2020 looks to be another big year for DevOps. By 2023, experts expect the DevOps market to triple in size compared to 2018. This brings a lot of positives: Cutting edge technology, New certifications and Variety. However how many opportunities can offer all 3 to a competitive standard? This role working with an award winning digital consultancy can.

The roles are part of an ongoing recruitment drive with a focus on building a strong DevOps team, but importantly a DevOps culture throughout the business. You will be tasked with working on client site with various members of the business to deliver digital solutions on an enterprise level. In terms of clients, you will work closely with public sector and private sector.

Cutting Edge Technology:
My client prides themselves on being able to use cutting edge technology to deliver ground breaking solutions. To do so they look to use the right tool for the job. This could be working with multiple cloud platforms in AWS and Azure whilst using Kubernetes and Terraform.

New Certifications:
You will look to achieve the following certifications:
CKAD/CKA
AWS/Azure Certified DevOps Engineer
AWS/Azure Certified Developer

Variety:
No one wants to be stuck on the same support work for months on end. That's why as a consultant, no two days will be the same. However there are a few responsibilities that will remain consistent. Working on: CI/CD pipelines, Cloud Architecture, Containers, Automation and Configuration Management. In addition to being hands on, you will have the opportunity to grow the DevOps practice and establish a agile team.

But enough about the company and the role. This, like any good advert, should be about you and what you need to bring to the table in order to progress this application. Therefore my client has highlighted the following skills:

• Containerisation - Experience with Docker is essential, including the use of container orchestration with Kubernetes or Docker Swarm
• Cloud - AWS/Azure/GCP
• Configuration Management Tools - Experience using at least one of the following: Puppet, Chef, Terraform, Ansible
• Software Engineering - Experience with any object orientated programming language is preferred.
• Leadership/Stakeholder management - Managing large scale teams whilst working closely with C-Level stakeholders.

In return, you will benefit from a highly networked and very flat structured organisation. This means that people with an Entrepreneurial self-managed approach can really contribute to the strategic direction of the practice and be heard. In terms of package, my client can offer a competitive salary (between £70,000 - £85,000) alongside a non-contributory pension (10%), Bonus (10%-15%) private health care and 1 Day remote work.

So if this advert has been short enough to make you think 'I want this job' then why not apply? To do so, please use the following...

Service Director - Telecoms Networks
Salary £90,000 base plus bonus, health / benefits.

Based in Central London

The Opportunity

Would you like to get involved in on of the most exciting programme of works in the UK that is going to revolutionise the daily lives of commuters in London?

This project is to roll out 4G mobile connectivity across the underground sections of the London Underground network and while platform access is available for Wi-Fi at the moment, this network build and deployment programme will allow that access to data when on the move in the tunnels so is one of the biggest commuting game changers for many a year.

This role is working for the client and network owner.

The Role
You'll be the Service Director and will lead, develop and own the customer service management experience, building an effective relationship as an inclusive partner with TfL & the Emergency Services Networks that will be using some of the network.

Reporting to the COO, you'll have overall accountability for the service delivery and management function and in this highly customer facing role, you'll be the senior interface between the business, the government, TFL and also the partners engaged on the build / service by way of expectation and performance. This role will support the Operations Team and determine how customers are kept informed of their service's performance, acting as the conduit of into the business and partnering with our account management team to deliver a best in class technology solution and associated service,

This is going to be a rapid ramp up and you'll be joining the multi-year / multi-million value project before the go live date so structure, process and agreements need to be in place - there isn't going to be a huge amount of leeway when it comes to delivery meaning everything needs to go as smooth as possible when it comes to the measurement of service and structuring of KPI's - likely in line with an ITIL model.

Who are you?
A senior level telecoms network professional, ideally from a mobile network or Service Provider background.

Experience of working on and around projects associated with rail, TFL or LUL a distinct advantage and specifically by way of engineering or technology projects into that sector.

* ISO20001 Service Management knowledge

* ITIL V3 Foundation as a minimum

* ITIL Service Management

This is going to be a rapid growth, scale up business that has the advantage of being able to call upon a proven track record by way of similar projects across the World - however, that ability to play a major part in building and shaping your function quickly is going to be paramount. While it isn't strictly essential that you have built a function from scratch previously, the ability to keep a cool head in a rapid deployment, project environment would be essential but that equals a lot of opportunity in our opinion to really influence moving forward.

Package to include KPI driven annual bonus, matched pension upto 10%, 5 x death in service, Income protection and private medical health care.
