    Are you ready to kickstart your career as a data engineer with a pioneering, award-winning, global digital agency? DEPT® is looking for talented individuals to join its data team on a nine-month traineeship to help us solve our clients’ marketing, technology and business problems.

    This opportunity is open to anyone seeking to start their career in data engineering, and is perfect for someone who already has a little experience, whether self-taught, from a previous role, or an education course.

    What you'll do

    As a Trainee Data Engineer, we will teach you:

    • How to build complex data integrations.
    • How to collect raw data, build data models to transform it and run activation jobs to use your data into other platforms.
    • How to work with all the tools/code/platforms you need in your daily job, focusing on Airflow, DBT, SQL and Python.

    Through professional training, interactive workshops about the latest technology, and intensive one-on-one guidance from the best Data Engineers, our traineeship talent programme will help you become the best of the best. We’ll ensure you’re learning from day one, with a programme that consists of four parts:

    • Theory: under the guidance of our experts, you will learn all the basics about data integration, data warehousing, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform), data modelling techniques, machine learning and consultancy.
    • Self-study: lectures and case studies delivered by internal and external experts.
    • Participating in practice: step by step, we will involve you in current client projects, and your role in them will become more and more important. You’ll contribute to setting up actual data pipelines in Airflow and build data models with DBT, and much more.
    • Own projects: while gaining all the theoretical knowledge and your hands-on experience, you will get your own capstone project, where everything comes together. In this project, you will get the opportunity to apply your knowledge, hard and soft skills to generate value for the client.

    We’ll give you all the attention, feedback and high fives that you need to grow into a professional that stands out. You will gain a tonne of experience and work with A-list clients such as Nikon, London Marathon Events, Triumph, Superdry, World Health Organisation, END, and Weir Group.

    Please note this is a 7 month traineeship starting 1st September 2022.
