About the Role

A federal government agency is initiating a transformation in its testing practices by establishing a greenfield test automation capability. This is a rare and strategic opportunity for an experienced Test Automation Specialist to step in and lead the development of automation strategies, frameworks, tooling, and processes.

You’ll be joining a supportive, collaborative environment where your leadership will directly influence quality assurance outcomes across multiple programs. As the organisation currently has limited in-house automation expertise, your role will be critical in both delivery and mentorship.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and implement a Test Automation Strategy tailored to the agency’s environment and long-term objectives.

• Select appropriate automation tools (the team has some past exposure to Selenium, but no tool has been mandated).

• Design and develop scalable automation frameworks to support functional, regression, and integration testing.

• Identify manual test cases and processes suitable for automation and lead the transition.

• Write, maintain, and execute automated test scripts.

• Generate and communicate test results, including reports and metrics, to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaborate across geographically dispersed Agile teams, ensuring test coverage and quality outcomes.

• Review business and system requirements to assess testability and develop clear, concise test plans and test cases.

• Mentor and upskill existing team members (e.g., Test Analysts) in automation practices.

• Participate in defect triage, classification, and escalation as required.

• Ensure compliance with agency standards and contribute to process improvement.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Minimum 6 years of experience in software testing, with strong focus on test automation.

• Proven experience in designing and implementing test automation frameworks across different platforms and technologies.

• Deep understanding of test automation tools such as Selenium, as well as experience evaluating and selecting appropriate solutions.

• Prior experience working in Agile development environments, with knowledge of CI/CD pipelines.

• Demonstrated experience in leading automation initiatives and coaching team members.

• Strong test reporting and defect management skills.

• Ability to liaise with stakeholders across technical and non-technical domains.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Desirable Skills and Qualifications

• Previous experience in the Australian Federal Government or similar regulated environments.

• Familiarity with government security and assurance frameworks.

• Experience in continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) and DevOps environments.

• Tertiary qualifications in IT, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).

Why This Role?

• Greenfield project: Rare opportunity to build an automation capability from the ground up.

• Strategic impact: Be the go-to expert, shaping long-term quality practices.

• Hybrid work flexibility: NSW based applicants welcome.

• Strong contract duration: 12 months initially, with a 12-month extension available.

• Competitive daily rate: Up to $1,100 per day (inc. superannuation).

Additional Information

• Start date: Estimated to begin Monday, 25 August 2025.

• Security Clearance: Must be an Australian Citizen and eligible to obtain Baseline clearance.

• Submissions close: Wednesday, 06 August 2025
