Short Description:

The City of Columbus Department of Technology requires staff augmentation services to assist in end user support at the Department of Public Utilities.  Service is needed for up to one year.

 

Complete Description:

This is an URGENT need for a backfill !      Travel within the City of Columbus will be REQUIRED.  No reimbursement of expenses.     The worksite address is the Department of Public Utilities.

 

Resumes will be due to the manager on FRIDAY the 24th

 

Travel is required.

There are two home reporting bases.

It’s at our internal customers locations, but I have dedicated staff onsite reporting to those locations each day as their home base.

 

One is 910 Dublin Rd. Columbus OH

The other is 1250 Fairwood Ave. Columbus OH

 

The one team at 910 Dublin has building surrounding their main building of the 910 address. So within walking distance.

They also support a building on Idianola Ave. which requires travel in their own vehicle, transporting equipment.

 

The 1250 Fairwood team has more travel due to them supporting many of the remote sites (Water Plants/Sewer Plants, etc.)

I have a team member just last month who drove approximately 169 miles for that month.

 

Either of the Staff Aug employees could be asked to assist at either location, especially if we are deploying PC’s, so travel will be ongoing.
