Location: Remote - Philippines
Work type: Temporary Independent Contractor / Project-Based
Schedule: Flexible, with availability during agreed UK business hours
Rate: Competitive hourly rate, based on experience
English requirement: Excellent spoken and written English

About the Role

Intouch Tech is looking for a highly experienced Microsoft Power Platform Specialist to provide technical support, development and optimisation across our Power Platform environment.

This is a flexible, ad hoc contractor position for someone with advanced, hands‑on experience developing business solutions using Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI.

We're looking for a technically confident specialist who can understand business requirements, identify opportunities for automation and independently deliver reliable solutions.

You'll work closely with our UK‑based technical team to develop applications, improve business processes, troubleshoot existing solutions and support specific projects as required.

This role is ideal for someone who already has extensive experience with the Microsoft Power Platform and is available to provide specialist expertise on a project‑by‑project basis.

Key Requirements

We're looking for someone with strong experience in:

• Microsoft Power Apps, including Canvas Apps and Model-Driven Apps

• Microsoft Power Automate, including cloud flows, triggers and approval processes

• Microsoft Power BI, including dashboards, reports and data visualisation

• Microsoft Dataverse and SharePoint integrations

• Microsoft 365 and Power Platform administration

• Developing business applications and workflow automation

• Connecting applications with Microsoft services and third‑party platforms

• API integrations, connectors and data sources

• Troubleshooting Power Platform applications and automation failures

• Working with data structures, permissions and system configurations

• Understanding business processes and translating requirements into technical solutions

• Independently managing technical tasks and resolving complex problems

Advanced practical experience within the Microsoft Power Platform is essential.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and improve business applications using Microsoft Power Apps

• Create and optimise workflows and automation using Power Automate

• Support Power BI reporting, dashboards and data visualisation requirements

• Review existing applications and recommend practical improvements

• Troubleshoot workflow errors, integration issues and application failures

• Configure integrations between Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Dataverse and other business systems

• Develop custom forms, approval processes and automated workflows

• Identify opportunities to streamline repetitive business processes

• Improve existing solutions for reliability, performance and usability

• Provide technical guidance on Power Platform best practices

• Implement approved solutions based on agreed business requirements

• Test completed applications and workflows before deployment

• Document configurations and provide clear technical handover instructions

• Support other Power Platform projects as required

Nice to Have

Experience with any of the following would be beneficial:

• Microsoft Azure and Azure Functions

• Microsoft Graph API

• SharePoint Online development

• Power Platform governance and environment management

• Power Fx, DAX and Power Query

• SQL databases and data integrations

• Custom connectors, APIs and webhooks

• Microsoft Teams integrations

• Workflow automation using n8n or similar tools

• Microsoft Power Platform certifications

• Working with UK-based managed service providers or IT businesses

Technical Expertise & Communication

Excellent spoken and written English is essential.

You'll work directly with our UK technical team, so you must be comfortable discussing requirements, explaining technical solutions and providing clear updates.

We're looking for someone who can work independently, troubleshoot problems confidently and recommend practical solutions without extensive supervision.

You should be proactive, technically knowledgeable and comfortable providing recommendations that improve how systems and processes work.

Working Hours & Contractor Arrangement

This is a temporary, ad hoc contractor position rather than a permanent full‑time role.

Work will be assigned based on specific technical requirements and project needs.

• Work arrangement: Fully remote

• Schedule: Flexible, with availability for agreed meetings during UK business hours

• Engagement: Hourly or project‑based, as required

• Contract duration: Dependent on project requirements

• Working hours: May involve short assignments of one to two hours or additional hours depending on project scope

There is no guaranteed number of working hours. Further projects may be offered depending on business requirements and performance.

Ideal Background

This role would suit someone who has previously worked as a:

• Senior Microsoft Power Platform Consultant

• Power Platform Developer

• Microsoft Power Apps Specialist

• Power Platform Solutions Consultant

• Microsoft Business Applications Developer

• Power Platform Technical Specialist

Previous experience independently developing and supporting Power Platform solutions for businesses would be particularly valuable.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a technical video interview assessing their practical Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI expertise.

Applicants should provide examples of previous Power Platform projects and briefly describe the solutions they have personally developed or implemented.
