Technical Service Recovery Lead – 8 week Contract
We’re looking for an experienced Technical Service Recovery Lead to support a large-scale technology resilience and recovery programme.
This is a technically focused role, working across a complex technology estate to understand how critical systems and services are constructed, identify their underlying dependencies, and define how they can be effectively recovered following a major incident.
The initial engagement will focus on discovery and the creation of technical recovery artefacts, providing the foundations for detailed recovery runbooks.
What you’ll be doing:
- Lead discovery sessions with infrastructure, platform and technical teams
- Understand existing recovery capabilities, processes and gaps across the technology estate
- Identify the components and dependencies required to recover systems and services
- Work with CMDB and service information to map applications, infrastructure and supporting technologies
- Gather and consolidate technical recovery information from multiple teams
- Define and document technical recovery processes and requirements
- Create structured recovery artefacts that can be developed into operational runbooks
- Work across technologies including databases, middleware, infrastructure and enterprise platforms
- Ensure recovery documentation reflects how services could practically be restored following a significant incident
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

If you have a strong background in technical service recovery and would like to hear more, please get in touch.
