IT specialisation · Tier 3

Data Engineering consultants — engaged on fixed-scope contracts.

Data warehousing, ETL/ELT, Snowflake, Databricks, Fabric, lakehouse design and BI enablement.

Typical data engineering engagement

A representative engagement is a Snowflake or Databricks lakehouse build with dbt-based transformations, an Airflow / Fivetran ingestion layer, dimensional / activity-schema modelling, and an enablement programme for the customer's data team.

Typical timeline:4–8 weeks for an ingestion + warehouse MVP; 12–24 weeks for full lakehouse / governance programmes.

What you receive on a Data Engineering engagement

Concrete deliverables agreed up front in the proposal — fixed scope, fixed price, milestone-based delivery.

  • Data-platform architecture (HLD + LLD)
  • Ingestion pipelines and dbt project
  • Dimensional / semantic models and BI enablement
  • Data-quality framework and test suite
  • Operations handover and runbook

Data Engineering — frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the questions teams ask before engaging a data engineering consultant on TalvexIT.

Which data platforms are covered?

Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Google BigQuery, AWS Redshift, dbt, Apache Airflow / Dagster / Prefect, Apache Kafka / Confluent, and on-prem data warehouses (SQL Server, Oracle Exadata, Teradata).

Can I migrate from an on-prem warehouse to Snowflake / Databricks?

Yes — warehouse-to-cloud migrations are a common engagement type. Scope typically includes schema conversion, ETL/ELT pipeline rewrite (often to dbt), historical data backfill, dual-run validation, and cutover with measured cost / performance against the legacy system.

Do you build full lakehouses or just point fixes?

Both. Full lakehouse / data-platform builds (medallion architecture, governance layer, semantic models, BI enablement) are well-represented; targeted fixes (pipeline performance, dbt-model rationalisation, cost reduction) are equally common as smaller fixed-scope engagements.

How every TalvexIT engagement works

Same workflow across all 28 specialisations — verified consultant, fixed scope, formal Purchase Order, direct customer-to-supplier invoicing.

Verified senior consultant

KYC video, ABN check (Australian providers), insurance review, contractor agreement — before any data engineering work begins.

Fixed-scope proposal

Refined deliverables, milestones, timeline, T&Cs, and price agreed up front. Lock the scope before any commitment.

Direct invoicing

The provider raises a tax invoice in their name and ABN; you pay them directly. The platform records the engagement but never holds funds.

Worldwide expertise

Specialists across Australia, SE Asia, South Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Multi-currency quoting (AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD, SGD, CAD).
