  • Identify, analyse, and resolve complex network and program support deficiencies

  • Work with vendors to assess products, support implementation, and resolve technical issues

  • Produce high-quality engineering artefacts including HLDs, configuration documents, build guides, SOPs, QA plans, and objective quality evidence

  • Support technical assurance, verification, and lifecycle sustainment activities

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Extensive experience designing and integrating enterprise or deployed network environments

  • Strong understanding of secure and regulated ICT environments

  • Proven ability to produce engineering documentation and assurance artefacts

  • Experience working across multiple stakeholders and vendors

  • Ability to operate autonomously in complex, high-assurance programs

This role suits senior engineers who are comfortable owning outcomes and operating across design, integration, and assurance.
