The Role

VIVO is seeking a highly skilled Microsoft Power Platform Developer to design, build, and maintain innovative business applications that enhance operational performance and support the delivery of infrastructure, asset, and facilities management services across the UK Defence sector. This is a newly created role within a rapidly growing joint venture between Serco and Engie, offering the opportunity to shape and expand VIVO's digital capabilities from the ground up.

As part of the Technology Team, you will play a key role in transforming business needs into powerful, scalable, and user-friendly digital solutions. Collaborating closely with business stakeholders, analysts, and IT colleagues, you will design and develop applications using Microsoft Power Apps (both Canvas and Model-Driven), automate workflows through Power Automate, and manage data structures within Dataverse. A deep understanding of business processes and the ability to translate them into effective technical solutions will be critical to success in this role.

You will be responsible for integrating Power Platform solutions with the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem-including SharePoint, Teams, and Dynamics 365-while also developing custom connectors for external APIs and services. You will take ownership of application design, configuration, testing, and deployment, ensuring that all solutions are optimised for performance, security, and user experience. Supporting end-users through documentation, troubleshooting, and training will form an important part of your remit, alongside ensuring that all developments adhere to best practices and evolving platform standards.

What You'll Bring

This role demands strong technical capability and creative problem-solving. You will be expected to leverage tools such as Power BI, Power Fx, JavaScript, JSON, and SQL to deliver insights and functionality that empower decision-making across the business. A working knowledge of Azure services, REST APIs, and custom connector development will be advantageous, as will familiarity with Agile methodologies and DevOps practices.

You will bring proven experience in developing enterprise-grade Power Platform solutions and a solid understanding of data modelling, business intelligence, and database management. Experience with the broader Microsoft Business Intelligence stack—such as Power BI, SSIS, SSRS, and Azure Data Factory—is highly desirable, as is exposure to advanced analytics, including predictive and prescriptive modelling.

Strong communication, collaboration, and relationship management skills are essential. You will be expected to engage effectively with diverse technical and non-technical stakeholders, manage multiple projects concurrently, and consistently deliver high‑quality applications that meet business objectives.

This role requires Security Check (SC) clearance and will involve regular travel across the UK to support business operations. Working arrangements are flexible, with the expectation of being on‑site as required to support key delivery and collaboration activities. You will work from Ingenuity House in Birmingham at least 2 times per month.

What We Offer

• 6% employee matched pension contribution
• 25 days annual leave
• Single private medical cover
• Life assurance 2x annual salary
