Drupal Beginner, with some opportunity for mentoring.

A role is being created in a local (Melbourne) design agency for a "Drupal Beginner".

I chatted with the creative director yesterday. They have some Drupal sites under their belt. They have a 4-year experienced Drupal developer in-house. That guy's time is pretty fully booked, and he will be out of office significantly in the coming months.

They will possibly bring in a consultant to help them ramp up their Drupal exposure and increase the strength of their 'communication vectors' with the local community. The consultant role would be mine.

The beginner would have some in-house teaching from the developer and the process of "How Drupall Does Things" would be overseen by myself and I would step in as technical backstop or finder of further resources as needed. I'd also play a role as a further mentor to the Drupal beginner.

We imagine a PHP programmer who has little or no exposure to Drupal. Or somebody who has some Drupal building history and some exposure at the PHP level and at least knows the basic principles. Straight out of college or university might be considered.

The gig may only be for a few months, it would be a few days a week, in the inner Melbourne metro area. In client office, not remote.

Contact me (contact form initially is a good way) if you have an interest or perhaps know of somebody.

Realistic beginner hourly rates on a sub-contract basis will be paid by the client.
