Re: New System Operator

I'd leave it at System Operator and make sure the duties included 
"Other duties as assigned."

All,

Our i5 "System Operator" called in and quit with no notice recently, so
we
need to hire a replacement.

System Operator is kind of a misnomer.  This is as much a clerical
position
as it is a computer operator position.  In fact, the position has
LMTCPB(*YES).  The "big function in life" is to run all billing on a
daily
basis, which includes invoices, picking labels, associated reports,
etc, but
"Billing Clerk" doesn't seem to cut it.  But since we're a small office
(5
clerks and an office supervisor), it's the typical
everybody-does-a-little-bit-of-everything now and then.

I'm actually wondering what to call the position.  The work consists
of
things like:

Running the above mentioned billing
Clerical (like some filing in spare time)
Meter outgoing mail from time to time
Data entry
Mount tapes for backups
Verify backups completed
Paper/ribbon/toner changing on printers
Monitor QSYSOPR message queue
Word & Excel
Various short operations tasks on some server PCs

As you can see, a college educated computer type would be bored and
unchallenged, but the more he/she would understand computers, the
better it
would be.  Do some of you have a similar position?
