Our client is seeking a Data Migration Engineer to support a large-scale programme migrating unstructured data from legacy file storage into strategic Microsoft 365 data platforms. You will take ownership of complex, enterprise-scale migrations into SharePoint Online, covering preparation, analysis, migration, cutover, validation and remediation. The role will involve managing multiple migrations simultaneously, supporting stakeholders throughout the process and identifying opportunities to improve and automate migration processes.

- Manage multiple concurrent migrations, including mapping templates, site build scripts, source analysis and migration batch creation.
- Monitor migration activity across multiple servers, investigating failures and reporting progress, successes and exceptions.
- Support migration cutovers, post-migration validation, remediation and Early Life Support queries for business users.
- Improve migration processes through PowerShell scripting, automation and the streamlining of manual activities.
About You
- Experience delivering large-scale, enterprise-level scripted migrations from file shares to SharePoint Online, including managing multiple migrations and competing priorities.
- Strong working knowledge of SharePoint Online, PowerShell and Power Automate, with confidence running and maintaining PowerShell scripts.
- Experience with migration tooling such as ShareGate, alongside Microsoft 365 technologies. Exposure to NetApp CVO, Azure VM management and Linux is desirable.
- Experience investigating and resolving migration issues, including cutover support, error handling, post-migration validation and remediation, alongside strong stakeholder communication and collaborative problem-solving skills.
