Database Developer Job at Future Fuel Chemical Company

Future Fuel Chemical Company Batesville, AR 72501

Database Administrator


FutureFuel Chemical Company is looking for a new member for its Information Technology Team to specialize in database development and deployment. The ideal candidate would be a creative IT professional with experience in business intelligence, analysis, and the ability to develop workable solutions to information needs. This is an on-site position.
The candidate selected for this job will initially focus on optimizing data systems in the Health, Safety, Environment, and Security (HSES) Department and will transition over time to a position in the plant wide Information Technology (IT) Department. While working in the HSES Department, the selected candidate will have the opportunity to train with other “in the fence” departments and become familiar with numerous FutureFuel job roles.

HSES programs touch every department and every person working at or visiting FutureFuel. While working as the HSES Database Developer, the selected candidate will gather and organize information from across the plant, validate data accuracy, generate data files for numerous government agency reports, and store information in an easily accessible format. The HSES Department presently uses over 60 databases and information banks that have been developed by various people over many years. Many are inefficient and difficult to use. These databases need to be evaluated for redundancy, combined and automated wherever possible, and reports should be formatted to meet internal and external customer needs. Government agencies cross-check data entered into Central Data Exchange (CDX) databases and flag data discrepancies; therefore, it is critical that data submitted by various HSES areas is both consistent and accurate.

The HSES Database Administrator will work closely with FutureFuel’s IT and Process Control Departments to ensure HSES data systems work in concert with plant-wide computer systems. As internal HSES data systems are improved, more time will be devoted to learning about plant wide data systems and working with the IT Department. The transition time from HSES to IT will be contingent upon the size of the HSES work backlog.
