Job Specifications

QA Manual Tester | Manual Testing | Renewable Energy | Hybrid (2 days) in Manchester | 6 month Contract |£500/day Inside IR35

Manual QA is needed for a organisation in the renewable energy sector that’s looking to bring in an experienced Manual QA Tester to help rebuild and strengthen their testing capability.

The QA Manual Tester is a contract opportunity within a business where QA has historically been very siloed, and the focus is now on creating a more flexible, cross-functional testing team.

QA Manual Tester role is heavily manual-testing focused. The immediate priority is catching up on quality through robust, hands-on manual testing across multiple systems. QA Manual Tester will work in an Agile team, closely with developers to ensure everything released is thoroughly tested, rather than being limited to a single application or domain.

Location: Hybrid, Manchester (2 days per week)

Rate: £500/day (Inside IR35)

Contract: 6 month rolling

Key Responsibilities:

Deliver high-quality manual testing across a range of business-critical systems
Perform cross-functional testing, moving between systems as priorities change
Test a mix of vendor releases and bespoke in-house applications
Support regression testing efforts in an environment with no existing automation pack
Work closely with developers to validate all releases, not just top-priority items
Help break down existing QA silos and contribute to building a more cohesive QA function

Ideal background for the Manual QA role:

Strong background as a manual QA Engineer (automation experience not required)
Renewable Energy/Energy sector experience preferred, or strong domain understanding to hit the ground running
Proven experience working across multiple systems, not tied to a single application
Comfortable testing applications built on a Microsoft stack:
C#
SQL
Vue.js
