Why Join? 🌱
Because you want more than just writing test scripts.
Here, you’ll have real ownership over automation frameworks and testing strategy, the chance to work across varied, high-impact projects rather than one static product and will be joining a consultancy environment where progression is based on capability, not time served.

The Company 🏗️
Our client is a growing technology consultancy that partners closely with organisations across the public and private sectors, embedding engineers into teams to solve real-world problems. They operate with a flat structure, value expertise over hierarchy, and invest heavily in their people.
