Tektalent has exclusively partnered with a highly respected managed services provider in Australia — one that's invested years into building a genuinely great place to work. The result: exceptional retention, multiple "Best Places to Work" awards, and a team that's engaged rather than just employed.

Our client services a broad range of Australian businesses, offering implementation services, technical advisory, cloud services, IT modernisation, managed IT support and more.

Their edge isn't just technical capability — it's that this quality of service comes from a genuinely satisfied, well-supported team, not despite the environment but because of it.

The role is permanent, with genuine flexibility to work from the office or from home. Our client is based in Brisbane's inner city, with easy access for commuting.

The System Engineer acts as the last technical stop for all break/fix and service requests within the Managed Services business unit.
