Application Development Manager (Material Pricing & Field Management)
min $50 USD / hour
If you are a developer that likes to see the results of your effort put to immediate benefit by clients and can work in a dynamic environment, this is the best team to join.
D. BROWN MANAGEMENT helps construction contractors grow profitably providing a comprehensive scope of management advisory and technology solutions to construction clients nationwide. These technology solutions include custom programming, business analytics and specific software tools (DBM TOOLS) that address gaps in the current industry software.
The Development Manager is a hands-on programming role that has ultimate responsibility for the technical execution of a tool’s design. The Development Manager will work with a variety of technical platforms (primarily VBA, SQL and SSRS) with a design imperative of integration across disparate existing software platforms.
For example a key business process for contractors is updating their estimating, purchasing, inventory and service billing systems with current vendor pricing. These updates are frequently manual, time consuming and prone to errors. Streamlining the business process requires a tool that connects to vendor pricing through a web API that brings data into the various backend systems used by the contractor. This occurs on a regular schedule with business logic checks and management notifications.
As the portfolio of tools being managed grows, the Development Manager is responsible for recruiting, training and managing a team of 4-6 developers handling the technical implementation, support and maintenance of those tools.
The Development Manager actively collaborates with the Product Manager on the design of the tools ensuring the right balance of features, cost and schedule are achieved. Both the Development Manager and Product Manager share in the financial success of the tools through performance compensation.
Initial Tools
The following tools and training classes are already being used by our clients. The Development Manager will assume technical ownership of these tools and work with the Product Manager to expand their market. This will include integration with other types of industry software, adding new features, architecture refinement, implementation and maintenance.
Pricing Tools: A suite of tools that streamline the integration of various material pricing services with estimating, purchasing, inventory and service management software.
Field Management Tools: A suite of tools that streamline the key field management processes including time entry, production tracking, document access and scheduling.
Unlocking Data Class: Training class focused on helping clients learn the basics of SQL as it relates to management analysis and reporting of data.
