Nigel Wright Group
Company
Our client is a large, established North East organisation undertaking a significant technology modernisation programme. With a strong focus on innovation, digital transformation and operational excellence, the business develops and maintains a suite of bespoke applications that support critical business operations across multiple sites and locations.
The organisation offers long-term career opportunities, a collaborative culture and the chance to influence the direction of technology within a complex and evolving environment. The position is based in the Teesside area, with a flexible hybrid working model following an initial onboarding period.
Role
This is a hands-on technical leadership position, combining software engineering, architecture and stakeholder engagement. You will take ownership of the design, development and delivery of business-critical applications while helping shape the future technology strategy of the organisation.
Key responsibilities include:

- Working closely with business stakeholders to gather requirements, challenge assumptions and deliver effective solutions.
- Providing technical leadership and oversight to both internal teams and third-party development partners.
Salary is depending on experience but likely to be around £60,000. The role will require some time on site, likely to decrease with time served and not expected to be more than 2 days per week, so locally based candidates would be preferable.

You'll possess:
- Strong commercial experience with C#/.NET, Angular and modern software development practices.
- Experience designing and delivering complex software solutions and technical architectures.

- The ability to influence stakeholders, challenge constructively and drive positive change.
