BHE Renewables is seeking a senior-level analyst to manage technical support and development work across its software infrastructure, balancing vendor relationship management with hands-on coding and system design. The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure maintenance and application development—you'd handle everything from deploying patches and upgrades to commercial software, troubleshooting critical business systems, and designing moderately complex applications and interfaces. You'd also consult directly with business users to evaluate feasibility of new or modified systems, work with vendors to resolve issues and drive improvements, and potentially mentor other analysts on assigned projects.
This position requires at least six years of progressive experience in systems analysis or software development, with demonstrated advanced knowledge of relational databases, client/server and web environments, and IT infrastructure broadly. Hands-on technical proficiency is essential: Oracle and Microsoft SQL database development, .NET and current programming languages, and experience integrating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions within formal change and release management frameworks. A bachelor's degree in MIS, computer science, or a related field is expected, though equivalent work experience can substitute.
The role is based in Des Moines and requires in-office presence, with periodic on-call availability. It's suited to someone who can move fluidly between vendor negotiations, user consultation, and deep technical problem-solving, and who has the communication and analytical skills to translate between business needs and technical implementation.
