Role area Engineering & Maintenance
Location Sellafield West Cumbria
Band 4C

About the role

1. Role Purpose The Data Developer role supports the delivery of digital and data‑driven solutions that help teams work more efficiently and reliably by improving how information is captured, processed, and presented. The role contributes to the build, maintenance, and support of technical products that reduce manual effort, improve data quality, and make information easier to access and reuse. 2. Deliverables The role supports the delivery of data processing, reporting, visualisation, and automation solutions by contributing to the design, build, testing, and support of technical products within an agreed and defined scope of work. Working with guidance from more senior team members, the role holder engages with stakeholders to help understand their information needs by gathering and clarifying requirements such as what data is required, where it originates, and how outputs are expected to be presented or automated. These activities focus on capturing and structuring information to support delivery, with decisions, prioritisation, and approval of requirements remaining with senior team members. The role contributes to the delivery of new technical products, enhancements to existing products, and improvements to data flows, reports, or automated processes, following agreed standards, guidance, and ways of working. The role holder may also support the investigation and resolution of issues affecting existing products or data pipelines, under guidance, by helping to identify contributing factors, verifying data or logic, and supporting corrective actions. Ongoing system monitoring or operational ownership is not a primary responsibility of the role. Working within agreed controls and guidance, the role holder applies standards consistently and provides feedback based on delivery experience to support their ongoing improvement. Technical capability is expected to develop progressively through hands‑on work, learning, and support from the team.

Experience of working with data, information, or systems as part of a role, including using IT tools to create, update, or work with structured information. Experience of understanding how processes, data, or tools operate within a work context, such as how inputs, rules, or constraints affect outputs, accuracy, or consistency, within the boundaries of the role. Experience of working with others to understand how information is created or used, including asking questions to clarify tasks, issues, or expectations. Experience of following defined procedures, guidance, or standards to deliver reliable and consistent outputs.

Demonstrable experience of using IT tools to work with structured data or information, such as building, maintaining, or interrogating datasets, reports, or templates, using consistent structures and repeatable approaches. Ability to communicate clearly with colleagues or stakeholders, including explaining data, rules, assumptions, or limitations so others can understand what has been done and how outputs should be used. Experience of following defined processes, standards, and instructions to produce reliable and repeatable outputs, raising questions or issues when guidance is unclear rather than making assumptions.
