Your New Role and Responsibilities
As a Help Desk Engineer, you will support the systems, users, and services that keep secure national programs operating effectively every day. Your work will directly contribute to maintaining the reliability and availability of critical ICT environments that enable analysts, operators, and technical teams across government, defence, and intelligence missions.

* Perform systems administration including provisioning, endpoint and server maintenance, patching, configuration management, and system health monitoring.
* Administer and support secure or classified environments in accordance with security frameworks and operational procedures.
* Conduct root cause analysis and contribute to problem management, long‐term remediation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
* Provide hands‐on, on‐site ICT support including device deployments, workstation builds, secure network patching, cabling, and hardware lifecycle management.
* Liaise directly with users, stakeholders, and VIP/operational staff to resolve in‐facility issues where remote support is insufficient.
* Collaborate with engineering, network, cyber, and operations teams to support system upgrades, integrations, escalated incidents, and uplift Help Desk capability.
What You'll Bring to Make an Impact
* Degree in a relevant ICT discipline or equivalent industry experience, certifications, or demonstrated operational capability.
* Experience in Defence, intelligence, or other secure operational environments highly regarded.
* Strong background in ICT support, system administration, or operational ICT engineering.
* Demonstrated expertise in Windows administration, endpoint and server management, Active Directory/IAM, network fundamentals, and system monitoring.
* Proven ability to independently manage complex incidents, make sound technical decisions, and provide technical leadership.
* Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor junior engineers and maintain secure, compliant ICT operations.
