• Perform end-to-end IP testing and verification across telecommunications and Windows-based systems.
• Accelerate existing test streams to bring forward key project milestones.

Key Requirements

• Solid technical grounding in Windows environments and Data Centre operational testing.
• Proven track record as a Test Lead / Senior Tester capable of working autonomously without hand-holding.

Rates depend on experience and client requirements
