About the Role

A major transformation program is underway, and our client is expanding it's team with experienced Azure Engineers who can help deliver large‑scale workload migrations into a secure, enterprise cloud environment. You’ll play a hands‑on role across build, migration, cutover, and post‑implementation support, working within a structured change‑controlled setting.

What You Bring

• Strong hands‑on experience across Azure IaaS/PaaS and Azure Migrate tooling.

• Solid grounding in either cloud platform engineering (compute, storage, landing zones) or cloud networking/security (firewalls, load balancers, DNS/DHCP, NSGs).
• Comfort working within CAB‑governed environments and structured change processes.
• Understanding of cloud migration methodologies (8Rs framework).

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Experience delivering migration factory engagements.
• Familiarity with Australian Government cyber frameworks (ISM, Essential Eight, DSPF).
• Scripting capability in PowerShell, Python, or similar.
