ABOUT OUR TEAM/MŌ TE TĪMA

The IT infrastructure team at Otago University have the privilege of managing and supporting one of the largest and most complex IT sites in New Zealand. We provide many of the systems and services that the University needs in order to deliver high quality research and teaching outcomes.
An internal promotion has resulted in a vacancy within our engineering team and we are now looking for a Systems Engineer to join the team.

Technically, we are looking for someone with some skills around how to build and manage servers; we support a fleet of around 1,100 virtual machines split roughly 50:50 between Windows and Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). You don’t have to be an expert to join our team, what we are looking for is someone with the right attitude that wants to take their IT skills to the next level.

The person for this role will:

• Have a proven track record of being a team player who helps teams succeed.
• Be excited about learning and adapting to new technology and trends.
• Understand that being good with people is just as crucial as technical skills.
• Be skilled at tackling tough problems with creative solutions.

If you think you can tick these boxes, we would be really excited to talk to you and hear about how a role in our team fits into your IT journey. We are looking for someone with drive, enthusiasm and a desire to build their skills.
