About the Team

You’ll join a team where people work with integrity, inclusion, innovation, agility, collaboration and commitment. In practice, that means sharing ownership, solving complex problems together and staying connected to the customer context, the purpose behind the work and how each role contributes to meaningful outcomes.

We deliver secure, resilient and innovative technology services that enable Defence enterprise and warfighting capabilities across multiple classified domains and networks. We provide world-class ICT operations and agile digital modernisation using advanced analytics, automation, hybrid cloud, DevSecOps, Infrastructure as Code, cybersecurity and AI to optimise highly complex, mission-critical environments.

The Opportunity

The Service Desk Analyst provides Level 1 and Level 2 ICT support within a mission-critical network monitoring and operational support environment. Acting as a first point of contact for users, this role ensures timely incident resolution, service restoration, and escalation of technical issues impacting network availability, performance, and operational capability. Working within an ITIL-aligned service management framework, the role supports 24x7 operational environments through proactive monitoring, incident management, customer engagement, and collaboration with technical support teams.

The position will only be open to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander applicants. The filling of this position is intended to constitute an equal opportunity measure under section 8(1) of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth).*

Key responsibilities include:

• Manage incidents and service requests, including logging, categorisation, prioritisation, resolution, and customer communication within agreed service levels.

• Monitor ICT infrastructure, network services, applications, and operational dashboards to identify service degradation, outages, and performance issues.

• Perform incident triage and diagnosis, coordinate escalations to specialist teams, and support service restoration, recovery, and major incident activities.

• Deliver responsive customer support, including troubleshooting assistance, onboarding support, account administration, and access management.

• Contribute to continuous improvement through operational documentation, knowledge management, service improvement initiatives, and compliance activities.

About You

We are looking for someone who brings judgement, curiosity and a collaborative approach to work that matters.

• Demonstrated troubleshooting and diagnostic skills across ICT environments.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with stakeholders and customers.

• Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced operational environment.
