We're seeking an experienced Development Engineering professional to step into a contract Team Leader position through to January. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on keeping a busy team running smoothly and lifting the quality of technical output across the board.
The role
Reporting to the Manager, you'll take day-to-day ownership of a team of 4-5 junior engineers. Your focus will be on:
Allocating and prioritising work across the team to keep assessments and referrals moving
Providing peer review and technical guidance, mentoring junior staff and lifting the consistency and quality of their work
Supporting the delivery of a small number of service review objectives (with the Manager working alongside you on this piece)
This is very much a leadership and quality-assurance role rather than a heavy caseload position (although you will still have some technical workload) - your value is in developing the team, keeping standards high,



and making sure work is allocated sensibly.
About you
Background in Development Engineering, ideally within a Local Government setting (or consultancy)
Comfortable reviewing others' work and giving transparent, constructive feedback
Organised and pragmatic when it comes to allocating and prioritising a team's workload
A steady, supportive presence for junior engineers finding their feet
Council experience in a Development Engineering environment is strongly preferred, but we're open to candidates from closely aligned backgrounds who can demonstrate the right technical and leadership foundations.
The offer
A contract engagement through to January, with the opportunity to lead a capable junior team and make a genuine impact on how the function operates.
