Job description

Melbourne, inner suburbs | 12-month contract | On-site

About the company

Our client is a substantial Victorian public sector organisation based in inner Melbourne. It is midway through a multi-year technology modernisation program covering cloud adoption, infrastructure resilience, security uplift and operational performance across a hybrid Microsoft environment.

About the role

Reporting to technology leadership, you own day-to-day infrastructure operations while staying technically hands-on across Azure, on-premises and hybrid platforms, networking, identity, backup, disaster recovery, monitoring and managed services. You lead the operational work and the vendors behind it.

Duties

  • Own daily operations across cloud, servers, storage, network, identity and backup
  • Lead major incident response, recovery, communications and post-incident improvement
  • Build, migrate and optimise Azure and hybrid platforms against architecture standards
  • Drive patching, hardening and vulnerability remediation to Essential Eight and NIST CSF
  • Manage vendors and managed service providers, and advise senior stakeholders on risk

Skills & experience

  • Proven operational leadership and service ownership in a complex enterprise environment
  • Deep hands-on Azure, Windows Server, virtualisation or HCI, and Microsoft 365 integration
  • Strong enterprise networking: firewalls, WAF, routing, switching, DNS and segmentation
  • Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity ownership, including RTO and RPO testing
  • Current Working with Children Check, National Police Check and Victorian driver licence

Culture

A small, pragmatic technology team that values people who take ownership rather than wait for direction. Decisions are made quickly, technical judgement is respected, and the work is visible across the organisation. You will be the person others escape to. Candidates must be able to work predominantly on-site and participate in agreed after-hours incident response.

Benefits

  • 12-month engagement with a confirmed October 2026 start
  • Lead-level day rate, negotiated on demonstrated experience
  • Single point of ownership, not a shared support seat
  • Broad scope across cloud, network, identity, DR and security
  • Direct access to senior technology decision makers
  • Inner-Melbourne location with straightforward public transport access
