Software Test and Configuration Manager (OT/IT / Control Systems / Automation / Cloud Integration)

Location: Peterborough / Hybrid
Salary: £90 000+ or can be day rate (£350-£450 a day)
Contract: Minimum 12 months contract

Are you a Software Test Manager, Configuration Manager, or an experienced Test Automation Engineer looking to work at the intersection of OT (Operational Technology) and IT systems? We're hiring for a Software Test and Configuration Manager to lead testing, integration, and configuration of industrial control systems and cloud-connected applications.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a major infrastructure programme where you'll drive the delivery of robust and secure automation systems that combine real-time technologies like PLCs with cloud services such as Microsoft Azure.

Key Responsibilities

Own and implement the Enterprise Control System (ECS) Test Strategy across development, staging, and production environments.
Coordinate and manage end-to-end system testing and configuration for industrial automation platforms.
Develop and use automated test tools and configuration scripts — Python scripting is essential.
Lead integration and fault resolution between PLCs, edge devices, and cloud platforms.
Manage software version control and configuration management systems (CMS), ensuring traceability and compliance with standards (e.g., ISO10007).
Support the deployment of Azure-based cloud applications connected to control systems.
Document test procedures, configuration baselines, and system integration workflows.
Act as a mentor and subject matter expert for junior engineers in automation testing, system validation, and DevOps-style configuration practices.
Engage and communicate with engineering teams, suppliers, and stakeholders to monitor progress and manage risks.

What We’re Looking For
Proven experience in Python scripting for testing, automation, and integration tasks — this is a must-have.
Background in developing software test strategies and policies for complex engineering environments.
Understanding of the software development lifecycle, including the V-model and GAMP 5 principles.
Hands-on experience with real-time control systems (e.g., PLCs) and cloud-based software.
Familiarity with SharePoint, JSON, XML, and high-level languages such as C# or JavaScript.
Experience with version control tools, test automation frameworks, and CMS platforms.

Nice to Have
Experience in technical project management or task planning.
Background in industrial process automation, hydraulic systems, or production optimisation.

Who Should Apply?

You might currently be working as a:
Software Test Manager
Test Automation Engineer (OT/IT)
Configuration Manager
Control Systems Integration Engineer
DevOps Engineer for Industrial Systems
SCADA/PLC Test Engineer
Cloud-Connected Automation Engineer

Why Apply?

This is a highly collaborative, forward-thinking team environment. You’ll be empowered to influence test architecture, improve quality standards, and help deliver reliable systems that keep critical infrastructure running smoothly. If you’re passionate about automation, cloud integration, and applying your technical skills to meaningful projects — this is the role for you

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: a UK and global shortlist of edge infrastructure companies hiring IoT, 5G and edge AI engineers. Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.
