Our direct client has an immediate need for an experienced contract Agile Java/J2EE Developer with solid Grails experience.  This Consultant is operating in an agile development process (weekly iterations) and assuming a number of roles that include architect/developer/business analyst. 
Consultant will be re-engineering a capacity modeling application.  This is a project management tool that correlates staffing levels with work and milestones over a timeframe, predicting the amount of work assigned to each person.  This application serves to manage the business-side work associated with a large number of mutual funds.  It is currently written in Access, utilizing uploads from Excel spreadsheets.  It is cumbersome, over-complicated, and not designed for a large audience.  This group needs a consultant to rewrite the application in Grails and make it user friendly.  In addition to other requirements below, the consultant MUST have prior GRAILS experience.
