• Manage and direct the existing team of three software developers/engineers
• Allocate tasks, establish priorities and ensure development milestones are achieved
• Redesign and improve existing solutions to make field operations and internal workflows more efficient
• Manage the complete software development lifecycle, including development, testing, user feedback, refinement, final handover, implementation and live environment
• Design and manage integrations between Microsoft Dynamics, Power Platform, web applications and other business systems
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues independently
• Maintain accountability for the quality, reliability and successful implementation of all solutions
• Take ongoing ownership of the company's software automation environment following completion of the current project

• Demonstrated experience designing, building and delivering production-grade business systems and automation solutions
• Capable of leading a small development team while remaining personally involved in development
• Comfortable taking complete ownership of complex projects
• Able to understand an existing partially completed solution and determine the most effective pathway to completion
• Confident working independently and making technical decisions
• Highly organised, accountable and delivery-focused
• Able to work under pressure while maintaining strong attention to detail
• An effective project manager and team leader
• A strong problem solver who can troubleshoot technical issues without relying on others to provide the solution
