What will this job do to improve your life?

If you enjoy being a hands-on Network Engineer rather than being stuck working on one product or technology, this is a genuinely broad role. You’ll work across a complex operational network environment covering Cisco, Palo Alto, data centres, routing, switching and some voice, with enough project work to keep things interesting.

The Low Down

This is primarily an operational role, with around 20-30% of your time supporting projects and smaller initiatives. The team owns the design and operation of the network across two campuses and looks after everything from switching, routing and data centres through to firewalls, communications infrastructure, UPS/PDU environments and voice. 

What You Will Be Doing

• Support and operate Cisco and Palo Alto network environments

• Work across routing, switching, firewalls and data centre networking

• Troubleshoot network incidents, faults and service requests

• Manage day-to-day adds, moves, changes and network requests

• Support network changes, upgrades and smaller project initiatives

• Work across a broad range of network technologies and systems

What Experience Will You Need?

• Strong hands-on Cisco networking experience

• Good Palo Alto firewall experience

• Broad routing and switching capability

• Some exposure to voice or PABX environments would be beneficial, particularly Alcatel or Mitel

• Experience across multi-site environments such as banking, universities, campuses or large enterprise organisations would be highly regarded

• Comfortable working independently without being micromanaged

• Australian Citizenship

What's In It For You?

• Initial 12-month contract with potential to extend

• Broad technical environment rather than being pigeonholed into one technology

• Mix of operational networking and project work
