Network Engineer

• Permanent Network Engineer role
• Brisbane Northside / Hybrid location
• $130,000+super
• High autonomy and empowered role

Our client are a large organisation operating across 40+ sites throughout South East Queensland, and are looking for a hands-on Network Engineer who's ready for a role with real scope and genuine autonomy.

The opportunity
This isn't a break-fix job. You'll be coming in with a clear mandate: understand the network from the ground up, get it documented and to a solid baseline, then drive a consolidation and modernisation agenda that genuinely reduces complexity and adds value to the organisation.

You'll be leading project work: rationalising disparate systems, consolidating products and shaping what the network looks like going forward. 

What you'll be working with

• HP Aruba (switching, routing, wireless, ClearPass)
• Sophos firewall and security stack
• BGP, MPLS, VPNs (IPSec & SSL), VLANs, Spanning Tree
• Multi-site enterprise environments
• ITIL/CAB change management processes
• Confluence for documentation

You'll also have access to external networking consultants and vendor escalation paths through HP and Sophos - you won't be on an island.

What we're looking for

• 3–5 years' experience in network administration / network engineering
• Solid hands-on experience with firewalls and security (Sophos highly regarded)
• Strong routing and switching fundamentals (BGP, MPLS, VLANs, Layer 2/3)
• Enterprise wireless experience (Aruba preferred)
• Comfortable working across multi-site environments and engaging vendors
• ITIL-aware, CAB-process familiar
• A documentation mindset - you write things down and keep them current
• Strong communicator who can engage stakeholders at all levels

The details

• Location: Hybrid - 2 days/week at their Brisbane North offices
• Travel: Occasional site visits across SEQ (Gold Coast to Noosa, and west to Ipswich)
• Driver's licence required

Why here?
You'll be joining a values-driven organisation doing meaningful work in the community, with a team that's genuinely invested in getting the network right. This is a rare chance to take something from baseline to best-practice and have your fingerprints on it.
