Role Overview

This is a proper modelling role – not just building reports. You will take ownership of an existing Power BI estate, optimise performance, and lead a full modernisation programme while supporting BAU.

You will review the semantic model end-to-end (DAX, performance, storage, security), improve scalability, and drive key upgrades across tooling, governance, and data sources (including Snowflake migration).

Essential Skills

  • Deep Power BI semantic modelling expertise (not just reporting)
  • Strong DAX, VertiPaq optimisation, and performance tuning
  • Experience with Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, SSMS (XMLA)
  • Power BI Enterprise Gateway setup and management
  • Git / CI/CD in Power BI or Fabric environments
  • Experience modernising / migrating existing BI estates
  • Strong understanding of dimensional modelling (Kimball)

Bonus Points

  • .pbip + Git-based workflows
  • RLS / OLS design
  • Snowflake integration
  • Microsoft Fabric
  • Composite models / aggregations

This is a solid contract opportunity for an Edinburgh based product company. You will be outside IR35 and working with a highly skilled and driven team.
