Overview
Step into the Technical Lead – Field Service Management (FSM) role and make your mark at the heart of Service Stream's enterprise FSM platform. This is a genuine technical lead opportunity—not a people management position—perfect for a savvy, driven professional who thrives on solving complex challenges, shaping standards, and leading technical innovation. If you have a knack for driving change, bringing maturity to platforms, and raising the bar for application excellence, we want you on our team.
You'll collaborate with the Technical Lead – Integration, Functional Lead, operational stakeholders, and technology teams as the go-to technical authority for FSM technical architecture, development, and configuration. Your expertise will set the benchmark for best practice, ensuring solution integrity and quality across both project delivery and BAU environments—while lifting others up and helping them grow technically.
This is a full-time, permanent position based in Melbourne, offering hybrid working arrangements. Please note, only Australian Citizens are eligible to apply.
