- Is proficiency with Maximo an absolute requirement, or would the manager consider experience with other Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) tools?
Proficiency with Maximo is an absolute must for this role.
- How significant is a development background for this role? Are .Net or Java skills mandatory, or would proficiency in other languages be considered?
Having development experience indicates a progression. Most architects were developers before progressing to architects. .Net and java are not mandatory but make sense to have as most of code in Maximo is written in java.
.
- Could you please clarify the importance of risk mitigation and SOX controls? Are these aspects mandatory for the role, and how do they compare in importance to expertise in Maximo? Are both risk mitigation/SOX controls and Maximo proficiency required?
This is a lesser requirement. Our Maximo system is a SOX system so understanding how to manage under SOX protocol would be helpful. These are not required.
