Summary

Ready to take ownership, drive innovation, and build the next generation of low code solutions? Join us and be part of a mission that truly matters.

We’re offering an exciting opportunity to join a newly formed team at the forefront of digital transformation within the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

As an Application Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering our Low Code/Power Apps strategy, supporting a wide range of business areas across DWP.

You’ll get hands-on with the Power Platform designing, developing, and managing cutting-edge applications that streamline processes, solve real user challenges, and improve services for millions of people.

In this role, you’ll not only contribute to the design of these vital applications, but also ensure their stability, robustness, and resilience keeping our digital services running smoothly and efficiently.

Please note - As part of the role, you may be required to travel regularly to the other digital hubs. The frequency of this will be discussed further should you be successful.

You will be working as a Power Platform developer in an Agile environment. You will be reporting to a Senior Application Engineer working alongside other application engineers and roles within a delivery squad (Delivery Manager, BAs, DevOps, Architects and Testers).

Your day to day will be supporting applications which have been built using PowerApps and Power Automate, as well as converting old systems into low code applications and building new applications from scratch.

You’ll collaborate with senior developers and own the Application Development Lifecycle Process as part of a delivery team focused on one or more products.

You’ll also be actively participating in improving the capability of the Power Platform team, as well as presenting at Show and Tells to share achievements with the team and stakeholders.

You’ll be collaborating with Stakeholders from within DWP Digital and wider DWP.

You may have line management responsibility for Application Engineer Apprentices in the future.

It would be beneficial to have knowledge of Power BI when starting the role but not essential.
