Hands-on network engineers needed for a large-scale on-site deployment project in Canberra.




Your new company

A large-scale network deployment is underway across 15 core sites for a major institution. This is a multi-year program with strong potential for contract extensions. The work is strictly project-focused. Engineers will be dedicated to roll out activities and will not be involved in business-as-usual (BAU) operations. The deployment team will work alongside internal network operations but will remain focused solely on delivery.


Your new role

We're building a new team of hands-on Network Engineers and are open to both senior and junior profiles:
  • Senior Engineers: Expected to take ownership of tasks, mentor junior staff, and help drive project outcomes.
  • Junior Engineers: Needed for physical deployment tasks such as racking, stacking, and commissioning switch stacks.
This role is implementation-focused and does not involve design or architecture work.


What you'll need to succeed

  • The network is transitioning from Cisco to Arista.
  • While Arista experience is preferred, engineers with strong Cisco backgrounds are encouraged to apply, training will be provided.
  • Some exposure to automation tools (e.g., Python, Ansible) is a bonus, but not essential.
  • The automation component is part of the broader solution but is not the core focus of this role.
  • Proactive and comfortable with hands-on deployment work
  • Experienced in racking, stacking, and commissioning network equipment
  • Open to learning Arista if coming from a Cisco background.
  • Team players who can work independently and support others
  • Available to start quickly and commit to a long-term project


What you'll get in return

  • Impactful Work: Contribute to meaningful projects that make a difference in the federal space.
  • Competitive Salary: Enjoy a salary package that reflects your skills and experience.
  • Career Growth: Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible working arrangements to help you balance your personal and professional life.
  • Supportive Environment: Work within a collaborative and supportive team environment.
