I was the UAT team QA manager.Scrum Master.escalation point.technical go-to contact.
I led the technical test team.
I was the QA manager, Scrum Master and tech leader for a customer-facing team of test engineers and defect managers. In addition to this I was a CAB impact-assessor, as well as the escalation point for our external customers.
I set up and managed the test lab and equipment.
I provisioned and managed the DCC Arqiva test lab and its equipment, including smart electricity and gas meters, communication hubs, pre-payment devices, in-home displays and other diagnostic equipment.
I regularly set and managed senior stakeholder expectations.
I achieved this by maintaining open, honest and regular communication channels with senior project personnel including programme and project managers, directors and various third-party suppliers.
I was a line manager, recruiter and mentor.
I assessed candidate CVs, conducted interviews and made hiring decisions into my team. I also had line manager duties, including resource profiling, workload distribution, timesheet approvals and team development.

Joseph is the focal point of the team and is well respected among his peers. His honesty allows the project to be delivered in the correct manner and utilises his staff to carry out the best work possible.
Joe’s planning and organisation skills were first class when managing the test team and he was always good at problem solving. Joe’s methodical approach ensured the end-to-end testing ran smoothly in the test lab.
As the Team Lead Joe helped to build and develop the team as well as delivering on the technical aspects where he regularly went above and beyond. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Joe.
Joseph is a very capable Team lead who had put together the test team and then went on to mentor and manage it. His ability to clearly articulate and lead the test strategy made him invaluable within the project.
