• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a small development function.

📍 Location & Working Style:

• Based in Yorkshire – hybrid working available.
• Some onsite presence required due to the hands-on nature of the systems and collaboration with operational teams.
