DevOps Engineer

Initial 6–12 month contract with extension potential

We’re supporting a major transformation programme within aviation and are looking for a Senior Dev Ops / Platform Engineer to join a high-impact delivery team.

This is not a traditional people leadership role. We’re looking for someone who leads through technical depth, ownership and delivery — someone who is comfortable getting hands‑on while helping shape and standardise Dev Ops ways of working across a complex enterprise environment.

You’ll sit within the Crew team and play a key role driving platform delivery, improving operational maturity and helping simplify how engineering teams work across environments.

• Driving hands‑on Dev Ops and platform delivery across the squad
• Building and improving CI/CD pipelines, automation and infrastructure standards
• Supporting operational stability through monitoring, observability and proactive maintenance
• Working closely with architecture, cyber and platform teams to deliver pragmatic outcomes
• Leading infrastructure improvements, environment optimisation and governance alignment
• Creating reusable templates, playbooks and standards to improve consistency across delivery teams
• Troubleshooting complex technical issues and removing blockers where needed

• Strong AWS experience (IAM, networking, ECS/EKS, Terraform, Cloud Formation)
• Background in platform engineering, Dev Ops and infrastructure automation
• Experience with CI/CD tooling such as Git Hub Actions, Jenkins or similar
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (Datadog, Cloud Watch etc.)
• Experience operating in large-scale, complex enterprise environments
• Ability to balance technical delivery with stakeholder management
• Previous experience within consulting environments (MBB or strategy consulting highly valued)
• Exposure to transformation programmes
• Leadership experience is useful but not essential
• Aviation experience welcome but not required

This role would suit someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity, driving standards and staying close to the technology.
