Not every technician gets to work on infrastructure that keeps people connected where normal networks do not reach. I am Andrew from Itch, and I am looking for a practical, switched-on technician for a specialist satellite communications business operating a critical gateway site in Dubbo.

This is hands-on site work. RF equipment. Antennas. Power. Cooling. Fibre. Security systems. The infrastructure behind a live satellite gateway that needs to keep doing its job.

You will monitor the site, respond to alarms, troubleshoot faults, complete preventative maintenance and coordinate contractors. You will not be sitting behind a desk all day closing tickets and passing problems on.

WHAT STANDS OUT
Satellite and RF infrastructure, not standard IT support
A broad technical mix: antennas, power, cooling, cabling, access control and CCTV
Genuine ownership of a critical operational site
A chance to become the trusted technical resource locally
Enough variety to keep a practical problem-solver interested

YOU WILL NEED
Experience in telecommunications, RF, radio, satellite, critical infrastructure or similar technical settings
Solid fault-finding ability,



mechanical aptitude and basic electrical or electronic troubleshooting skills
An understanding of RF communications systems
Experience with Cat5/6 and fibre cabling
Comfort using technical documentation, ticketing systems, Windows and Linux
A current driver’s licence
A safety-first mindset and the maturity to know when to fix, escalate or ask for help

You do not need to have worked on a satellite gateway before. You do need to be calm under pressure, good with your hands and proud of doing maintenance properly before something breaks. THE PRACTICAL BIT

This is five days on site in Dubbo, with an on-call roster and occasional after-hours call-outs.

You will receive a company phone, laptop and parking, plus the chance to build specialist capability in a technical field with a relatively limited pool of dedicated satellite and RF roles across Australia.

All applicants must hold full Australian work rights & currently live in Dubbo or be able to travel to the work location daily

Apply with your CV. If you are the type of technician who wants to get to the bottom of a problem, rather than pass it on, I want to hear from you (08 6140 1*).
