Test Engineer

Are you passionate about building quality into every release through smart test strategies and scalable automation? Then join us in our mission to pioneer smarter solutions for moving and transforming water, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing quality of life for people.

As our new Test Engineer, you will be defining and executing comprehensive test strategies across manual, automation, and performance testing — while building scalable frameworks that elevate quality across the entire development lifecycle.

This role is located in Cambridge.

What you will be doing

As a key part of the Quality Engineering team, you'll create impact by Driving release confidence and engineering excellence by embedding quality at every stage of our Agile delivery pipeline.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Define and implement end-to-end test strategies spanning manual, automation, and performance testing


• Build, scale, and continuously improve a robust automation framework covering UI, API, and data validation layers


• Integrate testing seamlessly into Agile sprint workflows to enable rapid feedback and early defect detection


• Proactively identify, analyse, and address performance and scalability issues before they reach production


• Log, prioritise, and drive defect resolution with minimal leakage into later stages


• Deliver clear, data-driven quality reporting to stakeholders and champion continuous improvement in test efficiency

What makes you a great fit

Above all, you are a quality-driven engineer with hands-on expertise in test automation frameworks, strong analytical skills across UI, API, and data layers, and a track record of embedding testing into Agile workflows. We would also imagine that you have:

• Strong hands-on experience testing web-based user interfaces and end-to-end application workflows.


• Proven experience creating, maintaining, and evolving test scripts, test cases, and documenting test execution results using a test management tool (Xray or similar).


• Experience performing both manual functional testing, exploratory testing, and regression testing as part of sprint delivery.


• Experience setting up automation frameworks, test environments, and integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.


• Proven experience defining and implementing test strategies across manual, automation, and performance testing


• Hands-on experience building and maintaining scalable automation frameworks (UI, API, and data validation) using Playwright, with strong skills in at least one programming language such as Java.


• Experience driving measurable improvements in test efficiency and automation coverage


• Familiarity with data-driven quality metrics and stakeholder reporting
