Overview of the role

Digital innovation and technical excellence are central to our purpose, and we are known for our digital portfolio across the architecture, engineering and construction sector. We constantly strive to be at the forefront of the intersection between technology and engineering.

As a hands-on Technical Lead in our Connect Projects team you will help shape the product’s technical direction, guide engineering decisions, mentor developers and ensure we build secure, scalable and maintainable software.

This role combines technical leadership with collaboration across product, design, delivery, engineering and Moata platform teams to deliver high-quality capabilities that solve real customer problems.

You will also help identify practical, responsible opportunities to apply AI, improving user experience, streamlining workflows and delivering measurable value.

The Technical Lead will be responsible for providing technical leadership across the Connect Projects team. The role requires someone who can operate at both strategic and hands-on levels: setting technical direction, contributing to architecture, supporting delivery planning, reviewing code and design decisions, and helping the team continuously improve.

You will act as a senior technical point of contact for the team, helping to balance product priorities, platform standards, engineering quality, security, reliability and long-term maintainability. You will also support the growth of engineers in the team by creating a positive engineering culture built on collaboration, learning, constructive challenge and technical excellence.
