Job Specifications

At Specsavers, we’re on a mission to change lives through better sight and hearing—and we know that great data is at the heart of that mission. Every appointment booked, every store opened, every customer supported relies on accurate, well-managed information. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Data Migration Engineer on a 9 month FTC, to join our team and help us move from a legacy system to a modern SaaS platform. It’s a hands-on role where you’ll be working directly with data every day—extracting it, transforming it, loading it, and making sure it’s clean, complete, and ready to power the future of our business.

You’ll spend your time analysing legacy datasets, figuring out how they fit into the new system, and building the scripts and pipelines that make the migration happen. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the business to understand what the data means, how it’s used, and how to make sure nothing gets lost in translation. And when things don’t quite line up, you’ll be the one to dig in, troubleshoot, and put it right.

If you’ve worked with property management systems before—especially MRI Horizon—you’ll feel right at home. But more than anything, we’re looking for someone who’s curious, detail-focused, and passionate about getting data right.

Sound like your kind of challenge? We’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help us build the data foundations for a business that’s growing, evolving, and making a real difference in people’s lives.
