Talent is seeking experienced Wintel Infrastructure Engineers for long-term contract opportunities within a highly secure Australian Government environment.

This is specifically a Wintel Engineering requirement. While the role has a strong cyber security and security uplift focus, we are looking for hands-on infrastructure engineers with strong Wintel expertise, rather than candidates from a primarily cyber security, GRC or security advisory background.

• Developing SOPs for security and system administration activities
• Participating in technical workshops covering infrastructure design and remediation
• Prototyping security configurations and developing technical advice
• Supporting vulnerability assessment and cyber risk remediation activities

What we’re looking for
We are particularly interested in Wintel Engineers who can demonstrate strong infrastructure engineering capability alongside cyber security experience, including:

• Strong hands-on Wintel / Windows infrastructure engineering experience
• At least 5 years’ technical cyber security experience
• Experience securing and administering enterprise systems
• Experience implementing one or more of the Essential Eight Mitigation Strategies
• Scripting or application development experience to automate system administration or vulnerability assessment activities
• Experience developing tools or automation to assist with cyber risk assessment and remediation

Highly regarded experience includes:

• Active Directory security and remediation, including activities relating to the detection and mitigation of AD compromises
• Cloud infrastructure experience across Azure and/or AWS

Working arrangements: Onsite
Initial term: 12 months
