The Systems Engineer is accountable under general direction to design, implement, sustain, and optimise enterprise endpoint configuration management capabilities based on Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (MECM).

* Develop, test, and maintain application packages, task sequences, collections, deployment workflows, and PowerShell automation to support deployment, monitoring, and reporting.
* Configure and manage Software Update Points (SUPs), ADRs, maintenance windows, configuration baselines, compliance controls, and remediation activities aligned with security and assurance requirements.
* Perform technical investigation and resolution of MECM‑related issues across clients, site systems, and content distribution, contributing to integration, verification, validation, and acceptance activities.
* Produce and maintain technical documentation and engineering artefacts, while collaborating closely with project managers, architects, security teams, and service operations.
About You and What You'll Bring
* Tertiary qualifications in IT, Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.
* Demonstrated experience supporting Microsoft MECM in Defence or large‑enterprise environments, with strong knowledge of Windows client OS, Active Directory, and Group Policy.
* Skilled in application packaging and deployment technologies (MSI, MSIX, scripted installers) and capable of producing effective PowerShell‑based automation.
* Proven ability to deliver patching and compliance outcomes within regulated environments, with knowledge of modern endpoint management practices and exposure to Intune/Co‑Management.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively across multi‑disciplinary teams.
