Location: Canberra, ACT
Clearance: NV1 (this requires Australian Citizenship)
Work Model: Hybrid
Opportunity: Permanent Full‑Time

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’ll Be Doing

• Deploy Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) templates to stand up core cloud components including compute, storage, and networking.
• Execute migration activities using Azure Migrate, runbooks, and approved change windows.
• Support test cycles and validation ahead of production cutover.
• Produce clear technical documentation and contribute to change management processes.
• Provide short‑term Hypercare support and assist with SOP creation.
• Operate within privileged Azure subscriptions while adhering to strict security and compliance frameworks.

What You Bring

• Strong hands‑on experience across Azure IaaS/PaaS and Azure Migrate tooling.
• IaC authoring skills using ARM, Bicep, or Terraform.
• 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.

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll be joining a high‑performing cloud team delivering meaningful transformation work across critical environments. Expect strong professional development pathways, access to industry certifications, internal mobility options, and a workplace that genuinely invests in its people.

Eligibility

• Must be an Australian Citizenship with a NV1 Security Clearance (mandatory)
