Mission & Objectives
To administer, secure and optimise UEDCL’s enterprise databases, ensuring
reliable, recoverable and high-performing data services that support critical
business operations, regulatory obligations and service continuity.
Key Responsibilities
• Install, configure, administer, maintain and upgrade approved enterprise
database platforms in accordance with documented standards, licensing
requirements and change controls.
• Monitor database availability, health, scheduled jobs, query performance,
storage usage, replication and capacity; investigate abnormalities and
implement approved corrective action.
• Configure, monitor and verify database backups and recovery
mechanisms, including point-in-time recovery where supported;
participate in restoration and disaster recovery tests against agreed
recovery objectives.
• Support database high-availability, replication and failover arrangements,
working with infrastructure and application teams to minimise service
interruption.
• Implement authorised database patches, upgrades, configuration
hardening and vulnerability remediation, with impact assessment, testing,
rollback plans and auditable records.
• Administer database accounts, roles and permissions under least-privilege
and segregation-of-duties principles; monitor privileged access, activity
logs and service accounts in collaboration with ICT Security.
• Protect data confidentiality, integrity and availability through approved
encryption, retention, access, audit and secure non-production data
handling controls, in line with applicable laws and UEDCL policies.
• Provide database operational support to mission-critical enterprise
applications, including customer transaction and vending, billing, ERP and
integration services, in liaison with application owners and vendors.
• Support development, test and production database environments,
including approved schema changes, database migrations, deployments
and controlled refreshes, without bypassing production change approval.
• Diagnose and resolve database incidents and recurring faults, perform
root-cause analysis, document remedial actions and contribute to agreed
out-of-hours major-incident support arrangements.
• Undertake capacity planning and performance optimisation, including
indexing, query analysis, data growth assessment and resource
forecasting, and recommend improvements for review.
• Maintain accurate database inventories, configuration baselines, runbooks,
backup schedules, recovery procedures, dependency maps and technical
documentation to support continuity and audit readiness.
• Collaborate with the Senior Database Administrator, SAP BASIS,
infrastructure, cybersecurity, application, integration and project teams on
database changes, migrations and service improvements.
• Prepare periodic database health, backup, availability, capacity, incident
and security-control reports, escalating material risks and exceptions
promptly.
