About the role:

An opportunity exists for an experienced Systems Administrator Engineer to join a major communications and infrastructure environment as a Level 3 Radio Systems & Infrastructure Engineer. This is an SME-level engineering position supporting a key Tier 1 Mining customer account, providing high-level technical support across critical radio systems, servers, network infrastructure and associated services.

While the role sits within a radio systems environment, the primary focus is server and systems administration, IP networking and services management, rather than traditional RF engineering. A strong understanding of how radio, transmission, servers and network infrastructure operate together as a complete system will be highly valued.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of telecommunications, IT infrastructure and mission-critical systems.
