[Sderby] Fwd: Contracting opportunities

[Dominic Knight]

I don't normally forward job offers to the list, I guess if you are 
looking for work this isn't really the right place ;) But just this 
once I thought I'd let one through to see how you all take it.

HI! Mailing controller,

I am on the Leicester lug mail list. I posted the following
 opportunity but have little response. Would it be possible for you
 to post this on to your mail distribution?

I have one or two Linux contracting opportunities.

I have a significant development job starting in the last quarter of
 2004. Anyone who is interested please e-mail me directly with a
 brief CV so as not to add more volume to the traffic on this list

Please contact me directly :

  <darryls at productcosting.com>

Sketchy Job outline :

Location : I work from Melton Mowbray, not that that is really
 relevant. Client / Customer is one of the largest corporations in
 Europe with facilities in most European countries and a good
 spattering in South America. Working from home is not a problem.

Simplistically the job requires the development of :

"A high volume interface to order intake and processing system to
 create cost models from dynamically user defined sets of rules."

Language ANSI C (strict) , could be persuaded for C++ BUT a C#
 version may also be required later.

European travel will almost certainly be required as the first
implementation will be in Italy. ( Italy, Spain, France and
Belgium)  Knowledge of French would be a benefit but NOT essential.

Development platform Linux, target environment(s) yet to be decided.

Length of initial contract unknown at this stage, at least 4 months.
 I have yet to specify the architecture let alone a programming
 spec. Given our heavy workload it is probable that the contractors
 will also be involved in the design process.

The requirement is probably for 2 contractors. Graduate
 professionals with a proven track record in C and in systems and
 computing in
general.  Specific knowledge of costing systems not required.
 Experience in manufacturing systems would probably be useful.

On the more general front I am interested in creating relationships
 with professionals who would like occasional work without being
 committed to a full time contract.


Kind Regards




Darryl
