Business System Developer - Power Platform in Glasgow

Crondall Energy is an independent consultancy with 25 years of global experience supporting offshore energy projects. We provide strategic, commercial and technical expertise across the full lifecycle of floating production, subsea systems and offshore developments. Our work spans six core areas: Energy Transition, Offshore Renewables, Floating Production, Subsea & Pipelines, Business Consulting and Technology Development. We advise a wide range of stakeholders including energy companies, investors and law firms helping them manage risk and deliver successful project outcomes. With a strong focus on decarbonisation, we partner closely with offshore operators and developers to drive the energy transition and support progress toward a net-zero future.

The role has flexible working options with hybrid working of at least 3 days per week in our Southampton office. This is a new role as Crondall Energy looks to both modernise our internal processes and develop new tools to deliver services to clients. The role is our first internal developer role and will be very hands-on with development, with the successful candidate designing and developing Power Platform solutions to support our internal teams. The successful candidate will also work closely with the IT Manager to define company development processes, and assist with guidance and training as we upskill staff to work in Power Apps, Power BI and Azure.

After initial improvements to our internal management and administration tools, the developer will work with our engineers directly to design and develop new tools and apps to support their work including new calculation tools, data analysis and working with the IT Manager on automation and AI capabilities. We see this role as a key part of our strategy to modernise work and take advantage of the latest developments in Power Platform, machine learning, and data science. The successful candidate will have a leading role in shaping our development strategy and the role has the potential to evolve into further work directly with our clients, or leading a small team of developers as we expand our approach to developing in-house solutions in the future.

The successful candidate will be able to work independently to design and develop solutions in Canvas and Model Driven apps. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience producing timesheet, project tracking/management, staff management, resource planning and document management solutions.
