Job description

We are seeking a Systems Administrator / Operations Support Specialist to join the Operations Control Centre (OCC). This role is critical for the end-to-end monitoring and management of large-scale infrastructure, including Mainframe (z / OS), UNIX, Windows servers, and network devices. You will be responsible for ensuring the availability of essential, time-sensitive, and public-facing applications. The position involves both digital monitoring and physical "Smart Hands" support within the data center cages, including coordinating hardware repairs and managing high-priority incident escalations.

Pay Rate : $330.15- $369.56 / Diem

Advantages

  • Critical Infrastructure Impact : Play a vital role in maintaining the availability of high-visibility, public-facing services.
  • Diverse Technical Exposure : Work across a massive hybrid environment involving Mainframe, UNIX, Windows, and specialized network security cages.
  • Shift Work Stability : Benefit from a structured 24 / 7 / 365 environment with clear escalation paths and vendor support protocols.
  • Professional Growth : Opportunity to participate in Disaster Recovery exercises, audits, and modern "Shift Left" or "Agile Monitoring" initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • 24 / 7 Infrastructure Monitoring : Perform continuous monitoring of mainframe, midrange servers, storage, and network peripherals to ensure availability as per defined SLAs.
  • Mainframe & System Support : Support large z / OS mainframe systems, implementing change requests and taking prompt action to triage outages or escalate to Tier 2 / 3 and vendors.
  • Incident & Change Management : Respond to high-priority incidents, initiate established recovery procedures, and participate in service restoration meetings.
  • Datacenter Physical Support : Provide onsite "Smart Hands" services, including physical intervention to devices in Justice and PKI cages, and escorting vendor support for hardware repairs.
  • Patching & Maintenance : Coordinate and provide operational updates, upgrades, and security patches for various platforms.
  • Audit & Recovery : Participate in yearly SysTrust audits and semi-annual Disaster Recovery (DR) exercises to ensure organizational resilience.
  • Reporting & Analytics : Use Power BI and the Office 365 suite to create operational updates, procedural documentation, and performance reports.
  • Qualifications

  • z / OS Mainframe Expertise : 5–8+ years of demonstrated experience supporting and monitoring large-scale z / OS mainframe systems.
  • Server & Network Management : Broad knowledge of UNIX and Wintel (Windows) server hardware components and end-to-end system management.
  • Service Management Tools : Proficiency with enterprise tools such as eSMT, Remedy, and CIT.
  • ITIL Framework : Strong understanding of ITIL principles, specifically Incident and Change Management processes.
  • Monitoring Tools : Demonstrated experience with system and application monitoring performance tools in a high-pressure environment.
  • Modern Productivity & Data Tools : Proficient in Microsoft 365 for collaboration and Power BI for data visualization and analytics.
  • Communication : Exceptional verbal and written communication skills for technical documentation and executive reporting.
  • Summary

    If you are a Systems Administrator with deep z / OS Mainframe knowledge and the technical versatility to provide "Smart Hands" support in a high-stakes data center, we encourage you to apply today!
