Lead SQL Server Consultant – London Rate negotiable, but likely to be £700-£750 per day. This role is a consultative type position with my client looking for someone to come in at a high-level and give advice and support to a small development team, so having very strong knowledge of a development environment, is a must.

My client seeks an experienced Lead MS SQL Server Consultant to provide expert guidance and technical assistance in optimising their in-house ERP system, which is essentially SQL Server hosted on Azure, a Windows 2019 box in the cloud.
