The ideal candidate
You will be experienced Agile practitioner and passionate about delivering value and confident enough to identify issues and propose solutions pro-actively. Experience working in the Utilities sector would be advantageous but is by no means essential. Scrum Master and real-world experience of CRM implementation (either external or internal) would be desirable as would previous exposure to Docker or other containerisation technologies.
If you’re ready to be part of a passionate, collaborative team that’s driving change in the energy sector, we’d love to hear from you.
