About the position:

This opportunity spans multiple System Administrator positions operating within the same secure infrastructure environment, covering APS6 to EL1 equivalent seniority. The work supports mission-critical systems across physical, virtual, network, and cloud platforms where reliability, availability, and security are essential

What you’ll do:

• Install, operate, maintain, and retire complex infrastructure within secure environments
• Investigate, diagnose, and resolve system and network issues to maintain service continuity

• Experience analysing service performance and driving remediation or optimisation
• Ability to work calmly and methodically within structured operational frameworks

Seniority fit:

• APS6-equivalent candidates typically focus on operational delivery, issue resolution, automation support, and day-to-day system management
• EL1-equivalent candidates typically own system outcomes end-to-end, lead installation or uplift activities, manage workflows, and influence operational decisions
• At both levels, hands-on technical credibility is essential

Technology & environment:

• Enterprise infrastructure across physical, virtualised, networking, and cloud platforms
• Operating systems, networking, database management, and security protocols
• Infrastructure monitoring, management tools, and automation scripting
• Defence-aligned ICT environments with strict security and operational controls

A quick note before you apply:

• These roles operate inside established, production ICT environments with clear operational expectations from day one
• If your recent experience has been primarily advisory or removed from direct system ownership, this may not align with what the team needs right now
• Relevant Diploma or Bachelor qualification in IT, Computer Science, or a related field
• An active NV2 security clearance is required; clearance sponsorship or upgrades aren’t available for this engagement
• Appointment is subject to an Organisational Suitability Assessment (OSA) to confirm alignment with the operating environment

• Clear acknowledgement of work-life balance challenges, structured to avoid burnout

Why Join?
