Contract Automation Tester – Outside IR35 – Edinburgh

Edinburgh | £350 - £400 | Contract

Published: 18.04.24 Ref: 45684_1713449638

Automation Tester required on an initial 3-month contract (Outside IR35) paying £350 - £400 per day.

You will be working for a very specialist organisation who utilise data and AI to offer their customers efficiencies and ultimately lower costs, so this is a chance to work for a niche organisation and should provide some very interesting work. It's a busy time to join as they have been re-shaping their strategy and have identified that their testing process could be a lot slicker, so really need someone with the expertise to drive it forward and make their recommendations about how best to proceed.

Their main goal is to devise and implement automated tests for their in-house software product with the idea that this capability should be repeatable, fully automated and provide significant coverage. As a result, they require someone with previous experience setting up automation test frameworks from scratch.

Initially, the contract will be 3 months with potential for extension beyond this. The role will be office-based; however, they will likely allow the right person to WFH on a Friday.

Responsibilities:

** Writing script for database restoration.

** Developing an automation project with Selenium in C#

** Automating tests for deployment triggers

** Illustrate achievements and scope through practical executions and supporting documentation

Key skills:

** MSSQL

** Ability to write test scripts in SQL

** Selenium WebDriver with C#

** Experience working with image comparison techniques

** Azure DevOps pipeline

The interview process for this one is 2 stages - 1 30min online call and then the other face-to-face. They are looking for someone to start IMMEDIATELY and will be paying between £350 - £400 per day.

If this sounds like something of interest to you, please apply immediately. You can reach me on 0131 510 1500, or alternatively lewis.paterson@cathcarttechnology.com.

Process

Before we assess a candidate and put them forward, we’ll do a phone interview to get a better understanding of the type you’re looking for, your goals and plans.

Preparation

Personal branding is a term you may or may not be familiar with. In our connected world, it pays to be fully prepared for what happens when employees search your name.

Our clients

Candidates

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester
