Senior Programmer Analyst

• Hiring: Senior Programmer Analyst
• Location: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Remote (onsite work may be required)
• Duration: September 28, 2026 – September 27, 2027 (possibility to extend)
• Hourly Rate: $80/hour - $95/hour (based on experience)
• Client: Public Sector
• Overview:
• The Student Financial Services Branch (SFS) of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour (PETL) requires a new solution that delivers modern online services that better meet clients’ needs and enhances the client experience. The current application does provide the client with the ability to submit applications for student financial assistance online, but the process is time consuming and cumbersome. Additional functionality to communicate and pass information between the client and Student Financial Services (SFS) Division staff is out of date and somewhat manual.

Responsibilities:

• The goal of this project is to complete the functional design, development, and implementation of a system to modernize and automate requirements. The project will focus on the following:
• Pre-Application Development – Design, Develop and Implement a framework that will be secure, scalable and maintainable to allow for future enhancements.
• Portal Registration – Improve client experience by providing secure, efficient, self-serve functionality.
• Notifications - Improve communication and lower costs by providing secure electronic communication between SFS and the applicants and reducing the reliance on traditional postal services.
• Online Internet Application - Improve client experience by providing an enhanced user interface and to reduce the time required for assessors to process applications by improving data accuracy and integrity by implementing enhanced data validation.
• Data Migration – to allow historical data to be available for review purposes.
• Online Institution Services - Reduce processing time by providing an avenue for Educational Institutions to submit required information related to a student’s program of study in a secure electronic environment. This will decrease the time Educational Institutions (EIs) spend preparing and transmitting forms and reduce the need for SFS staff to enter data information received from EIs.
• Automated Administration Services - to provide mechanisms for reporting, client surveys, online application form modification and application troubleshooting.
