Quality Assurance Engineer

Overview

Define and implement the end-to-end testing strategy across the Automated Warehouse programme. Ensure effective testing coverage across multiple systems, integrations, and interdependent teams. Establish and maintain testing standards, governance, and best practices across the programme. Provide leadership and direction to 3–4 offshore QA engineers, ensuring delivery of high-quality testing outputs. Coordinate testing activities across multiple delivery teams to ensure alignment with programme timelines.

Act as the central point of accountability for testing quality within the Move programme. Drive the automation-first testing strategy across the Move portfolio. Identify opportunities to replace manual testing with automated approaches to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability. Work with engineering teams to embed automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows. Work closely with engineering, product, programme, and delivery teams to ensure testing is integrated into delivery plans.

Manage testing dependencies across the programme to minimise risk and avoid delivery bottlenecks. Provide clear reporting on testing progress, risks, and quality metrics to programme stakeholders. Champion modern QA practices, tooling, and processes. Introduce improvements that enhance testing efficiency, coverage, and speed of delivery. Promote a quality-first mindset across the Move programme.
