• Setting up Power Platform governance for an organisation whose citizen developers have got ahead of their controls, including environment strategy, DLP policies and the CoE Starter Kit
• Rescuing an app somebody else built that has stopped scaling
• Automating a process with Power Automate that touches SharePoint, Dataverse and a line-of-business system

• Acting as the escalation point for our Tier 1 and Tier 2 specialists, and reviewing their solutions before they reach a customer
• Writing the documentation properly, because the next person needs it and so does the customer

You will report to [practice manager / job title], and you will have real influence over how we deliver, not just what we deliver.

Why this role is worth your time

You will get variety that in-house roles cannot match. Different sectors, different data, different constraints, several projects a year rather than one roadmap.

• Several years of hands-on Power Platform delivery, with a track record of leading projects rather than being assigned tasks on them
• Deep practical experience with Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate and Dataverse
• Solid working knowledge of Power Pages, Copilot Studio, Power BI and how the platform sits inside Microsoft 365
• Real understanding of ALM: solutions, environments, deployment pipelines, source control
• The judgement to tell a customer when the Power Platform is the wrong answer
• Excellent written English, because your documentation will outlive the project
• The confidence to lead a customer workshop and the patience to mentor someone less experienced
• A growth mindset: you welcome feedback, you are comfortable saying you do not know, and you go and find out, * Power Apps: 3 years (required)
• Power Automate: 3 years (required)
• Power BI: 1 year (preferred)

Pulled from the full job description

• Referral programme
• Company events
• On-site parking, Relevant certifications (PL-200, PL-400, PL-600) are welcome. If you have the experience and not the badges, we will get you the badges.

This role is not right for you if

We would rather be straight with you now than waste your time at interview.

• You want to be fully remote.This is a hybrid role with 3 days a week in Brierley Hill (depending on distance), and there will be customer sites.
• You want to write pro-code all day. There is plenty of technical depth here, but this is a low-code platform role with plugins and custom connectors where they earn their place, not a full-time .NET position.
• You dislike writing things down. Documentation is a core part of the job, not an afterthought.
• You want the highest salary on the market. We pay fairly and we are transparent about the band. We are not going to be the top number in the market, and we would rather say so now.
• You want to specialise in one product and never look at anything else. Consultancy means the problem picks the technology, not the other way round.

Pay: £50,000.00-£80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Company events
• On-site parking
