Data Engineer (PLM) – Engineering Data Migration

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Data Engineer to join a leading organisation within the aerospace sector on an 18-month contract. This role will play a key part in a major digital transformation programme, supporting the migration of legacy engineering product data into a new Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in engineering data, PLM systems or product data management who enjoys working on large-scale migration projects and collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

The Role

You will take ownership of a dedicated data migration work package, ensuring engineering data is accurately assessed, prepared, cleansed and successfully migrated into a modern PLM environment. Working alongside engineering, CAD and PLM teams across multiple sites, you will help ensure product information is organised, validated and fit for future use.

Alongside the migration activities, you will contribute to improving data management processes, support project reporting, document best practices and assist with user training where required.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the migration of legacy engineering and product data into a PLM system.
• Assess, extract, cleanse and validate engineering data prior to migration.
• Prepare CAD data, drawings and technical documentation for transfer.
• Work closely with engineering and PLM teams to coordinate migration activities.
• Monitor project progress, report risks and track delivery against project milestones.
• Develop and document improved data management processes and procedures.
• Support the delivery of training relating to migration tools and processes.

About You

We''re looking for someone who can demonstrate experience in engineering data management and has previously worked on data migration or PLM-related projects.

You will ideally have:

• Experience working with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems such as Teamcenter, Windchill, ENOVIA or similar.
• Experience migrating engineering or product data from legacy systems.
• Knowledge of CAD data, engineering drawings and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
• Strong data cleansing, validation and data quality experience.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across engineering and project teams.
• Experience using Excel, with Power BI and basic scripting skills being advantageous.

Desirable Experience

• Aerospace, manufacturing or other highly regulated engineering industries.
• Digital transformation or engineering systems implementation projects.
• Knowledge of Digital Twin concepts or engineering data analytics.

What''s on Offer?

• 18-month contract on a high-profile engineering transformation programme.
• Opportunity to work with advanced engineering technologies within the aerospace sector.
• Collaborative, technically focused environment.
• Exposure to international engineering and PLM teams.
• Competitive contract rate.
