Senior Project Engineer
North Sydney | Circa $170K + Super | Azure, Infrastructure, Networking & Security
Full-time | Technically led Microsoft SI / MSP

Why leave a current role for this one?
Because the interesting action in technology is in the mid-market - where the projects are complex, decisions get made faster and strong engineers can genuinely influence the outcome.

Our client is a well-established AU owned, founder lead, systems integrator / MSP with substantial project work already secured, a strong technical team and premium customers. Enterprise-level technical challenge without disappearing into enterprise-level bureaucracy - more ownership, more variety and a clearer connection between your work and the customer outcome.

The opportunity
Experienced Senior Project Engineer to join the Professional Services team and lead hands-on infrastructure and cloud projects from technical discovery through design, delivery and transition.
This is not routine managed-services support. You'll work directly with customers, contribute to architecture and detailed solution design, make technical decisions, coordinate delivery stakeholders, resolve complex issues and own outcomes.

The setting spans Azure, Microsoft 365, enterprise networking, firewalls and security, datacentre, Linux and automation. Relevant technologies include Azure VMs/VNets, ExpressRoute, VPNs, Defender, Sentinel, PowerShell, Azure DevOps and Bicep.

Why this provider?

- Substantial infrastructure and cloud project work already secured and underway
- Complex projects across energy, utilities, critical infrastructure, healthcare and other sectors




- End-to-end ownership from discovery and design through deployment and transition
- Direct access to customers, senior technical leaders and decision-makers
- A technically led environment with experienced engineers, consultants and architects around you
- Autonomy and accountability without unnecessary corporate layers or micromanagement
- Paid training, certifications, additional leave, well-being benefits and performance-linked rewards
- Career pathway toward Senior Consultant, Solutions Architect, principal consulting or technical leadership

What you'll bring
You'll ideally bring 5+ years' experience in IT consulting, professional services or complex infrastructure project delivery, with a track record of taking significant projects from concept through completion.
You'll have strong hands-on capability across Microsoft/Azure infrastructure and enterprise networking, sound security knowledge, and the confidence to work directly with customers and explain technical issues clearly. Strong documentation, judgement, problem-solving and the maturity to mentor less experienced engineers will matter as much as technical depth.

Why make the move?
If you're already successful and reasonably happy where you are, changing organisations needs to offer more than a different logo and job title. This role offers complex secured work, broader ownership, a strong technical peer group and the agility of a growing mid-market provider.
You don't need to be actively looking. If you're a strong infrastructure engineer wondering what the next step looks like, let's have a confidential conversation.
