You will work alongside experienced members of the Department of Information Technology to ensure systems such as GovNet, SAPANet, SAWNet and Government hardware remain reliable, secure and operational.

While this is the standard recruitment position for joining the Department of Information Technology, it should not necessarily be considered an entry-level position into the Information Technology profession. All applicants, regardless of previous experience, qualifications or technical background, will apply through this role. An applicant’s previous employment history, qualifications, certifications and technical knowledge will be taken into consideration during the recruitment process, and successful applicants may be appointed to a more appropriate position within the department where justified.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Provide first-line technical assistance to Government employees experiencing issues with Government systems, software and technology. Respond to GovNet support tickets, troubleshoot software and hardware issues, and elevate complex incidents where appropriate.

HARDWARE & INFRASTRUCTURE

Assist with building, configuring and deploying Government workstations, mobile devices and office technology. Support networking deployments, hardware repairs, office relocations, workstation installations and preventative maintenance while helping maintain an accurate inventory of Government technology assets.

OPERATIONAL SUPPORT

Assist in monitoring Government technology services, responding to reported outages and supporting departmental technology initiatives. Work collaboratively with senior staff to ensure Government departments have reliable access to the systems and infrastructure required to carry out their daily responsibilities.

About the Department

The department oversees core Government technology platforms including GovNet, SAPANet, SAWNet, Government computer infrastructure, internal communication systems, mobile devices, networking infrastructure and future digital services.

The Department consists of two specialist bureaus:

The bureau manages technical support requests, hardware deployments, workstation configuration, networking projects, mobile devices and infrastructure maintenance to ensure Government operations continue without interruption.

Development Bureau

The Development Bureau is responsible for developing, maintaining and improving Government software platforms and digital services. This includes ongoing development of GovNet, supporting SAPANet and SAWNet, delivering new technology solutions and driving the Government’s long-term digital transformation strategy.
