Essential Skills

• Deep Power BI semantic modelling expertise (not just reporting)
• Strong DAX, VertiPaq optimisation, and performance tuning
• Experience with Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, SSMS (XMLA)
• Power BI Enterprise Gateway setup and management
• Git / CI/CD in Power BI or Fabric environments
• Experience modernising / migrating existing BI estates
• Strong understanding of dimensional modelling (Kimball)

Bonus Points

• .pbip + Git-based workflows
• RLS / OLS design
• Snowflake integration
• Microsoft Fabric
• Composite models / aggregations

This is a solid contract opportunity for an Edinburgh based product company. You will be outside IR35 and working with a highly skilled and driven team.
