At CGI, we're empowering the next generation of Test Engineers to shape the future of quality assurance and digital delivery. You'll be part of a team that drives innovation across complex transformation programmes, designing, automating, and optimising test solutions that deliver measurable value to our clients. Your work will strengthen the reliability and performance of mission-critical systems, directly contributing to business success. At CGI, we'll give you the freedom to take ownership of your ideas, the support to push boundaries, and the platform to make a lasting impact across industries.

CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK 'Best Employer' by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. Our teams operate within a flexible hybrid working model, however on-site requirements vary by project, so the ability to travel as required to meet client needs is essential.

Candidate Profile
In this role, you will design, implement, and execute test strategies that underpin the successful delivery of digital and enterprise-scale solutions. Working collaboratively within Agile or Waterfall environments, you'll use your technical expertise to drive automation, optimise testing frameworks, and ensure that every release meets the highest standards of performance, security, and user experience. You'll mentor others, contribute to test architecture decisions, and bring forward-thinking approaches to test delivery across cloud, AI, and DevOps environments.

You'll thrive in a culture that encourages you to take ownership of outcomes, innovate through collaboration, and continually evolve your technical expertise while being supported by a community of experienced professionals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead & Innovate: Define and deliver effective test strategies and frameworks across multiple delivery models.
  • Develop & Automate: Create and maintain automated tests using modern coding languages and toolsets.

  • Optimise & Assure: Implement quality measures that reduce risk and enhance delivery confidence.
  • Collaborate & Mentor: Guide team members in testing practices, tools, and methodologies.
  • Consult & Influence: Provide insight and recommendations to stakeholders, shaping testing best practice.
  • Integrate & Improve: Work closely with DevOps teams to embed testing in CI/CD pipelines.

Required Qualifications To Be Successful In This Role
To succeed in this role, you'll bring a strong foundation in test engineering and automation, a deep understanding of quality assurance processes, and the ability to influence delivery outcomes through technical and collaborative excellence.

You Should Have

  • Proven experience as a Test Engineer or Senior Test Engineer in Agile/Waterfall environments.
  • Strong proficiency in one or more programming languages for automation (e.g. Python, Java, C#).
  • Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Good understanding of cloud testing (Azure, AWS) and modern delivery lifecycles.
