About Mo Works

n

Our mission is to empower those building a better future.

n

Mo Works is a creative digital consultancy, not a traditional agency.

n

We work with organisations across utilities, energy, education, health, public sector, logistics and complex B2B environments, combining strategy, brand, marketing and digital delivery under one roof.

n

Our digital work spans websites, web applications, mobile applications, CMS platforms, integrations, cloud environments and ongoing digital enablement.

n

We're looking for someone who can take ownership of the technical quality behind that work.

n

About the Role

n

The Technical Delivery Lead is a hands‐on role responsible for technical implementation quality, feasibility and engineering standards across digital projects.

n

You'll work closely with our Business Analyst / Solutions Designer, Account Project Managers, designers and developers to make sure requirements are technically feasible, estimates are realistic and builds are delivered to the right standard.

n

You will guide developers, review implementation quality, support technical planning, oversee QA and releases, and identify technical risks before they become delivery problems.

n

You'll also contribute directly to technical problem‐solving, code and estimates review, diagnosing issues, architecture discussions and production support where required.

n

This role suits an experienced developer ready to take greater ownership of technical delivery without moving away from hands‐on engineering.
