This came across my email yesterday. Sounds like a good opportunity.
Contact Ken Spero (the headhunter) directly, if interested.
Unique thing about this job is you CAN WORK REMOTELY.
Full time... SALARY $100K and Bene's.
The client is in the Somerset area. They really need to get someone aboard
and productive asap, so they are ready to interview and hire someone
immediately. Given the fact that the holiday is approaching followed by the
usual summer slowdown, this is a great opportunity for someone who is
looking for a high quality, full time position. Unlike a lot of companies
who are dragging their feet, or feel the need to over interview instead of
pulling the trigger for the right candidate, this process will be quick.
We have a NJ based client who is looking for an Epicor Vantage ERP Analyst.
One of the best features as a full time, permanent employee complete with
benefits is the Analyst gets to work remotely. There will be one or two
required visits a year to the NJ headquarters. They mentioned a small amount
of travel to two other sites domestically, and they have a site in China
that will require a couple of visits over the next two years until they are
fully functional.

Here's the additional guidance as per the hiring manager:
Regarding Travel: limited, part of the on boarding may involve traveling to
the plants. Additionally, we will be upgrading Epicor in China within the
next two years and need to support them until we have adequate support
onsite in China, therefore there will be trips to China in the future.
Since we have installed Video Conferencing at all our sites (China
included) our travel requirements have been substantially reduced,
especially due to China being on our North American network.
Regarding programming tools: VB is currently the key, as all customizations
have been written in VB in the current release. One of the major projects
that this person will be working on is the upgrade of our current Epicor
Vantage system to the next release level. This next release level enables
customizations and maintenance in C# - which is what we want to work towards
as VB is aging.
Regarding SQL: not looking for SQL database administration - but
familiarity with SQL logs and general knowledge of SQL is important. SQL
scripts are important so knowledge of or the ability to "pick it up" is
important as SQL is the database supporting Epicor.
We don't do a lot of Crystal Reporting as they are relatively inflexible in
terms of being able to manipulate data, but they have their place and we do
have quite a few Crystal Reports running that are provided by Vantage. The
importance is that if these reports have a problem I need someone who can
fix the report.
In order of importance:
1) VB
2) SQL and SQL scripts - same importance is knowledge of Pivot
tables/stored procedures/macros as this is our data analysis platform of
choice due to performance issues in Epicor Vantage.
3) Crystal reporting - creation and maintenance
4) C# (for future)
Thanks again for your help, and have a great holiday!
