About Scrumconnect Consulting Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy whose work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens. We deliver impactful technology solutions across UK government departments, working at the forefront of user-centred design, agile delivery, and scalable digital services that genuinely make a difference. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Work on a high-impact UK public sector digital programme, delivering services used by millions Opportunity to be based in Swansea, with relocation support of up to £5,000 Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates Strong focus on work-life balance with a flexible hybrid model (3 days onsite) Be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary agile environment alongside civil servants and industry experts Based in Swansea, South Wales - three days per week on-site This role requires three days per week at our client's Swansea offices and we want to be straightforward about that.

Technical Environment Manager FTE London, UK (Hybrid) Description: A Technical Environment Manager (TEM) is responsible for transforming the SDLC environment with engineering-focused role that emphasizes system reliability, automation, and performance in a non-production setting. Operational responsibilities Automate environment life cycle: Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate the provisioning, teardown, and configuration of test environments, integrating them with the CI/CD pipeline. Establish service level objectives (SLOs): Define and measure key service indicators (SLIs) for test environments, such as availability and provisioning time, to ensure they meet the needs of development and testing teams. Monitor environment health and performance: Use observability tools like Prometheus and Grafana to track the health of test environments, identify bottlenecks, and resolve issues proactively, not reactively. Manage incident response: Lead the incident management process for test environment issues, conducting blameless post-mortems to understand the root causes and implement lasting fixes. Minimize toil: Automate manual, repetitive tasks associated with test environments to free up engineering time for more strategic work. Strategic and cultural responsibilities Drive continuous improvement: Analyze environment performance data, incident reports, and post-mortems to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation. Balance reliability and speed: Use an "error budget" for test environments. If environments are highly reliable, teams can use the budget for quicker feature development. If reliability is low, the focus shifts to improving stability. Instil a reliability culture: Promote a blameless culture around test environment incidents, encouraging shared ownership and collaboration between development, QA, and SRE teams. Capacity planning: Anticipate the future resource needs of test environments by analysing usage patterns and project forecasts. Ensure the infrastructure can scale to meet demand. Advance test data management: Work with Test Data Managers to ensure that test data is not only readily available but also consistent, compliant, and automatically provisioned with the environments.

Technical Environment Manager FTE London, UK (Hybrid) Description: A Technical Environment Manager (TEM) is responsible for transforming the SDLC environment with engineering-focused role that emphasizes system reliability, automation, and performance in a non-production setting. Operational responsibilities Automate environment life cycle: Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate the provisioning, teardown, and configuration of test environments, integrating them with the CI/CD pipeline. Establish service level objectives (SLOs): Define and measure key service indicators (SLIs) for test environments, such as availability and provisioning time, to ensure they meet the needs of development and testing teams. Monitor environment health and performance: Use observability tools like Prometheus and Grafana to track the health of test environments, identify bottlenecks, and resolve issues proactively, not reactively. Manage incident response: Lead the incident management process for test environment issues, conducting blameless post-mortems to understand the root causes and implement lasting fixes. Minimize toil: Automate manual, repetitive tasks associated with test environments to free up engineering time for more strategic work. Strategic and cultural responsibilities Drive continuous improvement: Analyze environment performance data, incident reports, and post-mortems to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation. Balance reliability and speed: Use an "error budget" for test environments. If environments are highly reliable, teams can use the budget for quicker feature development. If reliability is low, the focus shifts to improving stability. Instil a reliability culture: Promote a blameless culture around test environment incidents, encouraging shared ownership and collaboration between development, QA, and SRE teams. Capacity planning: Anticipate the future resource needs of test environments by analysing usage patterns and project forecasts. Ensure the infrastructure can scale to meet demand. Advance test data management: Work with Test Data Managers to ensure that test data is not only readily available but also consistent, compliant, and automatically provisioned with the environments.
