Summary
About the role
The Global Infrastructure Team design, develop and operate the Technology Infrastructure which underpins Tesco’s ability to serve customers and support colleagues. Our responsibilities span technologies across data centres, offices, stores and distribution centres and the global network which connects them. The global team is distributed across the UK, Central Europe, and India. The Infrastructure Delivery Team manages the delivery of Infrastructure changes across Technology. During a year the team works on over 100 different projects (with approx. 40-50 concurrently at any one time). These span across the whole of our businesses from stores, distribution and office. This is a key role which will involve engagement with engineering teams based in the UK, Central Europe, and India as well as a range of stakeholders across all the Tesco Businesses. You will be responsible for delivering the Infrastructure required to support our key technology delivery.
At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
