Job Overview:

Our client is looking for a hands-on Odoo Developer & Implementation Specialist to independently run discovery, configuration, and custom development to transition their business workflows into Odoo. You’ll turn real-world processes into maintainable Odoo solutions, handle data migration, training, and go-live, and set them up for smooth version upgrades with customisations, robust dashboards/visual reporting, and a well-governed third-party app ecosystem.

Schedule:

Monday - Friday, 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM Brisbane, with 1 hour unpaid break (40 work hours per week)

Responsibilities:

Discovery & Design

• Map and document current workflows and pain points; translate them into Odoo use cases.
• Produce a phased implementation plan (configuration vs. custom; MVP vs. later phases).

Configuration & Development

• Configure Odoo objects, permissions, approvals, activities, and mail templates.
• Build/extend via Python/ORM, QWeb, server actions, wizards, and scheduled jobs.
• Deliver dashboards and visual reporting for operational and leadership KPIs.

Upgrades & App Ecosystem

• Plan and execute Odoo version updates with existing customisations (refactor, test, migrate, rollback).
• Evaluate, install, and maintain third-party/OCA apps (compatibility, licensing, security).
• Use Git workflows (and optionally CI/CD); uphold coding standards and code reviews.

Deployment & Change

• Own data migration, UAT, cutover, and hyper-care; manage an issue log/backlog.
• Create technical and user documentation; deliver training and adoption support.

Quality & Reliability

• Implement automated tests where practical; monitor logs and performance.
• Optimise queries and indexes; maintain backup/restore and recovery procedures.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work directly with operational stakeholders to gather requirements and validate outcomes.
• Estimate effort, manage timelines, and communicate progress/risks clearly.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years Odoo development/implementation experience with end-to-end delivery.
• Strong Python, PostgreSQL, XML, and JavaScript; solid Odoo ORM/QWeb skills.
• Proven track record creating custom modules, reports, and dashboards.
• Hands-on version upgrade experience with custom code preserved/refactored.
• Comfortable with Git and agile ways of working; excellent communication and problem-solving.
• Experience with Odoo 18 (or 17+ with readiness to maintain on v18).

Nice to Have:

• Experience implementing Odoo in service/operations environments.
• Odoo Enterprise exposure; multi-company/multi-currency familiarity.
• API integration experience (for future phases).
• BI exposure (Power BI/Tableau) alongside native Odoo analytics.
• Linux/Docker basics for deployment and troubleshooting.
• ANZ localisation familiarity (e.g., GST) is a plus.

Independent Contractor Perks:

• Permanent work from home
• Immediate hiring
• Health Insurance Coverage for eligible locations
