Operations Engineer

Overview

The Crown Prosecution Service is recruiting an Application Operations Engineer, across England and Wales. If you’re looking for a career with real purpose, this is an opportunity for you.

At the Crown Prosecution Service, we are responsible for delivering justice through the independent and effective prosecution of crime. As the principal prosecuting authority across England and Wales, the nature and diversity of cases we advise on and prosecute means our work is often emotionally challenging and complex. As such we employ over 7,000 individuals who think objectively, act professionally, show the utmost respect for others and continually strive for excellence.

As an Application Operations Engineer, you manage a comprehensive suite of applications, ensuring they operate effectively for end users. You are tasked with deploying updates, coordinating changes and working with delivery teams on the launch of new features across the Crown Prosecution Service. You oversee the administration of key application portfolios, whilst offering mentorship and direction to junior engineers.

We’re looking for someone competent in the use of management system software and diagnostic tools, with the ability to configure, install, and reconfigure applications, including performance optimisation and resource forecasting. Experience with ITIL and scripting programs, such as Power Shell, is desirable but not essential.

At the Crown Prosecution Service, we pride ourselves on providing benefits that ensure our employees’ needs are central.
