Be the reason that critical data is there when it matters most.

APS is searching for a Senior Database Administrator / Backup Administrator who sees backups, recovery, automation, and operational excellence as more than technical tasks - they're a commitment to reliability.

What you’re passionate about

You’re the calm, methodical problem-solver who is at your best when business-critical systems need to be reliable, secure and recoverable. You combine deep database expertise with practical backup and recovery judgment, and you know that strong documentation, disciplined change practices and continuous improvement are what keep operations resilient. You enjoy working with application teams, infrastructure colleagues and vendors to solve complex issues, reduce recurring effort and strengthen service continuity. When incidents happen, you bring composure, accountability and a risk-aware mindset to get to the right outcome.

A typical day for the Senior Database Administrator / Backup Administrator

Administer APS database platforms across environments, including monitoring, maintenance, patching, upgrades, refreshes, security administration and capacity planning.
Investigate performance, availability and capacity concerns, then implement practical remediation strategies that protect service continuity.
Administer enterprise backup and recovery systems, including monitoring backup completion, retention requirements and backup system health.
Execute and validate backup and restore activities for databases, servers, virtual environments, mailboxes and other supported assets as required.
Perform and document restore testing and disaster recovery validation to confirm recoverability and operational readiness.
Investigate backup failures and recovery issues, identify root causes and implement corrective actions that prevent repeat failures.
Work with application teams, infrastructure staff and vendors to design and support database and recoverability solutions aligned with operational needs.
Strengthen documentation, standards, procedures and automation so recurring manual effort is reduced over time.
Participate in on-call support rotations and contribute to root cause analysis after incidents or service interruptions.

What you bring

A degree or diploma with 5–6 years of directly related experience; or a certificate with 7–9 years of directly related experience.
In-depth knowledge of enterprise database administration using MS SQL Server, including database design, installation, configuration, maintenance, performance optimization, security and lifecycle management.
Advanced understanding of relational database concepts, data modelling and support for high-availability, high-reliability business applications.
Strong knowledge of database performance monitoring and tuning, capacity planning, fault isolation and remediation approaches.
In-depth knowledge of enterprise backup and recovery using Commvault or similar tools, including backup scheduling, retention management, restore operations, disaster recovery testing and recoverability validation.
Knowledge of recoverability assurance practices, including backup verification, restore testing, evidence retention and reporting to support audit, compliance and cyber-insurance obligations.
Experience with operating system concepts, administrative tooling, scripting and automation as they relate to database and backup administration.
Familiarity with IT service management concepts, including incident, problem and change management.
Clear communication skills, strong documentation habits and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical peers, stakeholders, leadership and vendors.
Professional resilience, accountability and adaptability in a hands-on operational and on-call environment.

Why choose APS

APS is made up of hard-working, respectful and talented people who understand and invite diversity to the workplace. We take pride in holding ourselves accountable and continuing to meet or exceed service levels for plan members, pensioners and employers. We ensure they receive quality services because they - along with our people - are the reason we endure and succeed.

And it sure feels good helping hard-working Albertans receive their well-deserved pensions.

Defined benefit pension plan
Community-minded workplace with a friendly team environment
Vacation starting at 15 days per year, 13 statutory holidays, personal days, plus office closure between Christmas and New Year’s Day
