About the role

Our client is seeking an Application Developer to provide development support for a new Inspections application. The application will enable agency field inspectors to collect agricultural inspection data through online forms, save the information to a SQL database, and generate and store corresponding PDF documents. The existing inspections program will be decommissioned in Spring 2027, and the replacement system is being built in‑house. The position requires beginner‑to‑intermediate experience in JavaScript and SQL, with working knowledge of HTML and CSS.

• Use HTML and CSS to create and structure the inspection forms.
• Develop application functionality using JavaScript.
• Build functionality allowing inspector inputs to be captured and saved to the SQL database.
• Work with SQL/T‑SQL to support application data storage and retrieval.
• Use Jinja templates to compile inspection data into newly generated PDF documents.
• Support the generation and storage of completed PDF inspection documents.
• Ensure converted HTML forms accurately represent the information contained in the existing fillable PDFs.
• Develop form functionality, validation, and data‑handling logic.
• Test and troubleshoot forms and overall application functionality.
• Identify and resolve JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and database‑related issues.
• Provide additional JavaScript development support as needed to keep the project on schedule.
• Assist the development team in keeping the Inspections application project on track.
• Collaborate with internal developers and other project stakeholders.
