Network Administrator

Mid level Network Administrator

About the role

Join a growing team within a very well established MSP supporting a large, distributed network environment.

Acting as the “middle layer” between service desk and a Senior Network Engineer, you will own day‑to‑day network administration, assisting with projects, and steadily growing your capabilities and skillset.

This is an ideal opportunity for a junior–mid level network administrator who is keen to upskill on the job.

What you’ll do

• Support, configure, and administer routers, switches, across a multi‑site environment (configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, documentation).
• Assist with deployments and change activities
• Triage and resolve network incidents; escalating to the Senior Network Engineer when needed.
• Contribute to IT project work (e.g., site upgrades, device rollouts, standardisation).
• Maintain solid network documentation (diagrams, change logs, standards).
• Provide light systems support (e.g., AD user/admin tasks, DNS/DHCP basics) when required.

Tech you’ll “play with”

• Primary: Ubiquiti UniFi and Fortinet FortiGate
• Also great: Cisco (ASA/IOS/Firepower), VMware NSX (nice to have)

About you

• 3+ years’ experience in networking (you’ve configured real gear before).
• Base‑level certifications such as CCNA or CompTIA Network+ highly regarded.
• Comfortable working from the office (southern part of Brisbane) with occasional travel to sites for setups
• Clear communicator, structured troubleshooter, and diligent documenter.
• Full Australian work rights; valid driver’s licence and access to a car for occasional site work.

Why join

• Genuine growth path in a supportive team environment
• Varied work across a big footprint—plenty of chances to learn modern network tech.
• Stable, permanent role with competitive base ($90k–$100k + super).
