About the Role & Environment

We are recruiting two Senior Azure Platform Engineering Consultants to join an established global IT consultancy. In this role, you will be embedded directly into the platform engineering teams of a market-leading tier-1 telecommunications provider based in Newbury.

You will work on a high-profile platform initiative (Taa Zure), co-delivering reusable, production-ready platform capabilities, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, and Fin Ops practices.

We are offering flexibility on engagement - you can join either as a Permanent Employee with the consultancy or on a 6-Month Rolling Contract.

Key Responsibilities

• IaC & Platform Delivery: Design and build production-ready IaC using Terraform and Terragrunt, creating modular, reusable Azure platform templates and landing zone patterns.
• CI/CD & Automation: Build and refine automated deployment pipelines, environment management, and release practices.
• Platform Quality: Embed observability (monitoring, logging, alerting), resilience, security, and Fin Ops principles directly into platform assets.
• Co-Delivery & Knowledge Transfer: Work closely alongside client engineering teams to pair, document patterns, and upskill internal engineers so they can operate the platform independently.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in IT, Cloud, or Dev Ops Engineering.
• Deep Azure Expertise: Core compute, networking, storage, identity, security, and platform services.
• Infrastructure as Code: Strong proficiency with Terraform AND Terragrunt using modular, reusable implementation patterns.
• Dev Ops & Observability: Strong experience with CI/CD tools (Azure Dev Ops/Git Hub Actions) and monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, etc.).
• Fin Ops: Practical knowledge of cloud cost optimization, tagging strategies, and right-sizing.
• Consulting Mindset: Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills in an enterprise setup.
