Job Description

Full time

Derby

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Data Dashboard Engineer to join our Service Data Centre. The Rolls-Royce Submarines business is faced with once in a generation opportunities for business growth. Alongside this we need to continue to support our customer, the Royal Navy, to keep the existing fleet of submarines safe and available for operation.

To achieve these goals the business is increasingly reliant on high quality data, therefore we must continue to protect our critical data and to build a digitally enabled business that makes fast and assured decisions based on data. The Data Dashboard Engineer role will join the Service Data Centre to help drive value from data across the Submarines business. You will work with colleagues to understand business problems and needs, implement analysis solutions and visualisation outcomes that support improved decision making for the users. You will understand how to apply technologies such as Cognos and PowerBI to solve data problems and to develop innovative dashboards and data tools, providing meaningful insight to our critical products, enabling us to support the in-service submarine fleet more effectively.

What you will be doing

Within this role you will be helping to enable a data driven culture through the delivery of high quality dashboard and reporting using tools such as Cognos and PowerBI.

1. Provide knowledge to the business to help articulate the benefits of data reports and dashboards
2. Help to deconstruct and understand existing reporting requirements

4. Understand how to analyse, cleanse, join and transform data to enable users to reliably deliver value from data sources.
5. Plan, design, document and conduct tests of the implementations, correcting errors and re-testing to achieve an acceptable result

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

To be successful in this role you will need:

1. Degree level education in Mathematics, Scientific, Computing or Engineering discipline or equivalent experience
2. Expertise knowledge and understanding of PowerBI, IBM Cognos Analytics suite, Cognos Framework Manager, Reporting and Dashboard capability.
