Job Description

The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) is looking for a Data Engineer to take a leading role in defining the Data, Integration, and Development standards used in a shared industry platform for workforce development. You will ensure that data structures, integration patterns, and technical guardrails are consistent and scalable across a global ecosystem while still being able to build and troubleshoot solutions hands-on when needed.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the data foundation behind international safety training and certification for wind technicians. Your work will help ensure the right people, skills, and standards are in place globally, enabling safer worksites and a faster, better-supported green energy transition.

Why this role is different

• You have real influence: what you design help scale a global, safety-critical workforce by improving how training, certification, and competence data works end-to-end
• You are at the centre of things, defining practical standards and guardrails used across a shared industry platform delivered by multiple external providers
• You stay technical: you can look under the hood, prototype, troubleshoot, and build targeted components when it creates the most value

Global Wind Organisation (GWO) is a non-profit, for-purpose body committed to advancing safety standards and workforce competence in renewable industry. As the green energy transition accelerates and the need for a safety-focused workforce grows, our mission is to ensure technicians are skilled, confident and striving for injury free workplaces.

Through our portfolio of standards delivered across a global network of more than 640 independently certified training providers, we have empowered over 210.000 technicians to safely and effectively play a part in the renewable sector. We are committed to developing this pool of GWO-trained technicians and ensuring a skilled, safe, and job-ready workforce capable of supporting the industry's long-term growth.

How will you contribute to the development of safety training and workforce development?

You will play a key role in the GWO Secretariat, helping shape and strengthen our data foundation. As Data Engineer, you will design and maintain data models, integrations, and automations that enable reliable reporting and better decision-making across the organisation. Working closely with stakeholders in business insights, Technology, and external partners, you will translate needs into robust technical solutions while also helping define the standards and structures that ensure consistency and scalability. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the data and the build, and who is motivated by creating clarity, structure, and real impact in a lean and collaborative organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain GWO's overall data model (data standards, entity definitions, and ownership)
• Design and govern the integration and automation architecture by establishing patterns, guardrails, and tooling standards
• Build and maintain integrations and automations hands-on where direct technical contribution is most effective
• Translate reporting requirements and business insights from the Product Owner into data model and source system changes
• Own custom development capability (coding standards, policies, tooling, and supplier code review)
• Define deployment patterns and environment standards; operate CI/CD pipelines for custom code

As our new colleague you are

A well-grounded individual with healthy values and excellent interpersonal skills. You know the importance of communicating constructively, and even when you do not know the answer to a question, you take the time to assist the person seeking an answer.

What we expect

• Proven experience as a Data Engineer / Analytics Engineer (or similar) in integration-heavy environments
• Strong data modelling skills - defining entities, standards, ownership, and documentation that scale
• Ability to set integration and automation patterns/guardrails across systems (architecture mindset) and make pragmatic trade-offs
• Hands-on capability to build, debug, and operate production pipelines/integrations (you can look under the hood, not only design)
• Experience translating stakeholder reporting/analytics needs into robust technical solutions and data changes
• Strong collaboration and communication skills in English, written and verbal
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and environment management for data products/custom code (considered a plus)
• Experience with data governance practices such as data quality controls, coding standards, and supplier/third-party code review (considered a plus)
• Experience with modern data stack tooling (cloud data platforms, orchestration tools, transformation frameworks) (considered a plus)

If the above sounds interesting, you should join us!

Seize the exciting opportunity to be part of an expanding industry where one can grow, enjoy, and contribute.

GWO offers the following

• Purposeful work for a non-profit organisation
• Flat organisational structure
• Emphasis on a balanced work life
• Continuous personal development
