Sound more like a senior position. ...
 
We would prefer a more senior person. with the right attitude, we would consider juniors. The JD is for a senior position.
 
Just out of interest, what's the salary?
 

Are you sure the job posting is not just for fulfilling legal requirements as you've already found someone in India/China?

www.byrnes.co.za doesn't redirect to any website (although I assume it isn't the company website). Would help to see the actual company (who they are, etc.). (PM if you can)

so much doubt/negativity :)

there are very little legal requirements in the middle east (in terms of employment), we have no reason to post other than the original intention.

As I mentioned in my last "Note", I'm a south African working for this company and don't in anyway officially represent the HR department. I can however share more info if you drop me an email.

on the question of nationality, my colleagues are from around 50 countries, so yes there are Indians but no Chinese at the moment.
 
Need any legacy skills in the mainframe arena? Natural/Adabas, COBOL CICS, JCL etc..
 
Assistance with relocation etc?
 
Assistance with relocation etc?

the good old expat packages in the middle east are sadly few and far between these days. depends what you mean by "assistance". :) shipping a container with your house hold items, nope. flights, accommodation, visas, medical etc all covered. anything else, you could negotiate.
