Join Our Team as a Data Engineer and Power Platform Developer

Do you enjoy turning business challenges into practical applications, automated workflows and connected data solutions?

At VIVO Defence Services, we deliver essential infrastructure and facilities management services across the UK Defence estate. We’re looking for a Data Engineer and Power Platform Developer to create solutions that simplify how our colleagues work and improve the services we deliver to customers.

This is a hands-on opportunity to combine Power Platform development with data engineering, taking solutions from initial discovery through to live use and ongoing improvement.

About the Role

You’ll work directly with users to understand their challenges, identify opportunities to reduce manual effort and develop secure, intuitive solutions that deliver measurable value.

Using Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Microsoft Fabric, Azure and SQL, you’ll build applications, automate processes and connect information across business systems.

You’ll own the full solution lifecycle, from discovery and prototyping to testing, release, adoption and support. Alongside developing new solutions, you’ll maintain and improve existing applications, ensuring they remain reliable, secure and easy to use.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll collaborate with business users to understand process challenges and translate their needs into clear solution designs, development priorities and acceptance criteria.

You’ll design, build and support canvas and model-driven Power Apps, Power Automate workflows and Dataverse solutions. Your focus will be on accessible, intuitive experiences, supported by reusable components and consistent development standards.

Alongside application development, you’ll build and maintain data pipelines, models and integrations using Microsoft Fabric, Azure and SQL. You’ll connect solutions to Microsoft 365 and relevant business systems, improving data quality, consistency and traceability.

You’ll apply appropriate security controls, testing, documentation, source control and deployment practices, contributing to Power Platform governance and environment management.

Once solutions are live, you’ll diagnose issues, support users and monitor adoption and performance. You’ll use feedback to refine solutions and ensure they continue to meet business needs.

What You’ll Bring

You’ll have practical experience delivering Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse solutions into live use, alongside experience in data engineering, SQL and integrating information from multiple sources.

You’ll be comfortable working directly with users, taking ownership of a business problem and following it through to a solution that people can confidently use.

We’re looking for:

• Strong knowledge of Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Microsoft 365 integration.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Fabric, Azure and SQL.
• Experience building, maintaining and improving applications and automated workflows.
• An understanding of application security, environment management, testing, deployment and support.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a practical focus on user needs.
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical colleagues.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to secure, sustainable and supportable solutions.

Knowledge of APIs, middleware, Azure integration services and application lifecycle management would be beneficial, as would experience in facilities management, Defence, asset-intensive services or another regulated environment.

A relevant degree or technical qualification is desirable, although we equally value expertise developed through practical professional experience.

Why Join VIVO?

This is an opportunity to see the direct impact of your work, creating applications and data solutions that reduce manual effort, connect information and help colleagues deliver essential services more effectively.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package that recognises the experience and expertise you bring. We welcome conversations about flexible working days and hours, including a four-day working week, considering individual circumstances alongside business and customer needs.

The role is hybrid/home-based, with some travel across the UK. Flexibility may occasionally be needed to support important releases, incidents or operational deadlines.

You’ll need to hold, or be willing to obtain, the security clearance required to work within Defence environments.
