It's a varied job that keeps you super technical and excited., In addition to DevOps skills, there are essential core skills you need to be an Opencast consultant. You'll need to demonstrate how you: * Contribute to improving ways of working and driving continuous improvements within your teams. * Share knowledge and best practice with fellow consultants, including proactively engaging in client and Opencast communities of practice. * Positively challenge decisions or solutions you don't agree with, striving for the best client outcome. * Create lasting value in the projects you work on, ensuring a user-centric, sustainable approach. * Engage with Opencast in a meaningful way, supporting the growth of your practice and wider capability. * Support Opencast's growth plans, by providing case studies and updates into the relevant forums of your project work.
