Now Hiring - Technical Consultant

Production Modelling is seeking a technically competent, business-aware consultant to join an innovative team focused on the further deployment of Orchestrate and associated application software products.

Duties and Responsibilities

Initially the successful applicant will be expected to:
  • Participate in client meetings to understand and develop a requirements specification 
  • Develop software or models that meet the specification
  • Work to realistic but challenging deadlines
  • Proactively suggest enhancements to our products and services
  • Document existing solutions as well as the solutions that you develop.
  • Provide telephone and web support to clients.

Requirements:

Consulting projects include delivering discrete event simulation and production scheduling software solutions for customers in the UK, Europe and USA. Production Modelling values building strong relationships with its new and existing customers and is focussed on exceeding expectations.

The successful applicant will be highly numerate, and this will most likely be evidenced with a degree (or equivalent qualification) in an appropriate discipline.

The applicant must have good interpersonal skills, and will be able to demonstrate a capability of dealing directly with clients. A logical train of thought is required to synthesise client requirements and formulate matching, cost effective solutions. To assist this process it would be desirable for the applicant to have some experience or knowledge of manufacturing and / or planning and scheduling.

The applicant must be able to translate real systems into the terms that are typically used in a simulation modelling language. This is a skill that is essential in building simulation models.

Ideally the successful applicant will also have some knowledge and experience of simulation software languages.
In any event the successful applicant will need to demonstrate technical competence using one or more of C++, C# or Visual Basic, together with SQL queries and the Microsoft .NET framework. In addition a core competence with Microsoft office programs such as Excel, Word, Access and PowerPoint will be required.

The position is based at our offices at the University of Warwick Science Park in Coventry and may require some travel within Europe and USA.

A full driving license is essential.

Competitive salary and bonus.

Closing Date: 1st October 2012
