

The successful candidate will initially take ownership of existing monthly reporting processes, gain an understanding of the current reporting environment, and support knowledge transfer activities as needed.

Working closely with leadership, this person will help establish a centralized reporting framework across multiple SQL-based systems, design and implement integrations between platforms, improve data accessibility and governance, and support the development of Power BI reporting solutions.

• Consolidate data from multiple SQL Server databases and develop scalable data models to support reporting and analytics.
• Design, develop, and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions for business stakeholders.
• Streamline and automate manual reporting processes to improve efficiency, consistency, and accuracy.
• Partner with business leaders to gather requirements and translate business needs into practical reporting and data solutions.
• Improve data quality, governance, accessibility, and reporting documentation.
• Document data flows, reporting processes, and system architecture to support long-term sustainability.
• Provide recommendations and a roadmap for future-state reporting, data management, and analytics capabilities.
