  • Emerging Technologies: Familiarity with emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, and edge computing, and their application in optimising operational processes.
  • Communication: Effective communication skills to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and facilitate collaboration across departments.


What you’ll get in return:


This role is hybrid, on a 50/50 basis. This would usually equate to 2 days in office one week, 3 days in office the next.


  • £60k-£65k initially, with yearly increments/pay rises
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Annual bonus based on personal and company performance
  • Your 5% pension contribution will be doubled by the company, meaning 15% of your annual salary will be put into the pension pot (with you only contributing 5%)
  • And more
