Senior Data Engineer

at  Grosvenor Group

We think this is a special place to work. So, before we get into the detail of this job opportunity, here’s a few words about who we are and what’s important to us.
Grosvenor
is an international organisation whose activities span urban property, food & agtech, rural estate management and support for philanthropic initiatives. We’re united by a common goal to deliver lasting commercial, social and environmental benefit.
We’re steeped in history but focused on the future
We may have 340 years of history, but we are firmly focused on the future. From progressive environmental action to being at the forefront of community engagement, we work with purpose and embrace change. So diversity of thought and fresh perspectives really matter to us. We want our people to bring everything they are to work. Their life experiences, their knowledge, their unique take on challenges and solutions.
What’s it like to work here?
Well, there is plenty to talk about. It’s purposeful, whether that’s innovative ways to tackle the climate crisis or engaging meaningfully with local communities. It’s commercial and ambitious, which you’ll see in our transformational development projects and diverse investment pipeline. It’s sociable, in our buzzing café and at our many events. It’s challenging, varied and supportive: contributing to inclusion and innovation is part of everyone’s personal goals here. We also enjoy a flexible work environment and, because it’s a family business, we like to think we are a little less corporate too.
