The borwell business is going from strength to strength.  As a result we are advertising a career in software engineering with several entry pathways.

Whether you have taken A-levels, an ND, HND or a Level 3 Apprenticeship, all these career paths lead to a career in software engineering at a reputable UK based software house - borwell. We are also a proud supporter of the Armed Forces Covenant.

The growth is mainly demand from existing customers as well as new customers too. Our teams are looking for people with the potential to grow into a professional software engineering team member.

Working in Agile teams of 2-4, a Project Leader provides the technical lead and interface with the customer, and the internal Project Manager.

Working to quality & cost first and foremost, time pressure is removed by phasing of 'sprints' of functionality to satisfy chunks of customer requirements. The tools, hardware and methodology we use allows our teams to produce high quality solutions, which truly innovate our customer's business.

• Monday - top up the urn, get the coffee on;  Scrums between 09:00 and 10:30.  Project Leaders, PM and the MD hold a weekly scrum 09:30-10:00.  Monday afternoon sometimes a visitor, but usually most people are in the office
• Tuesday - morning scrums; getting work done through the day.  MD away on business somewhere or other.  PM 'on it' and supporting the delivery teams
