• Document runner, platform, environment and dependency requirements necessary for squad and integration delivery.

• Implement environment-readiness patterns and Ansible runbooks across squad and integration environments.

• Address handover gaps by documenting criteria, responsible owners, dependencies, approval processes and service-readiness evidence.

2. Automation Governance and Performance Monitoring

• Maintain tests, documentation, safe change practices and version control for automation assets.

• Monitor environment-readiness lead time, self-service fulfilment, handover delays and adoption of standard patterns.

• Ensure automation scripts, playbooks, runbooks and templates are properly committed, reviewed and documented.

• Promote the reuse of environment-readiness patterns across technology squads and supported integration initiatives.

4. Platform Migration and Modernisation

• Execute approved migration activities, capacity-change coordination, Ansible remediation tasks and shared-platform improvements.

• Validate migration targets, HA/DR consistency, runbook evidence and future upgrade schedules.

• Contribute to platform modernisation standards, migration lessons learned and reusable operational procedures.

5. Infrastructure Resilience and Troubleshooting

• Support capacity, performance, Disaster Recovery (DR), Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and resilience validation with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Infrastructure teams.

• Troubleshoot automation, configuration, lifecycle, migration and shared-service issues affecting delivery teams.
