Hi Partner,
Please send resumes to [email protected]
I have two positions availablein Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I have
attached both job descriptions for you to review. The client will require a
face to face interview so please do not send candidates who will not be able
to meet with the client in person. I strongly prefer to work with local
candidates. The client is focusing more on the Linux Systems Engineer
position over the Unix Systems Engineer position but they will move on both
types of resources.
Title: Unix/Linux Engineer
Duration: contract through the end of the year that will be extended well
into 2012
Rate: $50 per hour
Location: Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Interview Process: Phone interview followed by face to face
Must have at least 5 years of experience. The client would prefer the
candidate to have 7+ years of experience. For the Linux position,
candidates must have migration experience as well as Suse and Veritas
clustering.
AIX is open b/c the mgr is out on medical leave and he was down a lead.
Linux is open because of the growing need for it. They are migrating suse
(small environments) to Linux redhat all the time. They have not seen the
level 3 troubleshooting they need. Typically, they like someone who has
done one or the other. Linux Server experience, veritas in a cluster
environment preferably with linux. Mostly core support for AIX.
