CHICAGO CANDIDATES ONLY!!

SAP Oracle DBA role will be doing DBA support in a large SAP environment running on Oracle. Will partner with the Basis team/Unix team, etc as needed for implementation of Oracle patches, space, parameter changes, performance and tuning issues, etc. Any additional experience supporting SAP on DB2 is a 'nice to have'. As well, there may be non-SAP DBA work, on both Oracle and SQL Server related to security changes, patching, database creation, database refresh requests, production support, backup and revoery, performance and tuning, etc.

Resume must clearly articulate the size of their previous environments - both # Oracle instances (SAP and non-SAP) and # of SQL Server instances that thaty have supported, as well as size, in TB for the past 2 years. If they have not been responsible for 50 or more instances at one time, do not submit them. This is a fast paced environment, with lots of instances and if they haven't worked with that many in the past, they will not be able to keep up here. Resume must clearly articulate substantial SAP/Oracle work. SAP/Oracle experience must be recent!

This isn't for a specific project. It is production support work for existing databases and applications. So we need someone who has experience doing base support, as opposed to project work. Day to day phone calls and email requests, enhancements and table changes, production to test refreshes, things that are broken and need to be fixed, enhancing existing UNIX monitoring scripts, etc.

Must be a clear communicator - we do tons of conference calls with clients - must be easy to understand. Must be able to juggle multiple priorities and clients at once - I can't stress this enough. HM has replaced 3 people because they said they could do this and they couldn't! Must be a self starter who takes initiative. Be able to do 24x7 support. Must be able to troubleshoot system problems and work quickly to resolve system outages the problem. Excellent communication skills. Ability to work within a large and diverse team in many different cities. Must be able to communicate effectively with different teams and provide courteous customer service. Must be able to achieve results with little supervision. Must be willing to persevere until problems are resolved and seek help from team members when appropriate - 'can do' attitude. Must comply with company policies on change approvals.
