General Dynamics is the world's foremost designer and builder of nuclear submarines. We are a team of like-minded people pushing the boundaries of state-of-the-art applications for submarine design, manufacturing and construction. We are seeking proactive and highly organized IT Environment Managers to lead the coordination, stability, and security of our technical environments. You will bridge the gap between Development and Operations teams, ensuring that non-production environments (dev, test, staging) are "fit for purpose" and consistent with production. This role involves managing environment refresh scheduling, streamlining provisioning, and reducing technical debt to support continuous delivery. Our team members must have strong verbal and written communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences. You will grow your skills, work with the cutting-edge technologies and introduce new tools and techniques to the team.

- Release Management: Act as the central point for environment refresh and patch scheduling and coordinating with the release management team.
- Configuration Management: Maintain consistency across environment stacks, and prevent configuration drift.
- Provisioning & Automation: Drive the transition from manual setup to automated processing wherever possible.
- Conflict Resolution: Resolve competing demands from various project teams for limited environment resources.
- Monitoring & Health: Contribute to the implementation of real-time monitoring and alerting for environment availability and performance. Be proactive to identify and lead resolution for bottlenecks.
- Data Management: Manage test data provisioning, ensuring environments can be returned to a known state before testing.
- Stakeholder Management: Liaise with project managers, Development Leads, and Release Management teams to communicate environment availability and risks.
