Permanent | £60,000 to £70,000 | Bradford / Hybrid (2 days in office)
We're looking for an experienced IBM Workload Scheduler (IWS) Specialist to join a well-known UK online retailer.
This is a great opportunity to join a small specialist team as a genuine IWS subject matter expert, working alongside an experienced colleague in a business-critical area.
You'll be involved across:
- Building scripts that run through IWS
- Creating and maintaining batch schedules
- In-depth problem analysis and resolution
- Mainframe work, including JCL and REXX
- IWS upgrades
- Working with a small, friendly technical team
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be joining at an interesting time, with the chance to help shape and support the ongoing development of the IWS environment.
You'll need:
- Significant, recent hands-on IWS experience, ideally with more recent versions
- Proven experience building scripts and batch schedules (not just running or monitoring jobs)
- Mainframe knowledge, specifically JCL and REXX
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Current, up-to-date experience of IWS and mainframe environments
Nice to have:
- Linux scripting
- Experience of IWS upgrades
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The Package
- £60,000 to £70,000
- Permanent
- Bradford (2 days a week in the office)
- Private healthcare options, reward schemes and staff discounts
- Friendly, relaxed culture with a real focus on work-life balance
This is a particularly good opportunity for an IWS specialist who wants real ownership and visibility rather than being one of many on a large team.
You'll have the opportunity to work across IWS, mainframe and wider technology projects, with possible management training and development depending on your interests.
