3. Database Management – The incumbent is responsible for development of a plan on server and database usage that anticipates problems and the impact of any downtime so that appropriate upgrades can be made in a timely manner.

4. Technical Support – This position is the go-to position for support of the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office, both to maintain functionality, and also to run it technically in a state of emergency. From time to time, the incumbent will check setup of equipment and plotters for efficient use on the network. This also includes stocking appropriate supplies for ongoing repairs for the entire department.
5. Maintenance/Troubleshooting – Routine maintenance is performed on the servers on a monthly and quarterly basis. Updates to the server are done monthly, while remediation of the blades in the racks is done quarterly. When programs and emails run slower than normal, the incumbent will diagnose the problem and determine the appropriate repair (patches, hot fixes, etc.). Optimally, connectivity is maintained 24/7. Approximately 85% of the time is spent on the server, and about 15% on the network.
6. Security – This position maintains an active directory of security permissions, and manages the use of those applications on the server in accordance with the levels of security granted.
The challenge for this position is the ability to negotiate and consult with others in a manner that is informative, and yet collaborative so that staff understands recommendations being made and the wisdom of making changes when necessary. Helping others to embrace new technology and think creatively while problem solving is key to being successful in this role, and to bringing state-of-the-art technology to the Sheriff’s Office.
The incumbent works with very limited supervision, and is expected to make sound decisions independently most of the time. Major purchases and projects are the only times management must be involved in the discussion and decision-making.
