  • Work directly with business users to understand issues and translate them into technical solutions
  • Ensure system stability, data integrity, and accurate billing operations
  • Participate in on‐call or after‐hours support rotations (as needed)

Required Experience

  • Hands‐on experience with Customer/1 (C/1)required
  • Strong COBOL programming and maintenance skills
  • Background supporting CIS systems in electric, gas, or water utilities
  • Understanding of billing cycles, meter reads, payments, adjustments, and customer account logic
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex legacy code and batch processes
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to work independently

Nice to Have

  • Experience with mainframe environments, JCL, DB2, or similar legacy technologies

Role Details

  • Part‐time option available
