Data Engineer (PLM) – Engineering Data Migration

About the role

This contract position supports a major Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) transformation for a leading aerospace organisation. You will own the migration of engineering and product data—including CAD models, drawings and Bills of Materials—from legacy systems into a new PLM environment.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the migration of legacy engineering data into the target PLM system.
• Assess, extract, cleanse and validate CAD data, drawings and technical documentation before transfer.
• Coordinate migration activities with engineering, CAD and PLM teams across multiple sites.
• Monitor project progress, report risks and track delivery against milestones.
• Develop and document improved data‑management processes and procedures.
• Support training on migration tools and processes where required.

Required profile

• Experience working with engineering or product data rather than traditional business analytics.
• Background in aerospace, defence, automotive or other highly regulated engineering environments is advantageous.
• Familiarity with PLM concepts and engineering documentation workflows.

Required skills

• Teamcenter, Windchill or ENOVIA PLM systems.
• CAD data handling and preparation.
• Bills of Materials (BOM) management.
• Data cleansing and validation techniques.
