A little about Davies Turner Group:
Davies Turner Plc is a British based multimodal freight forwarder specialising in logistics, e-commerce and warehousing. As one of the largest independent freight forwarding companies in the UK we manage freight from around the world, by road and rail, through the air and across the oceans. The business remains family owned and was founded in 1870 with 19 branches across the U.K. Our turnover is in excess of £225 million and rapidly growing with nearly 1,000 colleagues.
SQL Server Database Developer - The Role:
We are expanding our IT Development capability at Davies Turner and are looking for a talented SQL Server Database Developer to join our growing team. This is a new role, created as part of our continued investment in technology and systems.
You will play a key role in designing, building, and improving database solutions that underpin our business‑critical applications and integrations. The role is focused on database development and performance, working closely with application and integration teams in a collaborative environment.
This role is primarily development focused (database code, schema, data design, performance), with enough operational awareness to work safely in a production environment.
SQL Server Database Developer - Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop and maintain high‑quality T‑SQL including stored procedures, views, functions, tables, and indexes
- Proactively analyse and resolve database performance bottlenecks using execution plans, indexing strategies, and query refactoring
- Optimise high‑volume transactional queries, reporting workloads, and data integration jobs
- Design and support scalable database patterns suitable for high‑availability environments
- Support application and integration development through all stages of delivery
- Support and promote controlled database changes across Development, Test, and Production environments
- Work closely with CI/CD or release processes to version database scripts, coordinate deployment sequencing, and reduce release risk
- Ensure database changes are repeatable, auditable, and rollback‑ready
- Diagnose and resolve complex database‑related incidents including failed deployments, data inconsistencies, and performance degradation
- Support restore, recovery, and synchronisation activities in coordination with DBA teams or managed service partners
- Contribute to improving database standards and documentation
SQL Server Database Developer - You:
You will be hardworking and enthusiastic, a self‑learner with strong analytical and problem‑solving skills. You will be able to prioritise, plan and organise your work effectively, work well independently and as part of a team, communicate clearly, and build effective relationships with stakeholders.
Essential
- Strong experience as a SQL Server Database Developer in a production environment (typically 5 years)
- Excellent T‑SQL skills including performance tuning and optimisation
- Solid understanding of relational database design principles
- Experience supporting controlled database changes across multiple environments
- Proven ability to analyse and resolve complex database performance and data issues
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
Desirable
- Experience working alongside application development teams
- Exposure to high‑availability or resilient SQL Server environments
- Familiarity with database deployment, version control, or monitoring tools
In addition, you will also need the right to work in the UK - we are not able to sponsor work permits.
SQL Server Database Developer - Benefits*:
- Up to 27 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
- Life Cover
- Profit related pay
- Defined contribution pension scheme
- Discounted store/shopping benefit scheme
- Private Healthcare
- Car Parking
- Employee Assistance Programme
