In From Hayden Mackley
Hi folks - there's a recruitment currently open for an ITS5 lead web developer at WaTech (The job is posted on the DES website, but that part of DES is now part of WaTech), and they're looking for someone ideally with Drupal/Wordpress knowledge.

The team over there supports a whole bunch of websites, large and small, including the many sites under the OFM umbrella, like the Governor's site, the OFM site, and more - which is why I'm interested in them getting it filled. There's potential to do some pretty cool things with upcoming redesign projects.

Here it is:
