Level 2 Technician (MSP) Melbourne | Hybrid - work from home ~90% of the time, with client visits and team catch-ups in Cremorne and on the Mornington PeninsulaOwn the queue, then own your own projects, then pick the area you want to go deep in.
Funded certs and a team small enough that the work is genuinely yours.Kavira IT is a Melbourne MSP looking after IT operations and cyber security for Australian small and medium businesses.
Security is where the work starts here rather than something sold on later, and it runs through everything from the first environment review to the day-to-day queue.Clients sit across professional services, agencies, and growing SMBs, running Microsoft, Google Workspace and Apple environments.
The team is small, senior-weighted, and growing.
This hire is part of that growth.The roleThis is a capacity hire.
The client base has grown, the queue has grown with it, and the team needs someone who can be handed a problem and be trusted to handle it.The title says Level 2.
The bar sits higher than the label.
A standard Level 1 to 2 technician will not clear it, and neither will five years at a large MSP doing a narrow slice of the work.
Kavira needs the harder combination: two to three years of real MSP exposure, still curious about how things could be done differently, and already working with modern tooling rather than clicking through the same manual process every time.You will start on the queue and escalations.
Within a few months you will be picking up the groundwork on client projects, and from six months you will be running smaller ones yourself, scoping through to delivery.
From there the direction is yours.
As the business grows, so does the room to become the person the team routes a whole area of work to.What you'll doTriage and resolve escalated tickets across Microsoft 365, devices, Entra ID, Intune, and Google WorkspaceDiagnose before you escalate, and escalate with a diagnosis rather than a descriptionContribute to client security hardening:
