Are you an experienced Technical Business Analyst or System Migration Specialist with hands-on SME knowledge of MRI Repairs

We are urgently recruiting a delivery-focused Business Analyst / Technical SME to join a fast-paced IT project team in Knowsley, Liverpool. The team is currently executing an in-flight, multi-stream migration project transitioning legacy housing maintenance systems over to the new MRI Repairs works management platform.

This is an initial 3 to 6 month contract to cover a key vacancy, with strong potential for further extensions for a high-performing candidate who integrates well with the team.

Why Apply for This Role

High-Impact In-Flight Project:
Take key ownership of upcoming go-live milestones across multiple contract streams.

Extension Potential:
Initial 3–6 month post with the likelihood of extension if you perform well and hit delivery milestones.

Competitive Market Rate: £400 to £500 per day (Inside IR35).

Urgent Placement:
Rapid interview process via Microsoft Teams with immediate feedback and onboarding.

Key Responsibilities:

UAT & Quality Assurance:
Lead, write, and execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scripts, ensuring all functional requirements and system configurations are fully validated ahead of go-live dates.

Data Migration Support:
Assist with data mapping, data profiling, and validation checks during the transition from legacy systems to MRI Repairs.

MRI System Configuration (SME Role):
Hands-on setup and administration within MRI Repairs, including configuring contracts, operational workflows, and setting up system users.

On-Site Go-Live & Hypercare:
Provide hands-on cutover support and hypercare to back-office staff and contract managers during live site migrations. This includes occasional travel to client operational sites across the UK alongside the wider IT project team.

Stakeholder Coordination:
Collaborate closely with Project Managers, BAs, IT trainers, and operational contract leads to maintain project momentum.

Candidate Profile & Experience

Required:

Technical BA Track Record:
Proven background as a hands-on Business Analyst on IT system migrations, software rollouts, or enterprise application integrations (not purely high-level business change).

MRI Repairs / Works Management SME:
Essential hands-on technical familiarity with MRI Repairs (or similar social housing works management systems), including experience setting up contracts, trades, and users.

Testing & Data Migration:
Strong background executing UAT testing cycles and verifying data migration outputs.

Mobility & Site Presence:
Based within a reasonable commute of Knowsley, Liverpool (able to work on-site 2–3 days per week) and willing to travel to client sites when contract migrations go live.
