Voltex is one of the fastest-growing Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) electrical suppliers in ANZ, with ~$100m turnover and 20% YoY growth. We are profitable, ambitious, and embarking on a massive transformation: shifting from a traditional e-commerce model to an AI-driven, Product-Led Data Ecosystem.
We’re mid-flight on a bold migration from on-prem to hybrid-cloud, and we’re looking for a sharp, execution-driven data leader to architect and build our next-generation data stack. You will be the architect behind the "Data Moat" that will define our competitive advantage for years to come.
This isn’t just a pipeline-building role. It’s about laying the foundations for analytics, AI, and decision automation across the business. You’ll have significant influence over technical direction, tool selection, and the roadmap for scaling our data capabilities over the next 12–24 months.
What You’ll DoBuild and Deliver
- Design and implement modern data pipelines (batch and streaming) to support analytics, reporting, and ML
- Stand up core cloud data infrastructure (e.g. Azure Data Lake, Databricks, or Fabric)
- Model business domains and build canonical datasets with clear data contracts
- Deliver high-impact, high-visibility datasets to analysts, business leads, and ML experiments
- Collaborate with our growing team of Data Analysts and adjacent IT functions to execute effectively
Architect and Scale
- Define and evolve our cloud-native data platform strategy across Azure, Fabric, or multi-cloud (if needed)
- Drive best practices for data modeling, data governance, and observability from day one
- Select technologies and implement scalable architecture patterns (lakehouse, event-driven, etc.)
- Lay the groundwork for ML readiness, real-time analytics, and MLOps
- Act as a multiplier: help guide and mentor other technical roles as we expand the team
You’re a builder at heart—with an eye for architecture and a bias for delivery. You’re looking for a role where you can shape something lasting, but you also want to ship value fast.
You’re energized by working cross-functionally and love turning messy reality into elegant data products. You’re assertive without being rigid: confident in your approach, but open to feedback and iteration.
You’ll join a growing data environment: we already have Data Analysts in place and expect to reallocate adjacent engineering support (e.g. application DBAs) to complement your work.
If you’re looking to put your stamp on something and lead from the front, this is your platform.
What We Offer- High-autonomy, high-impact role in a business committed to using data strategically
- Opportunity to define the data platform, practices, and architecture for the entire company
- Greenfield implementation—real freedom to choose and execute the right solutions, not inherit legacy
- Strong executive support: you’ll report directly to the CTO and influence data direction company-wide
- A platform to grow into a leadership role as the data function scales
If this sounds like your next chapter, we’d love to talk.
RequirementsWhat We're Looking For
- 5+ years in data engineering, ideally with some experience in architecture-level decisions
- Hands-on experience with cloud data tools (Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, or GCP/AWS equivalents)
- Proven ability to build robust, scalable ELT/ETL pipelines using tools like Spark, ADF, dbt, Airflow
- Comfort with both SQL and Python in production environments
- Solid understanding of data modeling, warehousing, and data quality frameworks
- Ability to engage both technical and business stakeholders to translate needs into platform capabilities
Nice to have
- Exposure to Delta Lake architectures
- Experience setting up data governance (e.g., Purview, Unity Catalog)
- Experience supporting or enabling ML workflows and feature engineering pipelines
Benefits
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative team.
- Professional growth and development opportunities.

What We Do
Voltex Electrical Accessories are a direct supplier to licenced electrical contractors.
Being the manufacturer we're responsible for the design, build, certification, warranty, and distribution of all Voltex products, and we partner with leading global players in production of switch-gear and circuit control products.
The business model involves controlling everything, right through to using only direct distribution from Voltex's own warehouses to account-holders, who enjoy the support of policies like a 25 year warranty, and '365 day no-questions-asked' goods return.
Direct distribution helps us save every cost we can, so we can pour more money into quality, production and service, then pass the rest of the savings on to our electrical contractor friends.
Established in February 2001, Voltex continues to achieve rapid, consistent growth by focusing on compliance, high performance and reliability, with an unflinching commitment to looking after electrical contractors, the guys that do the work.
This gives Contractors a good recipe for business success and a competitive edge. Forward ordering and buying online has meant a new way for the trade, and it's been a fun ride helping electricians make the move! We're barracking for our contractors!
The 'No questions Asked' returns policy is to make it easy for contractors to order things quickly without the risk of getting stuck with it!. We've got every respect for your competency in ordering, and any time down the track you need to reverse the deal, it’s OK.
Whether you over-ordered, changed your mind, or simply lost that job, return freight is free and we raise a credit. Just let us know it needs to come back, and we'll arrange pickup.
We welcome personal customer interactions, and would love to hear from you on 1300 722 275, Facebook, email or LinkedIn. If you're in the area, please feel free to visit us. You're very welcome.
