• Monitor storage capacity and performance and provide clear trend analysis and planning recommendations.
• Lead data‐recovery activities and manage backup compliance reporting.
• Resolve complex Level 3 storage and backup incidents.
• Participate in change advisory processes for storage‐related changes.
• Collaborate with server, virtualisation and database teams on storage design and integration.
• Maintain technical documentation, including runbooks, architecture records and capacity plans.
• Contribute to storage upgrade and technology‐refresh projects.

What you’ll bring

• Extensive experience in enterprise storage and backup administration, ideally within a complex, large‐scale environment.
• Expert hands‐on experience with Dell PowerMAX or VMAX storage arrays.
• Strong Dell EMC NetWorker administration skills, including client configuration, policy management and recovery.
• Proficiency in Dell Data Domain administration, including replication and Boost protocol.
• Experience administering Dell ECS object storage.
• Sound understanding of SAN fabric concepts and Fibre Channel zoning.
• The ability to analyse storage performance data and provide practical capacity‐planning recommendations.
• Experience working within ITIL‐based incident, change and problem‐management processes.
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with technical and non‐technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work in a hybrid arrangement based in Ballarat.

Bonus points if you have

• Dell storage certifications such as DECS or DCS.
• VMware vSphere storage integration experience across VMFS and NFS datastores.
• Brocade or Cisco MDS SAN fabric administration experience.
• Familiarity with Dell Unity or PowerStore.
• PowerShell or Python scripting and automation skills.
