Lead Quality Engineer

About the job you're considering

Capgemini are recruiting for experienced Quality Engineers at a Lead level.

We have vacancies for Lead Quality Engineers to join our dynamic team building solutions for our public sector client. Working with us will mean delivering critical digital services from cradle to grave working on a variety of projects featuring high-performance cloud platforms using Java based languages and technologies, and on-premises traditional infrastructure.

As a member of our self-empowered, multi-disciplined teams, you ll have the freedom to shape the way you work using the latest industry practices, tools and technologies, while collaborating in our mature Agile environment alongside specialists from other disciplines.

Additionally, we expect Lead Quality Engineers to possess advanced technical expertise, strong problem-solving abilities, and a proven track record of leading complex engineering projects. This role requires a deep understanding of engineering principles, quality assurance, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic environment.

Hybrid working: Your working location will vary depending on your role, personal needs, and business requirements. This will typically include a mix of company offices, client sites, and remote work from home. If your location is Telford or Worthing (please note the Worthing office will relocate to Brighton & Hove in the second half of 2026) you will be expected to work from the office between 40% and 70% of the time.

For all other locations you need to be prepared to come into the Telford or Worthing office once to twice a month (Lead engineers more frequently). As we align closely with customer requirements-which may change over time-you will need to remain flexible. Please note that fully remote working (100% from home) is not permitted.
