Senior Data Engineer (ETL)

Canberra Onsite | PV Clearance Required | AU Citizenship | 12m + 12m Contract | $150 to $175 p/h | Closing: 16 June 2026

Not all data roles are created equal. This one puts you at the heart of a federal program where the pipelines you build move data from raw source to trusted insight used across an entire enterprise. Working within a Commonwealth client, you will design, develop and operationalise data engineering solutions in SQL and Python, build the tooling and standards that keep ETL approaches consistent, and play a key role in lifting the quality and usability of data for the business.

If you bring deep ETL and data warehousing experience and enjoy building on Enterprise Data Platforms that matter, this role is built for you.
