The role:
This is an opportunity to join a large, complex public sector environment as a Technical Solutions Designer focused on automation, AI and enterprise solution design.
You will own the design of technical solutions end-to-end, from initial idea through to high- and low-level design, with a strong focus on Microsoft 365, Power Platform and automation initiatives.
This is a design-led role rather than hands-on engineering. You will work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to shape solutions, produce clear design documentation, and guide delivery teams through implementation.
You'll operate across a broad landscape of infrastructure and applications, collaborating with architects, engineers and project teams to introduce scalable, secure and well-governed solutions.
Non-Negotiables:
* Microsoft 365 (Power Platform / Power Automate)
* Enterprise infrastructure & systems knowledge
* Stakeholder management (technical + non-technical)
* Security, governance, regulated environments
What You’ll Work With
* Microsoft 365
* Power Automate
* Power Platform
* On-prem and cloud-connected systems

Core Responsibilities:

* Work with stakeholders to define the right technical approach
* Support technology selection and procurement decisions
* Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through automation
* Collaborate with engineers, architects and project teams to progress solutions
* Ensure consistency with architecture, governance and standards
Examples of the kinds of work you’ll be involved in:
* Designing automation workflows that improve internal operational processes
* Shaping AI and Microsoft 365-based solutions for different departments across the organisation

Why Join
Join at a point where automation and AI are a key focus, giving you real influence over how solutions are designed and adopted.
This is a genuinely design-led role, where you shape solutions up front without being responsible for delivery.
You’ll also benefit from strong stability, flexible working and a competitive public sector package.
