About the job: Step into a role where quality engineering directly strengthens the reliability of essential utility services. As a Quality Engineering Lead, you will partner with cross-functional teams to ensure enterprise platforms and operational systems—from GIS and asset management to SCADA and customer information—deliver consistent, compliant, and high-performing outcomes. You’ll help shape test strategy, guide automation efforts, and drive quality practices that support regulatory expectations and customer trust. This is a collaborative environment where your leadership will influence how teams plan, validate, and release critical capabilities across utilities technology landscapes. If you enjoy bringing structure to complex systems, mentoring others, and turning quality insights into measurable improvements, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while growing your expertise across modern utility platforms. Key Responsibilities: Quality Strategy & Leadership • Lead quality engineering activities across utilities platforms, ensuring consistent test practices and measurable quality outcomes. • Define test strategy, scope, and approach aligned to delivery timelines and regulatory compliance needs. • Mentor testers and collaborate with developers, business analysts, and operations teams to embed quality early in the lifecycle. Test Planning & Execution • Create and maintain test plans, test cases, and traceability for GIS, Maximo, SAP DMS, CC&B/CIS, and SCADA-integrated workflows. • Execute functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing across enterprise and operational technology touchpoints. • Validate data integrity and process flows across systems such as 3GIS/MapInfo, IBM Maximo, and SAP DMS. Automation & Defect Management • Drive automation testing initiatives (including Finacle-IVS automation testing practices where applicable) to improve coverage and release confidence. • Manage defect lifecycle: triage, prioritization, root-cause collaboration, and verification of fixes with clear reporting to stakeholders. Compliance & Operational Readiness • Ensure testing supports utilities regulatory compliance by validating controls, auditability, and documentation readiness. • Support release readiness by coordinating test sign-offs, test evidence, and quality metrics for go-live decisions. Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor of Engineering. • 3–8 years of experience in quality engineering, including leading test execution and coordinating QA activities across teams. • Hands-on experience testing enterprise platforms and integrations involving GIS tools (MapInfo Professional and/or 3GIS). •Working knowledge of IBM Maximo and its business processes
