Enter corrective commands and assist operators in resolving system and terminal issues

Provide technical guidance to remote terminal operators on system startup, operations, and error correction
Assist in planning and installation of new computer hardware, including cabling, power requirements, and physical layout
Operate and monitor mainframe components, including tape drives, disk drives, printers, and consoles for error diagnostics
Use diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, monitors, and patch panels to troubleshoot teleprocessing issues
Assist with job scheduling and space/resource allocation to optimize system efficiency
Support recovery operations in the event of system failure or data loss; assist programmers with system recovery and testing
Maintain and update program libraries, monitor outputs, and report system anomalies
Train new and existing technical staff on operations procedures and error resolution techniques
Prepare and maintain technical reports on system operations, equipment issues, and performance statistics
Minimum Qualifications:
Education and Experience:
Associate's degree from an accredited college or technical institute in one of the following or related areas:
Computer Operations, Electronics, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Communications Technology, Systems Analysis, Business Data Systems, or related fields
AND three (3) years of full-time experience in at least one of the following areas:
Identifying/documenting/analyzing operational problems on mainframe systems
Manual operation and monitoring of mainframe or midrange systems and peripherals
Installation/maintenance of computing hardware and peripherals (e.g., terminals, modems, printers)
Training, assigning, or evaluating technical staff in a computing environment
Providing technical support for desktop or mini-computer environments
At least one year of the experience must involve mainframe error identification and resolution
Substitution Options:
Up to two years of qualifying full-time experience may substitute for the Associate's degree requirement on a year-for-year basis
