About the role

Year one:

  • Learn the NetSuite platform: records, roles and permissions, saved searches, reports and standard financial and operational processes
  • Build and test simple customisations - saved searches, workflows, custom fields, forms and dashboards - to a written specification, with your work reviewed before it leaves the team
  • Write your first SuiteScript 2.x scripts and SuiteQL queries under supervision
  • Pick up and resolve straightforward tickets from our managed services support queue in Jira, keeping worklogs and ticket notes up to date
  • Learn our delivery standards: version control, code review, sandbox-first development and the difference between sandbox and production
  • Shadow consultants on customer calls to understand how requirements become solutions

Years two and three:

  • Develop and unit test SuiteScript 2.x customisations (user event, client, Suitelet, scheduled and map / reduce scripts) against agreed specifications
  • Build and maintain Celigo integration flows between NetSuite and third-party applications, including error handling and monitoring
  • Use SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) to package and deploy changes through our environments
  • Write and maintain technical documentation, unit test scripts and deployment notes
  • Investigate and fix defects across NetSuite configuration, scripting and integrations, escalating appropriately
  • Contribute to estimates and technical design discussions for customer change requests
  • Work towards NetSuite certification (SuiteFoundation, then Administrator or SuiteCloud Developer)

Final year:

  • Own discrete development workstreams end to end, from specification through build, test and deployment
  • Take part in code reviews as a reviewer as well as an author
  • Work directly with customers on technical clarifications and demonstrations, supported by your consultant or project manager
  • Complete your end-point assessment, including the work-based project, drawing on GLE delivery work agreed in advance with your manager and the college

Essential requirements:

  • Demonstrable interest in software development or business systems
  • Logical, methodical approach to problem solving, and the persistence to keep going when the first three attempts do not work
  • Clear written and spoken English - you will write notes that customers read
  • Attention to detail: our work touches customers' financial records, so precision matters more than speed

Desirable requirements:

  • Any exposure to programming, particularly JavaScript
  • Any exposure to SQL or relational database concepts
  • A-level or BTEC Level 3 in Computer Science, IT, Maths or a related subject
  • Basic understanding of what an ERP system does, or of business processes such as order to cash or procure to pay
  • Experience of any part-time or voluntary work involving customers or the public

  • Workplace pension, in line with auto-enrolment
