About the role

We are looking for an experienced Business Central Software Developer to join our internal ERP team and help develop Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central across a growing, multi-entity engineering services group.

You will work alongside the Business Central Lead, a Functional Consultant, and a Junior Developer, delivering solutions across finance, projects, procurement and operational systems.

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on technical ownership. You will take development from an agreed business requirement through solution design, build, testing and release, working across AL extensions, APIs, integrations, workflow automation and existing customisations.

As a Business Central Software Developer, you will

  • Design, develop and maintain Business Central extensions in AL.
  • Take technical ownership of development from requirement through to deployment.
  • Build and support APIs and integrations between Business Central and operational systems.
  • Work with the Business Central Lead and Functional Consultant to turn business requirements into pragmatic, maintainable solutions.
  • Develop functionality supporting finance, project accounting, procurement, approvals and operational reporting.
  • Investigate and resolve defects, integration failures and issues within existing customisations.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify existing solutions and make better use of standard Business Central functionality.
  • Produce maintainable, well-documented code using source control, peer review and agreed development standards.
  • Support testing and structured release activities.
  • Work effectively across a multi-company Business Central environment.
  • Collaborate with and support the Junior Developer through knowledge sharing and code review.

About you

You will have solid commercial experience developing solutions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. We are looking for someone operating at mid-level or above who is comfortable working independently, taking ownership of technical delivery and contributing to solution design.

You will ideally have experience in several of the following:

  • AL development and Business Central extension architecture
  • APIs, web services and external integrations
  • Events and extensibility patterns
  • Git and source-controlled development
  • Debugging and performance troubleshooting
  • Finance, purchasing, sales or project functionality in Business Central
  • Multi-company Business Central environments
  • Supporting solutions in a live production environment
  • Code reviews and supporting less experienced developers

Experience with cloud platforms or middleware such as Azure or AWS would be beneficial.

Experience within engineering, utilities, construction or another project-based organisation would also be useful, but is not essential.

Above all, we are looking for someone who can combine strong Business Central development skills with practical judgement and a focus on building reliable, maintainable solutions.

About Ipsum

At Ipsum, we provide specialist engineering services across the UK’s regulated water and energy companies and private sector businesses.

We work with our customers to maintain, optimise and develop their above and below ground assets to ensure security and resilience, and with our smart systems and ways of working, we ensure we deliver on time, on budget and safely.

At Ipsum, we develop long-term working relationships with our customers by providing essential utility services on both public and private networks. We have many long-term contracts and framework arrangements in place which are built upon great customer service, safe working practices and the ability to flex and deploy specialist skillsets at short notice.

The growth of Ipsum has been built upon our people and our ability to meet the demanding and ever-changing needs of our customers. The UK utility sector is evolving and expanding to meet increasing customer demand, regulatory-driven outcomes and to exploit new innovative technologies, at Ipsum we will continue to grow in this sector by being a reliable, flexible and agile service partner that helps customers meet these new challenges.

As we know, utility service provision is not a 9 to 5 business, our customers don’t switch off their networks or assets at night, or at the weekends, or on holidays, or when things are quiet. They need them to work round the clock – and we at Ipsum are right beside them 24/7 to make sure they do.

We pride ourselves in providing specialist scheduled maintenance services, being able to respond to an individual call-out or mobilise onto a major upgrade project and that our customers can rely on Ipsum 24/7/365.
