Tivoli Output Manager Consultant

Kforce is seeking an experienced Tivoli Output Manager or what may be also considered as a Mainframe Output Management Consultant to support an engagement for a long-standing enterprise client in the Pacific Northwest.

Summary: This is a short-term, high-priority consulting assignment supporting an active mainframe migration and configuration effort. The broader project involves IBM SCLM - Software Configuration and Library Manager and related z/OS configuration activities.

• Configure, validate, and troubleshoot output/report management processes in a z/OS environment
• Support capture, routing, archiving, viewing, retention, and distribution of mainframe output
• Validate JES2/JES3 output handling, SYSOUT processing, and spool-related activity
• Review and troubleshoot JCL and batch job output
• Use SDSF, TSO, and ISPF to review jobs, output, panels, and configuration details
• Assist with ISPF panel setup and related mainframe configuration activities
• Support SCLM-adjacent activities where output, batch execution, or ISPF setup is involved
• Troubleshoot missing, failed, misrouted, or incorrectly retained reports/output
• Assist with go-live readiness, cutover support, and post-go-live warranty support
• Partner with IBM and client technical teams in a fast-moving project environment
• Document issues, configuration steps, resolutions, and knowledge transfer items
