Senor SQL Server DBA

On behalf of our large multinational client, we offer a great opportunity for an experienced SQL Server DBA to take the lead on a project to remediate their legacy SQL Server estate.
 
  
The Project

• Current state - 49 instances across Express, Standard and Developer editions, spanning SQL 2014 through 2022, several out of mainstream/security support
• Audit each SQL Server instance and decide in-place upgrade vs migration on a case-by-case basis
• Execute with no performance degradation and minimal downtime
• Coordinate app testing with stakeholders
• Rebuild backup jobs and confirm successful full backups
• Stand up monitoring in PRTG
• Get every server onto a patching schedule
• Handover with a clean checklist and support docs

You'll need

• Hands-on experience upgrading/migrating SQL Server at scale (2014→2016/2019/2022)
• Solid grasp of SQL Server backup strategy
• Patching and PRTG (or equivalent) monitoring
• The confidence to run a large multi-server estate independently
