Description

Join our Downer Professional Services team and play a key role in delivering complex defence and national security projects that safeguard Australia’s future. Downer Professional Services is comprised of two business units, our Technical, Advisory, and Capability consulting practice and Team Downer, a major service partner to Defence. Together, we are a multi-disciplinary advisory and delivery partner of choice for our clients in Defence and National Security. We are seeking highly experienced professionals to support critical projects within LC4S. The Land C4 Program is employing a programmatic multiple submission approach to achieve continuous and iterative delivery of capability. This will be enabled by a coordinated and holistic approach to requirements definition and contracting arrangements for future Land C4 systems. What You’ll Do This role offers a broad scope, with key role responsibilities including: Deliver hands‑on hardware and software integration, including building, configuring and validating RHEL/Windows images, servers, laptops, and network devices across lab and representative platform environments. Execute network implementation tasks, configuring IP addressing, VLANs, routing, trunking, and validating performance/QoS across integrated systems. Perform structured troubleshooting and defect management across physical, OS, application, and network layers, including log capture, RCA, and defect tracking. Support security and accreditation, applying OS hardening, producing artefacts such as PPS matrices, diagrams, build guides, and STIG‑style checklists. Produce high‑quality technical documentation and collaborate with engineering, cybersecurity, vendors, and leadership to communicate progress, risks, and system readiness. What You’ll Bring Hands‑on integration capability, including hardware setup and testing of servers, laptops, and network devices, along with experience building and configuring Linux (RHEL) and Windows images, services, drivers, and packages. Strong ability to troubleshoot hardware and software issues methodically, applying structured fault‑isolation techniques and producing clear defect reports. Solid grounding in networking fundamentals such as IP addressing/subnetting, VLANs, trunk/access ports, cabling standards, and basic routing/switching. Highly advantageous exposure to lab‑based Test & Evaluation, OS security hardening (CIS/STIG), virtualisation/containerisation (VMware, KVM, Docker/Podman), CI/CD image pipelines, Defence environments, restricted networks, and scripting for automation. Ability to produce and manage technical artefacts such as network/solution diagrams (Visio/Draw.io) and configuration items in Git, supporting consistent, repeatable, and auditable integration workflows. Due to the nature of the work, you are required to currently hold and maintain a minimum NV1 or higher Security clearance as required by the Commonwealth. In some instances, compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements may also be an inherent requirement. More than anything, you’ll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients.
