We are seeking an experienced Senior AWS Engineer to join our Professional Services delivery team on a fixed term basis to support the delivery of a major AWS migration and separation programme for an enterprise customer.

This role will form part of a multi-disciplinary delivery team working alongside Solution Architects, Project Managers, and customer technical stakeholders to build, migrate, and deploy AWS infrastructure and application services as part of a structured separation of an existing hybrid estate into a new AWS Organisation.

The successful candidate will play a hands‑on role in delivering landing zone implementation, networking build activities, server migration, and application platform deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approaches.

This is a customer‑facing delivery role within a professional services consultancy environment, not an internal platform engineering position.

Working as a core member of the delivery team, you will be responsible for supporting the build and migration activities required to separate an existing application and infrastructure estate into a newly established AWS environment.

• Demonstrable experience delivering AWS infrastructure solutions within a Professional Services or consultancy environment
• Experience working directly with external customers to deliver AWS migration or transformation programmes
• Hands‑on experience supporting enterprise AWS migration delivery
• Experience supporting structured migration waves within planned migration programmes
• Experience participating in live migration cutovers within production environments
• Willingness and ability to support planned out‑of‑hours migration activities
• Hands‑on experience with AWS landing zone and multi‑account environments
• Experience implementing AWS networking solutions across hybrid environments
• Strong working knowledge of AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) or similar migration tooling
• Experience provisioning AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Cloud Formation and/or Terraform)
• Experience working as part of structured delivery teams aligned to SOW‑driven engagements

• Experience supporting enterprise scale migration programmes
• Experience working with container platforms such as ECS
• Experience supporting DR enablement using AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery
• Experience integrating AWS environments with enterprise identity providers
• Familiarity with Palo Alto firewall deployments within AWS

• Comfortable operating within customer‑facing delivery environments
• Able to work collaboratively within architect‑led delivery teams
• Strong attention to detail when executing build and migration activities
• Able to support structured migration waves including planned out‑of‑hours work
• Pragmatic approach to delivery within fixed‑scope engagements
