is expected to grow with experience. Further development of the role is possible. Support and mentoring will be provided with the short-term goals to allow the successful candidate to be able to:
1. Deliver consistent, repeatable system builds.
2. Maintain and improve build scripts and configuration documentation.
3. Independently test and prepare documentation for release activities.

This role is based in the Company Offices in Lincoln; remote working is available where tasking allows - applicants should assume that they may be required to work in the office full-time most weeks.
THE PERSON
We are looking for a proactive, flexible and confident individual with strong attention to detail and the discipline to produce accurate, repeatable work. You should be motivated by delivering high-quality technical outputs and committed to following engineering processes, build standards and configuration control practices.

You will also have an inquisitive/analytical mind, be able to research issues independently, identify root causes and suggest pragmatic, business-focused solutions. We are keen to support candidates who demonstrate a desire to develop professionally and contribute to the continuous improvement of our build and test capability.
