As a Senior ICT Systems (Server) Administrator, you will be responsible for providing expert advice on the design, delivery and uplift of Server (Wintel and/or *Nix) services in support of both service improvement and major project activities across the Strategic Communication and Coalition Interoperability realms of Defence ICT Operations.
Under broad oversight from the Deputy Director Strategic Communication Delivery, and in response to Project Manager and/or wider team needs, the successful candidate will be responsible to work as part of one or more Project delivery teams to deliver server-focused outcomes. The role will be responsible for leading the design, deployment, hardening and uplift of Server-related services in support of Strategic Communication and Coalition Interoperability outcomes on behalf of Australian Defence and our Coalition partners.
The position capitalises on specialist knowledge and experience to assist with the design and delivery of Project capability in support of prescribed Directorate, and wider Defence outcomes.
About our Team
Within the Joint Capabilities Group (JCG), the Defence Strategic Communication Branch (DSCB) – Strategic Communication Sustainment & Coalition Interoperability (SCSCI) is a large and complex team of people tasked with providing efficient oversight and uplift of critical services serving the wider Australian Defence Force and our Coalition partners.
This role will form an important part of the wider capability sustainment and uplift outcomes delivered by the Directorate and the Branch. The position capitalises on specialist knowledge and experience to deliver server driven outcomes in support of secure communication and information sharing initiatives within Defence, and between AUS Defence and our allied/coalition partners.
Our Ideal Candidate
This is a widely focused role covering a variety of Server engineering outcomes in support of the Defence Strategic Communication and Coalition Interoperability outcomes.
