Mainframe consultant

Novalink Solutions LLC•Columbia, SC

About The Position

This position is open due to the ongoing workload required by the Medicaid IT Systems and the need to have resources to support the various claims adjudication and payment processes that have been developed in the past. There are also new projects slated for FY26 that will need resources. We have found in the past that some contractor applicants are adept with their technical skills; however, we have found that their soft skills have been lacking. By that, we mean that sometimes they have not communicated well, have not worked effectively with team members, have not easily fit into our work environment, etc. This project includes backfill on production systems, potentially working on smaller short-term projects and includes working with customers, development staff, operational staff and QA staff.
