A Systems Analyst develops applications; implements software packages, integrates applications, and provides 24x7 application support. Collaborates on all phases of the software development life-cycle (SDLC) with a focus on the application design, development, and implementation phases. Utilizes appropriate development tools and technologies in keeping with the IT architecture.

Support TECO's energy control center mainly by managing GE's E-terra EMS (Energy Management System). The real‑time system helps TECO manage the transmission and generation assets that make up the Bulk Electric System for Tampa. Responsibilities include administering and supporting the system for operators in the control center, handling data from the EMS to external departments (requiring programming and database interactions), and supporting smaller ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) applications as needed.

Advancement to a higher level is based on value added to the Company through increased duties, responsibilities, and accomplishments. Advancement is not automatic, i.e., based solely on time in the job, but will be based on direct observation of the employee's performance, accomplishments, qualifications, and the business and/or technical needs of the department.

Most work is performed in an office environment, but occasional travel to operating locations is required.
