Role Description

The role has flexible working options with hybrid working of at least 3 days per week in our Southampton office.

This is a new role as Crondall Energy looks to both modernise our internal processes and develop new tools to deliver services to clients. The role is our first internal developer role and will be very hands on with development, with the successful candidate designing and developing Power Platform solutions to support our internal teams. The successful candidate will also work closely with the IT Manager to define company development processes, and assist with guidance and training as we upskill staff to work in Power Apps, Power BI and Azure.

After initial improvements to our internal management and administration tools the developer will work with our engineers directly to design and develop new tools and apps to support their work including new calculation tools, data analysis and working with the IT Manager on automation and AI capabilities.

We see this role as a key part of our strategy to modernise work and take advantage of the latest developments in Power Platform, machine learning, and data science. The successful candidate will have a leading role in shaping our development strategy and the role has the potential to evolve into further work directly with our clients, or leading a small team of developers as we expand our approach to developing in-house solutions in the future.
