NPA WorldWide is supporting a leading technology consultancy in its search for an experienced AWS DevOps Technical Consultant. This opportunity is suited to a hands-on technology professional who enjoys building secure cloud environments, improving delivery practices, and guiding teams through complex technical projects.
About The Company
The consultancy delivers technology solutions for high-profile UK Government and Defence projects. Its teams work in a fast-paced Agile environment, building secure, reliable platforms and services that support critical customer needs.

About The Role
As an AWS DevOps Technical Consultant, you will provide hands-on technical leadership across the design and delivery of new cloud infrastructure, automated pipelines, and shared platform services. This is a build-focused role rather than one centred solely on maintaining existing environments. You will work closely with customers, engineers, and senior stakeholders to shape technical solutions and deliver them throughout the full project lifecycle.
You will help teams deploy and operate containerised applications, improve automation, and establish secure, repeatable ways of working. The role also offers the opportunity to mentor colleagues and contribute to Agile practices across delivery teams.
Qualifications
* Strong commercial experience designing and delivering solutions on AWS.
* Proven experience building new cloud infrastructure, rather than only supporting established environments.
* Practical experience applying Infrastructure as Code principles, ideally with Terraform.
* Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and containerisation.
* Hands-on experience with technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
* Good understanding of AWS security principles and secure deployment practices.
* Experience working in Agile teams, with knowledge of approaches such as Scrum and Kanban.
* Ability to lead technical solutions, take ownership of delivery, and communicate effectively with customers and stakeholders.
* Experience mentoring, coaching, or supporting other engineers.
* Applicants must be British citizens, have lived permanently in the UK for the past five years, and be eligible to obtain UK security clearance.
Responsibilities
* Design, build, and manage secure AWS cloud infrastructure for customer projects.
* Create and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines that enable reliable software delivery.
* Develop reusable infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code, supporting consistency and repeatability.
* Build and operate shared platform services for containerised applications, deployment, monitoring, and operations.
* Support software releases and help teams improve system performance, resilience, and operational practices.
* Lead technical delivery through project discovery, design, implementation, and handover.
* Advise customers on AWS architecture, technology choices, and secure deployment approaches.
* Manage senior stakeholder relationships and ensure key project deliverables remain on track.
* Mentor engineers and contribute to a collaborative, learning-focused team environment.
* Promote effective Agile practices, including Scrum and Kanban, throughout delivery.
Benefits
The anticipated annual salary is £60,000 to £80,000, depending on experience. The package includes flexible working arrangements across a 37.5-hour week, a learning budget for training, certifications, and conferences, private healthcare, and a matched pension. You can also take part in monthly social events and quarterly company meetups. The role offers scope for career development in a fast-moving and meaningful sector, supporting important Government and Defence programmes.
