Express Recruitment Opportunity
Express Recruitment are delighted to be representing a rapidly growing automation and controls specialist who are continuing to expand their software capability across the UK.
About the Role
Our client is looking for an experienced Test Engineer / QA professional to take ownership of software quality across the delivery of complex warehouse automation projects. You’ll be testing software that directly controls live warehouse equipment, making this a particularly hands-on role where identifying issues before deployment is critical. This is a rapidly growing industry and offers the opportunity to join a growing business allowing for future career development beyond this position.
Key Responsibilities
- Working alongside Software Developers, Business Analysts, and Commissioning Engineers, you’ll be involved throughout the project lifecycle, from interpreting requirements and developing test scenarios through to pre-deployment validation, commissioning, and go-live.
- A major focus will also be developing the company's automated testing capability and increasing test coverage across future releases.
- Due to the project-based nature of the position, there will be occasional requirements to support customer implementations and go-lives, including some out-of-hours work when required. Candidates must be based within a commutable distance (3 days per week minimum) of the Nottingham office.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Skills & Experience
- Candidates should be eligible to pass BS7858 Vetting – which requires 5 years UK continuous address history and the client does not offer Visa Sponsorship opportunities.
- Commercial software testing experience encompassing both hands-on functional testing and automated QA.
- Experience using modern automation or API testing technologies such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or Postman essential.
- Comfortable working with databases and SQL, ideally within PostgreSQL environments, alongside experience using structured defect tracking tools such as Jira.
- Strong understanding of testing interconnected software systems, APIs, and third-party integrations, with exposure to CI/CD environments beneficial.
- Previous exposure to warehouse automation, WCS/WMS, logistics, or industrial software would be highly advantageous, alongside familiarity with technologies such as .NET, C#, Python, Django, Blazor, or RabbitMQ.
