Do Work That Matters

Leidos Australia delivers IT and airborne solutions that protect and advance the Australian way of life. Our 2000 local experts, backed by our global experience and network of partners, are working to solve the world’s toughest challenges in government, intelligence, defence, aviation, border protection and health markets.

Your New Role and Responsibilities

Join a small, high-performing team dedicated to supporting our team in delivering improvement initiatives for Geoscience Australia. Operating as an agile improvement team rather than through traditional project structures, we rapidly assess, design, and implement solutions that drive meaningful change across ICT systems and processes.

As a Senior Systems Engineer , you will play a pivotal role in turning ideas into action—bringing clarity, structure, and execution to a diverse range of initiatives. This role requires someone who can understand complex problems, design practical solutions, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end implementation of improvement initiatives across End User Workspace, Cloud, Infrastructure, Process, and IT Service Management domains—ensuring alignment with business needs and technical standards.
  • Collaborate with the Business Analyst and Solutions Architect to shape solution approaches, prepare technical documentation for approval, and produce user-focused materials that support adoption.
  • Implement, test, and integrate solutions within enterprise environments, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum value for stakeholders.
  • Identify potential risks early, develop mitigation strategies, and proactively seek opportunities to enhance delivery outcomes.
  • Share expertise with the team, provide guidance, and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and collaborative learning.
  • Qualifications & Experience

    You’ll bring a strong foundation in systems engineering, with the ability to work across a broad range of technologies and domains. Your experience will demonstrate both depth and versatility in delivering ICT solutions within complex environments.

  • Demonstrated hands-on systems engineering experience, ideally within Federal Government or similarly complex environments, with a track record of delivering impactful outcomes.
  • Proven capability across Microsoft platforms (Windows Server, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP), virtualisation (VMware, Citrix), scripting and automation tools (PowerShell, Ansible, Terraform), enterprise monitoring (SCOM, SCCM, vCOPS), and cloud services (AWS, Azure, Oracle).
  • Familiarity with ITIL 4 principles and formal engineering methodologies, with a strong grasp of system lifecycle management, documentation standards, and continuous improvement practices.
  • Understanding of security protocols, certificate authorities, and technology management, with the ability to design and implement solutions that meet compliance and governance requirements.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders, drive consensus, and deliver results in a collaborative environment.
  • Don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We’re most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.

    Diverse Team Members, Shared Values and a Common Purpose

    Providing our customers with smarter solutions takes an incredible team with diversity of thought, experience and perspectives driving innovation. Inclusion is at the heart of our culture and is one of our core values. It’s about creating a workplace where everyone can do important work, feels welcome, valued, and respected, and has equal access to opportunities to thrive. Paul Chase – Chief Executive, Leidos Australia.

    Next Steps

  • To apply for this role, follow the links or apply via our Careers page.
  • Recruitment process - 1 virtual interview and / or 1 face-to-face & background checks.

  • We are committed to making our recruitment process accessible to all candidates. Please get in touch with our Careers team careers.au@leidos.com if you’d like to discuss any additional support during your application or throughout the recruitment process.
  • At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

    If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
