Lead Infrastructure Engineer

Who you are — the behaviours we're hiring for

This is the part that matters most. We have strong engineers; what we are specifically looking for here is a lead who role-models the behaviours we want the wider team to grow into.

You set the standard, visibly. You define expectations clearly and up front — "here is how this should be done" — and you hold yourself to it publicly before you hold anyone else to it.

You communicate with clarity and calm. Under pressure, in incidents, and in front of leadership, you are the steady, articulate voice that brings order. You write and speak so that the right people understand the right thing at the right time.

You own outcomes in the open. You take public accountability for the estate's performance — good and bad — without defensiveness or blame. People trust your word.

You inspire by example. Other leads should look at how you operate and want to work that way. You lift the standard of those around you simply by how you show up.

You lead beyond your desk. Your influence reaches across the global platform organisation, not just your own site or timezone.

These map directly to the Maersk values — Constant Care, Humbleness, Uprightness, Our Employees and Our Name — and we will interview hard against them.
