This business is leading the charge in providing environmentally responsible water and waste services to businesses across the UK – with a mission to simplify utilities and help customers save time, money, and energy.
They’re not your typical utility company – innovation, flexibility, and authenticity are at the heart of their culture. It’s a place where you’ll be encouraged to bring your ideas, solve real problems, and grow your skills alongside a collaborative team.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Building and improving software using the Microsoft stack (primarily .NET Core)
* Developing new features and products with a cloud-agnostic approach
* Writing efficient SQL queries and stored procedures
* Collaborating with Testers to strengthen their automation-first testing strategy
* Embracing Agile ways of working and contributing to team discussions
* Improving platform testability and maintainability
What They’re Looking For:
You don’t need to tick every box, but the more experience you bring in the following, the better:
Essential:
* C# / .NET Core (ASP.NET)
* Entity Framework
* MS SQL – performance tuning and stored procedures
Desirable:
* Blazor (or a strong interest in learning it)
* JavaScript / TypeScript
* React (used in legacy systems)
* Azure or other cloud experience
What’s in It for You:
* Up to £36,600 salary
* Hybrid working: 2 days per week in the Peterlee office (SR8)
* Opportunities to work on projects that make a real-world impact
* Great company culture – breakfast clubs, social events, and a cracking Christmas party
* Personal development and progression support
* A chance to work with modern tech in a supportive, inclusive environment
