• Strong skills in SQL Server administration, SSRS reporting, database optimization, and technical documentation.
• Familiarity with Win-911, ASP.NET, and C# programming.
• A collaborative mindset and ability to communicate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders both verbally and in the development of SOPs.

• Work on mission‑critical systems that protect public health and the environment.

• Enjoy competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the stability of a public sector role.
