Senior Business Applications & Systems Integration Lead Microsoft Platform (Power Platform / Azure)Permanent Warrington (Hybrid - 2 days on-site)£75,000 - £95,000 depending on experience Harvey Nash is proud to be partnered with a fast-growing, people-led construction business that is making a deliberate investment in its internal systems as part of its next phase of growth. Technology is viewed as a core operational enabler - not a side project - and the business is moving away from spreadsheet-heavy processes and disconnected tools towards a joined-up Microsoft platform that genuinely supports how teams work on the ground. This is a practical, operational environment where systems need to work for real workflows, with real consequences. The organisation is seeking a senior, hands-on technical leader to take full ownership of its internal applications and systems integration landscape, and to shape the long-term digital roadmap. This is a heavyweight opportunity offering genuine ownership, autonomy and influence. Why this role exists The business is investing in a foundational internal systems platform to support continued growth and operational scale. This role exists to own that platform end-to-end. You will begin by delivering a bespoke internal application (already scoped and prototyped), before moving into defining and delivering a longer-term digital and systems integration roadmap across the organisation. This is not a delivery-only role, a support role, or a short-term project. It is a hands-on technical leadership position with long-term responsibility and trust. The mission As the Senior Business Applications & Systems Integration Lead you will: • Design, build and own core internal business applications, • Integrate business systems into a coherent, Microsoft-based platform, • Act as the technical authority for how systems are designed, built and evolved, • Embed yourself in the business and shape how technology supports day-to-day operations This role suits someone who still enjoys being technically hands-on, but wants real ownership, influence and long-term impact. What you'll be doing Phase 1: Core Application Delivery • Build a bespoke internal application supporting labour orders, approvals and CIS processes, • Translate operational workflows into robust, maintainable systems, • Own architecture, data models, permissions and long-term design decisions, • Deliver something that scales - not a short-term prototype Phase 2: Digital Roadmap & Integration • Define and lead a joined-up systems integration strategy, • Design APIs, data flows and automations to reduce manual effort and spreadsheets, • Influence which systems are integrated, replaced or rationalised, • Deliver dashboards and reporting underpinned by reliable data Phase 3: Microsoft platform ownership Take ownership of: • Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, • Azure (Functions, Logic Apps, SQL, identity, storage), • Microsoft 365 integrations (SharePoint, Teams, security), • Set standards for architecture, documentation and governance, • Act as the trusted technical voice for senior stakeholders What we're looking for - The Senior Business Applications & Systems Integration Lead must have: • Proven experience designing and building custom business applications, • Strong experience integrating multiple systems via APIs and data flows, • Deep, hands-on experience across the Microsoft ecosystem (Power Platform & Azure), • Senior-level judgement - including knowing what not to build, • Confidence owning systems independently and standing by technical decisions, • Ability to explain complex technical choices to non-technical stakeholders, • Industry background is not important - judgement, ownership and capability are. Why this role stands out • Greenfield build followed by genuine long-term evolution, • Whole-system ownership, not feature-level delivery, • Microsoft-first strategy with freedom to design properly, • Direct access to senior decision-makers, • Low red tape, high autonomy, • Clear opportunity to progress into more senior technology leadership as the business continues to grow
