About This Role

By utilising DevOps, businesses deliver systems faster, cheaper and without sacrificing high quality. It is an environment, a philosophical mindset and a real-world framework that brings together development and operations to create stable, repeatable platforms for product deployment.

To become a DevOps specialist, you need both technical and soft skills to seamlessly integrate with multiple teams. Engineers use tools to deploy infrastructure as code, create automation, test the platform during deployment, and hook in monitoring systems for rapid, up-to-date reporting.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will collaborate with development and operations teams to automate application deployment to multiple environments. You will monitor system health and performance, troubleshoot issues, and maintain infrastructure as code to manage resources effectively. You will also contribute to improving DevOps practices and processes.

We’re not expecting you to be an expert right away — that’s where our award-winning Academy comes in. We focus on building skills and confidence in a fun, supportive environment that develops you into a confident and capable consultant.

• Drive: Goal-oriented with pride in exceeding targets.
• Collaboration: Team-focused, fostering positive relationships.
• Innovation: Curiosity, creativity, openness to diverse ideas.
• Flexibility: Adaptability and composure in change.

Candidates must be willing to relocate post-training for deployment to client sites across the UK. Remote work cannot be guaranteed. Eligibility to work in the UK is required (British or Irish Citizenship, EU Settled Status, or Permanent Visa). We do not sponsor visas or accept Graduate/PSW Visas.
