In this role, you assist with software installation and primarily work to provide technical support. Your duties entail working in an Enterprise Class computing environment, including IBM Z series and Unisys. You conduct an analysis of system performance, look for problems, and fix them as they arise. As a mainframe consultant, your responsibilities also include analyzing capacity and performance, including z/OS, DASD, CICS, and applications. You carry out project management and may, at times, teach new users how a host or mainframe system works.
