Power BI Dashboard for Overview of Engineer Jobs

Description:

We are a small but growing facilities management and drainage company based in Stevenage, UK. We're looking for an experienced Power BI developer to build a clear, visually appealing, and insightful dashboard for our company owner. The dashboard needs to provide real-time visibility into key operational and financial metrics.

Project Goals:
- Create a Power BI dashboard that provides a high-level overview and detailed breakdowns of:
- Ongoing and upcoming works/jobs
- Cost breakdowns (labour, materials, subcontractors, etc.)
- Job profitability or margin tracking
- Engineer productivity and job status (complete, in progress, delayed)
- Client/job type analysis
- Invoices raised vs paid (optional if finance data is available)
- Any other relevant operational KPIs to support business decisions

Data Sources:
- We can provide data from spreadsheets, job management systems (if applicable), or exports from accounting software (e.g. Xero, Sage, QuickBooks).
- We'd like the dashboard to auto-refresh if possible (or have a clear process to update data regularly).

Deliverables:
- A fully functional and user-friendly Power BI dashboard
- Connection to live or regularly updated data sources
- Clear visual layouts for each metric or KPI
- Documentation or walkthrough for how to use and maintain the dashboard

Ideal Freelancer:
- Strong experience in Power BI dashboard design
- Background in finance or operations data (ideally in trade, maintenance, or similar industries)
- Able to advise on KPI design and layout for business clarity
- Good communicator, able to interpret business needs and translate into visual data insights

It doesn't have to be anything too extensive,
