Job Description
Virginia's community colleges have a 50-year track record of educational excellence and innovation to serve the needs of our citizens and strengthen the Commonwealth's economy. When Virginia's General Assembly established the Virginia Community College System in 1966, the need for a comprehensive system was well known. Over the two decades after the end of World War II, leaders in government, business, professional sectors, and academia had called for a new approach to providing educational opportunity. A key concern was Virginia's ability to develop a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to expand the state's economy. Today our community colleges give every Virginian the opportunity to gain a quality education. With 23 colleges on 40 campuses located throughout the state, Virginia's Community Colleges are committed to serving Virginia families, helping them acquire the knowledge and skills to seize the opportunities of today and tomorrow.
The Database Administrator position is a member of the Database Services Team, which is a sub-group of the Virginia Community Colleges System's (VCCS) Enterprise Operations Services (EOS). The EOS is the primary IT infrastructure provider for the VCCS, consisting of the twenty-three colleges, System Office, and Shared Service Center. The Database Services Team maintains and supports database management system architecture and associated infrastructure used in ITS-hosted services.
