Permanent Network Engineer role

* $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
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.
