  • Permanent Network Engineer role
  • Brisbane Northside / Hybrid location
  • $130,000+super
  • High autonomy and empowered role
Our client are a large organisation operating across 40+ sites throughout South East Queensland, and are looking for a hands-on Network Engineer who's ready for a role with real scope and genuine autonomy.

The opportunity
This isn't a break-fix job. You'll be coming in with a clear mandate: understand the network from the ground up, get it documented and to a solid baseline, then drive a consolidation and modernisation agenda that genuinely reduces complexity and adds value to the organisation.

You'll be leading project work: rationalising disparate systems, consolidating products and shaping what the network looks like going forward. 

What you'll be working with
  • HP Aruba (switching, routing, wireless, ClearPass)
  • Sophos firewall and security stack
  • BGP, MPLS, VPNs (IPSec & SSL), VLANs, Spanning Tree
  • Multi-site enterprise environments
  • ITIL/CAB change management processes
  • Confluence for documentation
You'll also have access to external networking consultants and vendor escalation paths through HP and Sophos - you won't be on an island.

What we're looking for
  • 3–5 years' experience in network administration / network engineering
  • Solid hands-on experience with firewalls and security (Sophos highly regarded)
  • Strong routing and switching fundamentals (BGP, MPLS, VLANs, Layer 2/3)
  • Enterprise wireless experience (Aruba preferred)
  • Comfortable working across multi-site environments and engaging vendors
  • ITIL-aware, CAB-process familiar
  • A documentation mindset - you write things down and keep them current
  • Strong communicator who can engage stakeholders at all levels
The details
  • Location: Hybrid - 2 days/week at their Brisbane North offices
  • Travel: Occasional site visits across SEQ (Gold Coast to Noosa, and west to Ipswich)
  • Driver's licence required
Why here?
You'll be joining a values-driven organisation doing meaningful work in the community, with a team that's genuinely invested in getting the network right. This is a rare chance to take something from baseline to best-practice and have your fingerprints on it.
