Test Lead, Warehouse Automation Programme (x2) Location:UK | Contract: 6 months | Rate: Statement of work Engagement - Outside IR35 Bright Purple is supporting a major warehouse automation implementation programme and we’re looking for two experienced Test Leads to take ownership of testing across the delivery. This is a senior role for someone who has led testing in live operational environments and knows what it takes to get complex automation into a working warehouse. You’ll lead a relatively junior test team, so you’ll bring structure, direction and strong QA standards, while staying hands-on with the testing yourself. What you’ll be doing You’ll lead and guide the test team, setting the approach and making sure testing is planned, structured and delivered properly. You’ll test complex systems and business processes in a live operational setting, take ownership of testing activities from start to finish, and give the programme confidence in quality at every stage. Coaching and developing less experienced testers will be a big part of the role. What we’re looking for Proven experience as a Test Lead, managing and guiding testing teams Strong operational QA testing background, ideally within warehouse, logistics or operational environments Hands-on experience testing complex systems and business processes in live settings Experience leading testing on large-scale operational or automation programmes A strong delivery focus and the confidence to take ownership What will really make you stand out Warehouse automation experience is the key thing here. Experience with Exotec Skypod Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems is the ideal match. If you haven’t worked with Skypod but have strong experience with other robotic warehouse management or automation systems, we’d still very much like to hear from you. Interested?
