Hamilton Barnes; Western Australia; On-site; AUD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Hamilton Barnes seeks an experienced Network Design Engineer to lead and deliver design for mining and remote-site networks across Western Australia. You will create microwave PtP/PtMP, Wi‑Fi, LAN/WAN, satellite and hybrid connectivity solutions aligned with site constraints.

You will develop high-level and detailed designs, RF paths, capacity planning and RF budgets, and produce HLDs/LLDs, IP plans and drawings while collaborating with customers, vendors and internal teams.

Qualifications

• Strong routing and switching background, ideally CCNA/CCNP or equivalent.
• RF engineering knowledge covering microwave PtP/PtMP and Wi‑Fi design.
• Understanding of Australian spectrum and regulatory requirements.
• Strong networking protocols: OSPF, IS‑IS, BGP, MPLS, multicast, QoS.
• Experience configuring enterprise or carrier-grade routing and switching environments.
• Experience delivering networks in mining, remote industrial or multi-site environments.
• Ability to produce high-quality HLDs, LLDs, network diagrams and RF budgets.
• Comfortable across presales, detailed design, implementation and field commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Lead and support technical design for mining and remote-site network projects.
• Design microwave PtP/PtMP, Wi-Fi, LAN/WAN, satellite and hybrid connectivity solutions.
• Produce high-level and detailed designs covering RF paths, frequency planning, capacity, resilience, power and network integration.
• Translate customer requirements and site constraints into viable, commercially supported solutions.
• Support project scoping, BOM creation, design assumptions, risk assessments and technical proposals.
• Finalize network designs after site surveys, vendor requirements and construction feedback.
• Produce and maintain HLDs, LLDs, network drawings, IP plans, RF link budgets and as-built documentation.
• Ensure designs follow consistent engineering, testing and handover standards.
• Work with Core Network team to integrate solutions into wider service-provider network.
• Contribute to routing, switching, MPLS/VPN, QoS, peering, aggregation and hand-off design and configuration.
• Ensure customer-edge solutions align with core network standards and capacity needs.
• Plan and conduct remote-site surveys and RF assessments for microwave and Wi-Fi environments.
• Provide RF engineering expertise throughout design, installation and commissioning.
