The Pennsylvania Conservation and Environment Delivery Center (CEDC) is actively modernizing the way it does business and meets the public and client needs.  `The Department of Environmental Protection currently supports/maintains over 22 externally facing java-based applications.  These systems have been written over the past 20 years and includes a mix of technologies and frameworks.  Currently there are three people supporting these systems executing general maintenance, bug fixes, enhancement requests, server moves, etc.  The current systems are all using outdated versions of Java and other frameworks that will need to be upgraded to the newest version.  Each application will need to be analyzed and updated to ensure that these externally facing applications are brought up to the newest version of Java, any outdated technologies/components is replaced and that the comply with the CEDC delivery standards and security protocols.
This effort will involve reviewing and evaluating each existing system and determining the required changes to make for them to function properly and run under a secure and supported Java engine.  The candidate will work with the existing team to execute the analysis of the existing applications, frameworks and technologies incorporated to develop a detailed plan for the upgrade path.  The normal day to day operations will still need to be supported during this timeframe by the present team.  This position will be the technical lead to ensure any application changes are made to run under the new Java environment.  This effort will involve reviewing and evaluating each existing system and determining the required changes required, execute those changes, and ensure proper testing for them to function properly.   Relevant technical documentation will be provided as appropriate.
