Responsibilities
Kimley-Horn is building an enterprise data platform to activate project and operational data for AI, search, analytics, and knowledge access across our AEC project delivery ecosystem. We're looking for a Data Engineer to help build a Microsoft Fabric-based lakehouse + warehouse platform on OneLake that unifies data, applies strong governance, and delivers trusted data products for enterprise use. This role will partner closely with IT, security, and civil engineering leadership to build a scalable, secure foundation for data activation across the firm.

Build and maintain ingestion, transformation, and publishing pipelines using Fabric and related Azure services, including Data Factory pipelines, Lakehouse, Warehouse, notebooks/Spark, and SQL.
Integrate data from key AEC systems-including project delivery, documents, financials, scheduling, and GIS/BIM-related sources-and develop repeatable onboarding patterns using incremental loads, CDC where appropriate, monitoring, alerting, and runbooks.
Publish trusted data products, metadata, and lineage that support AI use cases such as enterprise search, copilots, and retrieval-based applications.
Partner with IT and security to establish data quality, governance, access controls, data classification, lifecycle policies, and production DataOps practices.
Qualifications
What We're Looking For
5+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or building production-grade data platforms and pipelines.
Strong SQL skills and experience with relational and analytical data modeling, transformation design, and curated datasets for downstream use.
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric strongly preferred; equivalent experience with Azure-based lakehouse, warehouse, or modern data platform services will also be considered.
Proficiency in Python and/or Spark, plus experience with orchestration tools such as Microsoft Fabric Data Factory pipelines or Azure Data Factory.
Experience supporting production data workloads, including incremental loading or CDC patterns, monitoring, CI/CD, governance, and collaboration across technical and business teams.
Nice to Have
Experience implementing medallion architecture patterns in Microsoft Fabric.
Experience preparing enterprise data for AI or LLM-driven use cases, including metadata enrichment, chunking, embeddings workflows, or retrieval optimization.
Familiarity with Azure AI Search, vector or hybrid retrieval patterns, and secure enterprise search architectures.
Familiarity with data catalog, governance, and lineage tools such as Microsoft Purview or similar platforms.
AEC domain familiarity, including project delivery data, GIS, BIM/CAD metadata, and document workflows.
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to help build the trusted data foundation that makes project information usable across the firm-for analytics, enterprise search, copilots, and AI-powered applications.
