You and your role

Imagine starting your day by checking the digital pulse of thousands of mobile devices across DWP. With a quick scan of your dashboards, you know instantly whether everything is running smoothly or if something needs your attention. When a blip appears, you're the one who dives in, investigating, troubleshooting and fixing issues before they ever reach the people who rely on these services to do their jobs. But this role is far more than firefighting. As a Mobile Device Infrastructure Engineer, you help shape the future of DWP's mobile services. You'll design and refine solutions that keep devices secure, compliant and effortless to use, drawing on deep experience with tools like Intune, Workspace ONE and Samsung Knox. Working closely with your product team, you'll influence key decisions and contribute ideas that drive improvements across one of the UK's largest and most diverse tech estates. Throughout the day, you'll be the go‑to expert, explaining how a configuration works, sharing insights, and keeping documentation clear and useful. You'll work with suppliers, spot opportunities for improvement and keep a watchful eye on performance trends. And by the time you finish, you've helped keep a vast mobile ecosystem stable, secure and evolving, often solving problems no one even knew were coming.
