Tumaini Consulting is looking for a Mid-Level MS SQL DBA for a client, based in Johannesburg. This permanent role is a remote secondment position supporting a client in the United Kingdom from South Africa, working Monday to Friday with possible overtime. Applications close on 28 December 2026, so interested candidates should apply promptly.
About the company and the work
Tumaini Consulting is a recruitment and staffing agency that places people with client organisations. Its name comes from the Swahili word for “hope”, and the agency says its focus is on delivering quality candidates to clients. In this vacancy, the successful candidate will join the client’s dynamic team as an intermediate Microsoft SQL database administrator, keeping the client’s SQL Server environment running reliably while supporting users in another time zone.
Role details and duties
The role is a remote secondment position for a client in the United Kingdom, with support provided from South Africa. The DBA will work with Microsoft SQL Server day to day, using SQL, T-SQL, SSIS and SSRS to manage databases, move and transform data, and produce reports. The working pattern is Monday to Friday, with possible overtime when the support load requires it. Because the client is based in the United Kingdom, applicants should be comfortable working across time zones and communicating clearly with a remote team.
Requirements
Applicants must have 5 to 6 or more years of experience, and Microsoft SQL Server experience is a must. Candidates need working skills in SQL, T-SQL, SSIS and SSRS. Applicants are asked to send transcripts with their applications.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24 by Tumaini Consulting, and the Apply button on this page links directly to that original advert. Apply only through the original listing, and never pay anyone who promises you this job or asks for a fee to secure an interview. Genuine recruiters do not charge job seekers for applications.
Practical tips
Lead with your SQL Server experience: give concrete examples of databases you have administered, SSIS packages you have built or maintained, and SSRS reports you have delivered. Mention your experience supporting remote clients and working across time zones, and be ready to discuss how you handle overtime and urgent support requests. Attach your transcripts, as the advert asks for them, and make sure your CV clearly shows the years of experience behind each requirement.
