I am working with a global key client within Financial Services who are looking for a seasoned SYBASE DBA Consultant to join their team for a long-term renewable contract.
You will play a key part in the operational support, maintenance, planning, design, implementation and enhancement of over 100 Sybase Dataservers regionally. You'll be part of a team of EMEA based DBAs supported by offshore DBAs in Asia and America, providing development support alongside 1st 2nd level production support which is provided on a 24 * 7 rotation basis. The team also work with Sybase teams in US APAC to support various global applications.
This position will pay £650-700 per day inside IR35 and will start in January with the first renewal date being at the end of 2025. Based in Camberley, Surrey, you will need to live within 90 minutes of the office as you will be required to work in the office for one day per week.
Regular Activities
You'll require excellent communication skills are essential as DBAs work closely with business users and application support engineers as well as partnering with other infrastructure groups and Sybase teams in different regions. Understanding of components of technology infrastructure, different working environments and operational culture is also required. There is a 1 week in 4 on call rota when the assigned primary contact is required¿ to be contactable, in a 15 minute response time. The DBA Team are working on the analysis phase of the Bank's Sybase Exit (SybExit) program which you'll require in your skillset:-

My first recommendation to you is to read the attached job description and update your CV by expanding on the areas that the client sees as important. Hiring managers will always select candidates to interview based on how close their CV is to the job, so don't lose the interview slot you deserve to someone with less experience in this busy market!
Make sure that you write about why you are suitable for the job in your profile and list how you have covered the key skills required on each job. With big corporate clients, this is very important and can result in a higher day rate or indeed the difference between your CV being discarded and a long-term role for many years. Do not undersell yourself on your CV!
I am unable to accept sponsored candidates or candidates who required sponsorship or overseas candidates for this role.
