Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior AWS Engineer to join our Professional Services delivery team on a fixed term basis to support the delivery of a major AWS migration and separation programme for an enterprise customer. This role will form part of a multi‑disciplinary delivery team working alongside Solution Architects, Project Managers, and customer technical stakeholders to build, migrate, and deploy AWS infrastructure and application services as part of a structured separation of an existing hybrid estate into a new AWS Organisation. The successful candidate will play a hands‑on role in delivering landing zone implementation, networking build activities, server migration, and application platform deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approaches. This is a customer‑facing delivery role within a professional services consultancy environment, not an internal platform engineering position.
