Capgemini are recruiting for experienced Quality Engineers at a Senior level. We have vacancies for Senior Quality Engineers to join our dynamic team building solutions for our public sector client.

As a member of our self-empowered, multi-disciplined teams, you’ll have the freedom to shape the way you work using the latest industry practices, tools and technologies, while collaborating in our mature Agile environment alongside specialists from other disciplines.

Hybrid working: Your working location will vary depending on your role, personal needs, and business requirements. This will typically include a mix of company offices, client sites, and remote work from home. If your location is Telford or Worthing (please note the Worthing office will relocate to Brighton & Hove in the second half of 2026) you will be expected to work from the office between 40% and 70% of the time. For all other locations you need to be prepared to come into the Telford or Worthing office once to twice a month (Lead engineers more frequently).
