Java 5+ Genuined Expereince And Looking For Job

[linga]

The Manager at Georgia Department of Labor finally needs a Sr. level developer to join his team ASAP, on a LONG* term contract basis.

 

This can be a 5+ year contract

 

One of the things this manager stressed was that even though this is a contract, he looks at each employee as a permanent addition to his team, and as long as they are performing, they can be at DOL for years.

 

This contract is slated until July 1,  2015, but will renew (as long as they are doing well), as DOL renews contracts in 1 year increments on July 1^st of each year…and like I said, he wants this person there for as long as possible.

 

This person will be working on a web application for GA taxes, dealing with Georgia employers’ online transactions.  

 

This person will be working DIRECTLY with end-clients, so they need great communication and analytical skills.

 

The job description mentions mainframe technologies as required, but these are just a HUGE plus.

 

The manager has a couple of huge projects happening right now, and one of them incudes DOL retiring mainframe and going to the cloud, so he would LOVE this Java person to have a mainframe background, but it isn’t required.

 

The job description is below.
