SYSTEMS & AUTOMATION ENGINEER

ASystems & Automation Engineer is needed to join The Surgical Consortium, an ambitious healthcare technology business transforming the way surgical services are delivered across the NHS. This is a rare opportunity to build the systems, integrations and automation that help reduce waiting lists and improve patient care at scale.

The Surgical Consortium partners with NHS Trusts to maximise the use of operating theatres, delivering additional surgical capacity through innovative clinical services. As the organisation continues to grow, technology is becoming increasingly central to everything it does. Rather than simply supporting existing systems, the business is investing heavily in automation, AI and modern cloud technologies to create smarter, more efficient ways of working.

This is a brand new role reporting directly to the Managing Director , giving you genuine ownership of the company's internal technology landscape. You'll identify inefficient manual processes, design robust technical solutions, build integrations between business critical platforms and continually improve the systems that keep the organisation running. This is a hands-on engineering role, nota management or strategy-led role so expect to be getting into the detail, writing and debugging integrations, fixing issues quickly and shipping working solutions.

Working across Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS and a growing SaaS ecosystem, you'll develop API integrations, automate workflows, improve data flows and implement AI powered solutions that remove repetitive work and improve operational reliability. You'll be equally comfortable debugging an API issue, designing a new automation or building maintainable solutions using modern development practices and version control.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys solving real business problems through technology. You'll have the freedom to experiment, implement new ideas and make a visible impact within a fast growing organisation where decisions happen quickly and good ideas become reality.

Key Requirements: We're looking for a Systems & Automation Engineer, Integration Engineer, Technical Operations Engineer, Platform Engineer or similar with a CV that demonstrates...

• Strong experience building systems integrations using REST APIs, JSON and webhooks
• Hands on experience with Microsoft 365, Azure and/or AWS
• Experience designing automation workflows using platforms such as Make.com, Power Automate or similar
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across cloud platforms and SaaS applications
• Experience using GitHub or similar version control systems alongside structured deployment practices
• A good understanding of databases, data structures and system integration principles
• Scripting experience using Python, JavaScript, PowerShell or similar
• A proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership of technical challenges and deliver practical solutions

Experience with Airtable, Monday.com, AI integrations, Databricks or healthcare technology environments would be advantageous but is not essential.

In return, you'll join an ambitious, technology driven business where your work will have a direct impact on improving healthcare delivery across the UK. Expect a competitive salary of £70,000 to £85,000 depending on experience, flexible hybrid working with no fixed office days, 22 days holiday plus Christmas shutdown, Nest Pension, a brand new MacBook, and the opportunity to help shape the future technology platform of a rapidly growing organisation. Sponsorship may be considered for exceptional candidates.
