If You want to work in the mainframe world
You will have to do some researching and reading about the professional roles involved and their names .

Did you read Enrico's post? Did you read the article to which he posted the link?

I would say that, in general, there is no such role as 'mainframe administrator' unlike in unix. You would have administrators in various subsets of the mainframe eg storage, database, operations etc.
