IBM Mainframe Automation and Monitoring SME

The chance

You will lead the migration of the client’s automation and network monitoring tooling to a modern enterprise platform. The stream runs end to end: requirements validation, solution design, migration execution, test input and training delivery to the client’s operations team.

This is lead-level work on a program with genuine scale and a long runway. It will suit a practitioner who has taken a mainframe toolset through a real conversion before and can carry both the technical design and the client conversation.

What you will do

- Validate technical requirements for the automation and monitoring workstream with the client and the delivery team.
- Design and build the migration and deployment approach for each in-scope tool.
- Execute the migration and deployment.
- Support test planning and execution.
- Train client operations staff on the new tooling.

What you will bring





- Demonstrated experience with CA/Broadcom NetView, Ops/MVS, Netmaster and SYSVIEW, or equivalent enterprise mainframe automation and monitoring tools.
- Senior or lead-level z/OS systems programming or automation background.
- A track record leading a tool migration or platform conversion, not just steady-state administration.
- Current NV1 (or above) security clearance and Australian citizenship.

Well Regarded

- Prior experience migrating between major mainframe tooling vendors.
- CICS and MQ performance monitoring exposure.
