Right now we have a rare and exciting role-one where you can make your mark on a great little Australian success story!

Located in the northern suburbs of Perth, not all that far from the CBD is a successful small manufacturing company with history of success in a field traditionally dominated by the multinational corporations. The staff enjoys a collaborative, friendly environment based on mutual respect and a well-tested system of efficiencies in manufacturing, distribution, sales and support of some well-received products.

The technical environment is stable, and has a rock solid legacy system using the Pick operating system, which is a flavour of UNIX (for those who have never heard of Dick Pick!). The rest of the environment consists of much of what you would anticipate, Windows, TCP/IP, UNIX and Linux (where Microsoft cannot be avoided!) and some modern tech used for communication.

Outside of the technical are the human aspects we seek-the ability to collaborate, a genuine willingness to assist, patience, humour and wisdom gained from some strong commercial experience in helping people come to grips with the day to day trials of high technology.

For this you will need more than technical skills. Were looking for excellent communication skills, both written and oral. You will need to be able to pick up other programming languages (if you pardon the pun), and know your way around networking in general, flavours of UNIX, and innovations as they arrive.

Your technical input therefore will be more than a standard Systems Administrator, for in effect you will be the Manager of IT, without the stress and politics of a multinational corporation. There are vendors to shop and placate, real people who need you, and a business to run.

Interested? Please do apply to David Christie FIMC, MRCSA, Principal Human Resources Consultant, for a personalised response.

Here, there, everywhere

This is a new role for the company, and a very important one. Were seeking a person with excellent interpersonal skills to support a software suite that has proven to be quite valuable to the mining industry. Traditionally we have done well with people from Help Desk backgounds, software developers, and trainers-indeed it encompasses all of these traits.

We have more details at hand-please do contact David Christie for some more detail-we will post more details it comes to hand.

So, you’ve been a good little Engineer, long qualified. You’ve encountered the spectrum from DC to daylight, seen some sparks, software, and have traversed the ISO layer over the last decade or so. You’re good with CAD gear, Projects, and technical wordsmithing. Ready for the big chair ? I have an Engineering Manager role on-no sponsorship as yet, but if you’d like an career evaluation, you may just well be up to the task. Of course if you have a background as a Manager, Engineering, Analogue and Digital then meet your new best friend at david@careercafe.com.au

Think quick-six month contract for a PM with technical and business background, esp Oracle and MS. Details follow but update us with your CV now!

This client brief is smaller than the Victoria Secrets’ catalogue page 12- however we have a contract available commencing soon in the Change Management area. Now, most clients have no idea what this means so they have to see it on the resume to know what it is, and then when you start the contract it changes. (I gather they are supposed to do that). Please send your resume and put me out of my misery-I’m not good with change, even small change. If I was to guess what the role entailed, it would be Business Analysys with a keen eye on the OHSW aspects of a burgening mine operation, but thats me.

“Irregulars” generally refers to any non-standard military troop, unit, column, band, or force. In this case its the battle of business, to ensure the materials are managed, the users are trained, payroll is organised, and the projects are managed within an inch of their lives. Big dollars at stake here! If you’re looking for a contract gig in Perth, or don’t mind the warmer places north of here then we may be able to assist you. Right now we have an SAP SD consulting role available, say six months, and some other SAP roles forthcoming for a couple of major projects. If you are a knowledgeable and experienced SAP specialist we can offer up to AUS$1000.00 daily for the right skills and experience, but we need a good resume, full and compliant Australian work rights, and an impeccable work history.

…later update-if you have “inventory” experience we would like to hear from you ASAP.

If youre interested pop through your resume and you will be maintained on the database for contact as the projects unfurl!

We have a disciplined Engineering company who have lots of Engineers doing what engineers love to do-Mechanical, Structural, and mostly everything to do with maintaining, upgrading and installing the modestly heavy industrial work that is entailed. Software Engineering is one of the disciplines, mostly Embedded Systems, C and CAD, as you would imagine, for the client team consists of experienced engineers who have been involved in many projects around the world. Some of the systems that are currently in operation involve: Computer Based Instrumentation, Integrated Audio, Video and Visual Communication Systems and Laser-based high precision Measurement Systems.

The client is big on Engineering degrees, himself being all but a Rocket Scientist, complete with the associated eccentricity. They are very busy, looking for the right mix of skills to move on to a hire.  Some exciting projects are afoot for 2011. Send your resume now !

Throw me a spanner and a line of code!

lets go fishing for more sales!

Initially, I had a couple of roles available right now for sales executives, both fairly high tech but nothing too technical for one of them, but the second takes a modicum of adjustment if you are not used to the esoteric sale. Both roles offer mentoring, six figure salaries, and an articulation path. The clients are tough hombres – make no mistake. They are looking for superb interpersonal skills, and a willingness to get to it – sales with all the means, authority, need, prospect, suspect and close! Apply!

Mining Sales-you know the drill-you know the turf-you know the mine!

Business Intelligence. Its essentially new, its hot, and its a consultative sale, and not all about cubes.
