Your work will be based at Ft. Belvoir in Alexandria, VA, where you will be responsible for ensuring the integrity and performance of SQL Server databases. This position requires a proactive approach to monitoring backups on all SQL Server databases and performing routine disaster recovery testing scenarios to ensure data safety and availability.

Regular scheduling of index maintenance and database integrity checks will be part of your responsibilities, along with establishing and maintaining database policies and standards.

Documentation is key in this role; you will develop, follow, and maintain team documentation for repeatable processes, including database feature installation, disaster recovery, and common problem resolution. Adhering to ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) practices for Change Management is essential, as is working on trouble tickets and participating in security audits.
