• Experience designing, building and supporting complex ICT infrastructure, networks and systems.
• Experience installing, configuring and managing physical and virtual hardware and software environments.

• Knowledge of security principles and the ability to apply security-by-design approaches to ICT solutions.
• Experience performing firmware updates, security audits and system maintenance activities.
• Ability to create and maintain technical documentation including network diagrams, rack layouts, infrastructure designs and deployment documentation.
• Experience using diagramming and design tools such as Microsoft Visio or similar platforms.
• Experience working within Agile delivery programs, including adaptive planning, user story development and story point estimation.
• Experience using or supporting technologies such as Red Hat Linux, SharePoint and DOORS.
• Experience with hardware installation activities, including the build, integration and installation of equipment racks.

Advantageous

• Experience with EPM document structures and CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations.
• Experience supporting highly secure or mission-critical ICT environments.
• Familiarity with systems integration, infrastructure modernisation and complex technology refresh activities.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams delivering large-scale technology programs.
