Job Description

About our client

n

Our client is delivering a large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure transformation programme of national significance, focused on modernising core platforms within a highly secure and regulated environment.

n

This programme spans multiple data centres and secure environments, forming part of a broader enterprise-wide uplift of critical infrastructure capability. It involves the migration of legacy virtualised environments into a modern, highly segmented and secure architecture powered by Cisco ACI and next-generation networking principles.

n

Operating within a Defence-aligned environment, the infrastructure being built and transitioned is fundamental to ongoing operations, meaning every change, configuration and cutover must be executed with precision, discipline and zero margin for error.

n

This is a complex, multi-stream programme delivered in structured migration waves, where network stability, segmentation and connectivity are critical to the success of the overall transformation.

n

About the role

n

You will play a key role in the execution layer of the network transformation, working hands-on within migration waves to ensure seamless delivery across a Cisco ACI-driven architecture.

n

This role sits at the centre of delivery — you will be working directly on cutovers, transitions and live environment changes, ensuring network integrity across compute, storage and VDI workloads.

n

Key responsibilities

n

n
- Configure and manage Cisco ACI fabric, including EPGs, Contracts, policy enforcement and segmentation
n
- Execute DNS,



DHCP and IP transition activities aligned to migration waves and cutover schedules
n
- Support and deliver network cutovers within tightly controlled maintenance windows
n
- Validate and monitor network isolation and micro-segmentation policies during migration
n
- Troubleshoot connectivity issues across compute, storage and VDI layers
n
- Work closely with architects and engineers to ensure designs are implemented correctly and consistently
n
- Support high-pressure migration events, ensuring minimal disruption to critical services
n

n

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role, operating in an environment where attention to detail, speed of execution and technical accuracy are critical.

n

The successful candidate

n

You are a strong network engineer who thrives in high-pressure, high-impact delivery environments, and is comfortable working within large-scale transformation programmes.

n

n
- 5–7+ years experience in enterprise network administration
n
- Proven hands-on experience with Cisco ACI environments (EPGs, Contracts, segmentation)
n
- Strong understanding of network segmentation, IP addressing, DNS/DHCP and migration cutovers
n




- Experience supporting data centre migrations or large-scale infrastructure transitions
n
- Robust troubleshooting capability across multi-layered environments (network, compute, storage)
n
- Able to operate calmly and effectively during critical cutover windows
n
- NV2 clearance preferred, OR NV1 with NV2 actively in progress (mandatory for consideration)
n

n

What is on offer

n

n
- $170,000 + super + performance bonus
n
- Opportunity to work on a mission-critical programme supporting nationally significant systems
n
- Long-term engagement (initial 2-year fixed term contract with robust extension potential)
n
- Melbourne or Adelaide preferred, with flexibility for FIFO arrangements across Australia
n
- Work alongside high-calibre architects and engineers in a high-performing delivery team
n
- Exposure to cutting-edge network technologies in a complex, large-scale environment
n

n

Why this opportunity stands out

n

This is not a BAU network role.

n

You will be working at the centre of a live transformation programme, contributing directly to the delivery of infrastructure that supports critical national capability.

n

The environment is fast-paced, highly structured and demanding — but it offers the opportunity to build experience at scale, work with leading technologies, and be part of something genuinely meaningful.

n

If you're looking to step into a role where your work has real impact, real complexity and real purpose, this is it.
