Group IT QESTLab Java Developer in Christchurch

QESTLab is transitioning from a desktop application to a web-based application requiring significant development using vendor created tools, team collaboration and your extensive Javascript capabilities.

About the role

You will develop new Java based web forms to match and improve the current desktop “test screens”, ensuring they comply with both test method requirements and ISO 17025. You will work closely with the software vendor to understand the new web application structure, tools and processes to build high quality solutions in a complex environment. You will collaborate closely with the internal team and the Senior Systems Analyst, to scope the functional requirements while you build, document, and deliver a high-quality output from the get go. For this fixed-term, full time role, the successful candidate can be based in either our Auckland or Christchurch office.

Key responsibilities

• Build strong working relationship with our vendor and develop an expert understanding of the app and its functional requirements.
• Design and build web forms to comply with test methods and business requirements.
• Document the development process, patterns and decisions.
• Train the internal team to maintain, support and further develop the app.

We’re looking for someone with

• Proven Java development experience working on complex projects in large organisations.
• Ability to learn and navigate a vendor toolkit/platform and work effectively with external partners.
• Experience building or integrating with business‐critical systems where accuracy and validation really matter.
• Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to communicate clearly with a range of stakeholders.
