• Apply consulting‑grade practices such as documentation, peer reviews, test execution, and quality checkpoints.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies (stand‑ups, planning, retros).

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Partner with BAs, product owners, and downstream consumers to translate requirements into robust SQL designs.

• Support UAT, investigate defects, and resolve logic issues quickly.

• Produce runbooks, knowledge‑transfer materials, and follow governance/security standards.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Advanced SQL development experience (T‑SQL, PL/SQL, or equivalent) with strong performance‑tuning skills.

• Strong data modelling knowledge (star/snowflake schemas, indexing strategies, optimisation).

• Experience working in structured consulting or delivery environments with clear processes and standards.
