IY at Experian in Nottingham

Posted on by

Alex Stuart, an ACS graduate says:

A placeholder of sorts, but we’ve just received funding to take on an industrial year student next academic year (16-17 term) in our Enterprise System Management team at Experian. The ESM team focus on system monitoring, process automation, and IT service systems.

The role will require programming skills (I am still awaiting to hear which particular languages, as my experience with the department is coding in REXX, mainframe specific!). The potentially successful candidate would also have the chance to work with popular enterprise technologies like Splunk and CA service desk.

The infrastructure you would be supporting would be cutting edge, for one of the leading information services companies in the world.

The role would be based in Nottingham, and I will hopefully have more details for you all ASAP!

If you’re interested, drop me a message on here (Aber Comp Sci jobs group on Facebook) or email alex.stuart@experian.com
