Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Database Administrator for NATO with security clearance

A multinational defence organisation runs its core business services on Oracle E-Business Suite, and it is looking for an applications database administrator to take ownership of that estate. You would work under the service owner and service delivery manager, on-site in Braine-l’Alleud, Belgium. What you will do

• Take responsibility for the assigned business applications and services end to end.
• Provide 2nd and 3rd line support: respond to service requests, investigate and resolve incidents and problems, and explain the fix - and the better way of working - to users.
• Contribute to gathering, analysing, designing and documenting new requirements and change requests.
• Write and review requirement definitions, functional and technical design documents and system specifications.
• Give realistic time estimates for new development, and run full lifecycle testing on every change before it reaches user acceptance.
• Contribute across service lines wherever integration work is needed, and give briefings and presentations on what you have built.

• Substantial hands-on experience administering Oracle E-Business Suite applications - patching, cloning, performance, configuration and the database beneath them.
• A support background strong enough for 3rd line: you are the person the escalation reaches.
• The analytical side as well as the operational one - requirements, design documentation and change control are part of the job, not an afterthought.
• Comfort working in a structured, process-driven environment with formal testing gates.
• Fluent business English and the ability to work in a multinational team.
