Description
We are seeking a Technical Lead to join our team supporting one of our largest enterprise clients. This is a hands-on technical role, ideal for a senior engineer with strong Oracle and containerisation experience, who enjoys coaching and guiding junior staff without formal line management responsibilities. The role offers the opportunity to work on critical IT infrastructure projects, alongside supporting and enhancing secure, high-availability environments. We offer standard working hours (8-4 or 9-5) and require on-site presence five days per week, although flexibility may be possible for the right candidate.
