Job Description:

Head of QA / Lead Software Tester

If you're an experienced software tester with solid hands-on experience looking to step into a leadership role OR whether you are an experienced QA Lead looking for a new opportunity, then look no further.

You'll have experience in manual and automated testing with solid use of tools and technologies like Selenium, Cucumber, C# etc. You'll have worked in a commercial environment testing software and creating automated test cases from scratch and be able to establish change. You will not be frightened of challenging that Status Quo.

In this role, you will report directly to the Software Development Manager and become the organisation's 'go-to person' for all things QA related.

Your commercial background will ideally have been working with software that is very closely related to hardware/products.

This role is paying up to £80,000 plus benefits like private healthcare, pension, hybrid working, on-site gym, life insurance, and much more.

Our client is a global technology business within the oil and gas sector. You will need to be within commutable distance from the office in Aberdeen as this role requires onsite working.

Bright Purple is an equal opportunities employer and we are proud to work with customers who share our values.
