Concentra is one of the fastest growing consultancy and technical firms in the UK, with a client list which is the envy of its competitors and industry recognition which extends from GC Awards for Innovation to Computing Awards for Excellence. We pride ourselves in developing high quality products and solutions and deliver value for our clients by combining the latest technologies with the best ways of doing business.
For these reasons we are seeking an expert in Capacity Planning or Operational research to help us design, develop and bring a robust web-based Capacity Planning product to market. As an expert in this area you will be involved in all aspects of the product development processes and will be a key figure in determining the appropriate solution to meet market needs while ensuring that best practice is adhered to. This role is critical to the differentiation of Concentra as being leaders in bringing analytical problem solving to the broader market to solve systemic operational problems.
As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we work primarily with Microsoft technologies such as Office SharePoint Portal, SQL Server, .NET 3.x, XML and web services for SOA (Service Oriented Architecture).
To be successful within the role, it will be useful to have experience in developing in C#; however, training will be provided to the right candidate. A strong analytical background, first degree in a quantitative subject, and proven ability to innovate are required.
You will be rewarded in this opportunity not only by working with a brilliant team and with some of the most well known clients in the UK, but also by a competitive base salary up to ?40k per year. In addition as part of Knowledge Transfer Partnership between Concentra and the University of Westminster, a training budget, mentorship with an expert in the field, and access to University facilities will be available. The position is for two years initially and offers an excellent opportunity for an individual that is willing to learn and progress within the Company and the IT industry.
