We’re supporting a major transformation programme seeking an experienced Non-Functional Test (NFT) Environment Specialist to help deliver stable, resilient, and production-aligned test environments across a complex enterprise estate.
This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, testing, operational resilience, and platform engineering, supporting critical non-functional testing activities including performance, resilience, scalability, and failover testing.

- Support performance, resilience, failover, and scalability testing activities
- Coordinate environment provisioning, refreshes, deployments, and integrations
- Work closely with DevOps, infrastructure, QA, engineering, and cybersecurity teams

- Ensure environments remain stable, secure, and production-aligned
- Support environment automation and CI/CD integration where appropriate

What’s Important
This role would suit someone who is calm under pressure, technically grounded, and comfortable operating in large-scale enterprise environments where resilience, control, and stability matter.
You’ll be joining a programme focused on modernisation, operational confidence, and long-term platform resilience rather than short-term delivery theatre. Rare. Endangered species, really.
