HR Notes (10/21/24)

• We are looking for two resources with at least one onshore, ideally in the KC area but would be open to Remote US if they can't get someone local.
• The team needs resources with experience building and implementing complex mainframe job schedules using IBM Z Workload Scheduler (IZWS).
• The team will be moving from CA ESP to IBM Z Workload Scheduler (IZWS), so if resources have CA ESP experience would be a major plus.
• Specialized mainframe skills for an upcoming project to move from their existing job scheduling tool to use an IBM tool instead. They don't have anyone in-house with experience with the IBM Tool.
• Duration of the project would last at least a year and would potentially be open to a temp to perm resource for the right candidate(s) but don't think a deal breaker if more of consultant resource.
• Run several Million jobs/month.

NOTE - They are still working on getting the funding approved but would ideally like resources to start before the end of year if things can come together. 80% likely to be approved, since they DO NOT have anyone internally who can help with a task that MUST BE completed.

Why are the positions open?

• They have been talking about this task/role for a year. IBM proposed to do work which was too expensive.

A couple of internal teams tried with no luck. They don't have any resources who are able to help and complete the work.
