Form of work
SalaryA Data Migration Specialist (NEC Housing) is required for our client for an initial 3-month contract. Ideally for 22.2 hours per week potentially rising to 37 hours per week if required for the successful delivery of the programme. However, 37 hours per week can be considered from the outset if preferred.
The specialist must have experience working with the NEC housing system (allocations module) and ideally (but not essential) Civica’s choice-based lettings product, Abritas.
Knowledge of NEC’s data loaders and build/configuration experience would be beneficial.
We require the consultant to support the migration of data from Abritas to NEC, and work with the data team on the following activities:
- Reviewing our migration approach thus far for Abritas/NEC and validating how we have mapped data from one system to the other.
- Reviewing our initial migration exercise, and assessing whether data has landed effectively and accurately in the NEC product.
- Providing expertise and a clear steer to our Migration Lead about how the NEC system should work or has worked well at other sites, to inform how we migrate data.
- Supporting the Migration Lead develop SQL scripts and/or amendments to map data from Abritas to NEC – these scripts will then be run as part of the data unloading process and passed to NEC for loading.
- Providing issue and error management expertise as part of future test migrations and the go-live migration; this should include diagnosing and addressing any load errors.
- Supporting our data reconciliation and migration testing exercises once the data load has completed.
- Linking with the testing workstream to ensure feedback is captured and documented.
The candidate must be able to demonstrate a sufficient level of experience and competence to perform this role autonomously.
