Lead Environment Engineer

Overview

We’re Kingfisher, a team of over 74,000 passionate people who bring Kingfisher and all our brands—including B&Q, Screwfix, Brico Depot, Castorama, and Koçtaş—to life. Guided by our purpose "Better Homes. Better Lives. For Everyone," we believe a better world starts with better homes and work every day to make that a reality. Join us and help shape the future of home improvement.

Join our dynamic Environment Management Team and lead non-production test environments across Fulfilment & Order Management (with some exposure to Store Operations). You’ll own environment strategy, provide governance, and act as the key escalation point for non‑prod issues. This is a hands‑on leadership role with the opportunity to shape the future of environment management as we transition to hybrid cloud and Dev Ops ways of working.

Play a key part in driving continuous improvement while contributing to an exciting team transformation.

This role can be based from our London Paddington, Southampton, or Yeovil office with an expectation of 4 days per month in the office.

• Own and manage non-production test environments for your domain, acting as the primary environment point of contact.
• Analyse new demand (timelines, stakeholders, requirements).
• Define Route to Production and ensure process adherence.
• Drive environment optimisation and future capability: advance "Environments on Demand", capture configuration changes for the CMDB, and participate in Agile/Sprint ways of working.
• Lead issue resolution and governance: coordinate non‑prod incident and request escalations, communicate updates, ETAs, and drive resolution, and promote consistent processes.
• Contribute to team strategy and transformation: support strategic objectives and play a key role in the team’s maturity and evolution.

• Passion for continuous improvement and driving change.
• Self‑starter capable of working independently and collaboratively.
• Strong stakeholder management, influencing, and communication skills.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to navigate transformation.
• Experience working in Agile environments and cross‑functional teams.
• Experience in large, multi‑business unit organisations.
• Exposure to hybrid cloud and on-premise environments.
• Familiarity with Agile and Dev Ops methodologies.
• Knowledge of tools such as Service Now, Git Lab, or Datadog.
• Technical background beneficial but not essential.

We believe in flexibility and balance. Our hybrid model blends home working for focus with time spent connecting and collaborating—whether in our offices or at offsite locations. On average, around 20% of your time will involve in-person collaboration.

An inclusive environment where your potential is limited only by your imagination. We encourage new ideas, support experimentation, and strive to create a workplace where everyone can be their best self. Find out more about Diversity & Inclusion at Kingfisher here.
