Mainframe job/ operations

[cacilia_1 80]

I have over 10 years experience in mainframe operations (also called Enterprise Operations Analyst) IBM and HP3000, but good jobs are getting harder to find as the smaller companies move to server farms. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are any such jobs in Germany and if so, how to go about getting one. I speak good German. I lived there several years for 5 years and would like to return again. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas? Any area would be considered. Also, and yes I said I speak good German but I do not know what that would job would be called in German. Thanks for any advice or help.

mainframe operator seems to be a known term in Germany. Alternatively search for großrechner. You're probably right that the number of jobs available will be lower than in the past, but don't forget that the same is true for the number of people that can perform them.

 

Legacy is still the future of computing.

Thanks Gwaptiva. I just found that you had answered my post and I do appreciate it. I'm finding more jobs in the UK for mainframe operators than in Germany which is interesting and at least in the UK I can possibly get an Ancestry Visa via my grandparents. But I still want to return to Germany.

 

The search continues and if anyone knows of any jobs in this field or who has a mainframe and might need someone, please let me know.

 

Thank you.
