Network Engineer

Intrinzic are proud to be partnering exclusively with a well-established Australian firm recognised for its delivery of high-performance, mission-critical infrastructure and construction projects across the country.
  
We’re looking for a Network Engineer who loves getting hands-on, solving problems, and driving real impact by helping modernise and secure a large-scale enterprise network that supports mission-critical operations across Australia.
  
You’ll be joining a growing technology team that’s taking greater ownership of the company’s infrastructure as it scales. This is a key role — you’ll help build out capability, bring ideas to life, and grow with the business as it continues to invest in its technology foundations.
  
Given the nature of the work, Australian Citizenship is required, along with the ability to obtain and maintain a Baseline Security Clearance (sponsored by the company). Candidates who already hold an active clearance will be highly regarded.
  

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting and maintaining the organisation’s enterprise network across multiple sites, including core switches, routers, firewalls, SD-WAN and load balancing infrastructure.
• Working at Level 2/3 support and fault-rectification for network incidents, with the goal of driving stability and reliability.
• Participating in network transformation projects: modernising architecture, migrating to hybrid/cloud connectivity, optimising performance and security.
• Monitoring network health, performing trend analysis, tuning network systems and identifying improvements.
• Contributing to documentation, knowledge-sharing and mentoring within the technical team.
• Responsible for change, incident and problem-management practices, including stakeholder communication and vendor engagement.
• Acting proactively: not just “fixing things” but identifying root causes, mitigating risks, leading enhancements and strengthening the network.
• Participating in the on-call roster and supporting disaster recovery and business continuity activities as required.

  
What we’re looking for Essential:

• 4+ years’ experience in network operations/support within a large or complex enterprise environment.
• Hands-on in configuring and supporting: Cisco Nexus & Catalyst (OSPF, BGP, MPLS, VRF, VLAN, QoS), Palo Alto firewalls, Meraki SD-WAN/Wireless/Switching, Cloud network connectivity (e.g. AWS Direct Connect, Megaport), and load-balancers/delivery-controllers (F5 BIG-IP or Citrix NetScaler).
• Experience with enterprise network monitoring tools (e.g. SolarWinds or PRTG).
• Strong time-management, stakeholder communication, customer-service focus, and vendor management.
• Australian citizenship is essential. Baseline security clearance (or the ability to obtain) is required; higher clearance preferred.

Preferred:

• Certifications such as CCNA (essential) and ideally CCNP or PCNSA/PCNSE.
• Knowledge of VMware networking, Windows DNS/DHCP.
• Experience in agile methodologies and infrastructure architecture principles.

Why you should apply

• A dynamic permanent role with real ownership of your domain.
• A company that values initiative, technical excellence and continuous improvement.
• A highly competitive salary package aligned with market, plus superannuation ($140,000 - $150,000 + Super)
• Based in North Sydney – a well-connected location with flexible work options.

If you are an Australian Citizen, hold an active security clearance and are looking for your next opportunity, we would love to hear from you.
