About the role
Programme Test Engineer – Playwright Automation
Location: London, hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 remote)
Contract: Outside IR35
Day rate: £200-240 per day
Start Date: Immediately
Overview
Are you an automation tester looking for your next step, somewhere you'll own real test coverage on core programmes rather than maintain someone else's scripts?
We're working with a major international food and retail brand that's building out a small Programme Test team. Working alongside the Programme Test Lead, you'll help put an automation-first test strategy into practice and raise coverage across all the major programmes. It's a hands-on role with a good mix of Playwright automation, manual testing and close work with the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain automated test scripts in Playwright.
- Carry out manual testing where needed, bringing an analytical eye to edge cases and potential issues.
- Work with Programme Managers, Product Owners, Business Analysts and end users to shape test scenarios (functional, non-functional, SIT) and UAT scripts.
- Document test outputs clearly and help maintain a central testing knowledge base.
- Collaborate with the wider Programme Test team and programme delivery teams to produce quality testing output.
Requirements
- Proven experience as an Automation Tester, writing unit and functional tests.
- Hands-on experience with Playwright.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions is a plus).
- Understanding of Waterfall, Agile and hybrid delivery, and the SDLC as a whole.
- Strong attention to detail and good written and verbal communication.
- A proven ability to work well as part of a team.
Desirable
- Experience with JIRA, Confluence and GitHub.
- Previous experience in retail, or testing external SaaS products.
- A degree or background in Computer Science or a similar STEM subject.
- ISTQB or a similar qualification.
Why Join?
- Play a key part in core delivery for a well-known global brand.
- Help shape an automation-first approach within a small team, where your work is visible.
- A good balance of automation, manual testing and stakeholder work.
- A people-first culture built on kindness, honesty and genuine care for customers.
- Hybrid working
