The Opportunity

We're looking for an Aurion Technical Specialist to join the Aurion Systems Team on a contract basis in Canberra. You'll be the hands-on Aurion expert helping to deliver Enterprise Agreement changes and the Aurion roadmap, working across both day-to-day support and system enhancements.

- Work across the full Aurion suite, not just one module, so no two weeks look the same.
- Play a central part in Enterprise Agreement implementation, a high-visibility piece of work with real impact on staff pay and conditions.
- Shape improvements in compliance, data quality, reporting and integrations, rather than simply keeping the lights on.
- Join a collaborative hybrid team of APS staff and contractors who value your expertise.
- Share your know-how and leave a lasting legacy by building APS capability.

The Role You'll configure, enhance and support Aurion HR and payroll capabilities from requirements through to production.

- Analyse business and technical requirements and assess impacts across Aurion modules and integrations.
- Design, configure and maintain Aurion across Payroll, Core HR, Organisation and Position Management, Leave, Timekeeper, Security, Workflow, Reporting and Self-Service.
- Configure payroll rules and Enterprise Agreement conditions in line with legislative and departmental requirements.
- Support interfaces and data exchanges with connected systems.
- Undertake data analysis, remediation,



reconciliation and migration.
- Prepare technical specifications and keep solution and operational documentation up to date.
- Support upgrades, releases and environment management.
- Develop and run unit and system testing, and support user acceptance testing and payroll assurance.
- Investigate and resolve complex incidents and defects, making sure changes are controlled and traceable.
- Work with HR and payroll teams, architects, integration and security specialists and the Aurion vendor.
- Contribute to release planning and advise on technical risks and dependencies.
- Transfer knowledge to APS staff through mentoring and practical support.

The Ideal Person You know Aurion inside and out, and you're the person colleagues turn to when a payroll rule or integration isn't behaving. You enjoy solving complex problems, explaining technical detail in plain English, and leaving a team more capable than you found it.

You will bring the following skills and experience:

- Advanced, hands-on Aurion configuration and administration across at least three modules (e.g. Payroll, Core HR, Leave, Timekeeper, Organisation and Position Management, Security, Workflow, Reporting or Self-Service).
- Proven HR and payroll data migration experience, from profiling and mapping through to reconciliation and cutover.
- Strong knowledge of Aurion data structures and the Query Tool,



plus experience with forms, workflows, batches or Business Process Automation.
- Experience supporting Aurion interfaces, integrations and data exchanges.
- A track record delivering upgrades and releases through controlled environments to production, including testing and defect resolution.
- Confident stakeholder engagement across HR, payroll, ICT and vendor teams, with clear technical documentation and knowledge transfer.
- Australian citizenship and a Baseline security clearance (or the ability to obtain one).

Desirable:
- Experience implementing Australian Government Enterprise Agreement, payroll, superannuation, taxation or other legislative changes in Aurion.
- Experience with advanced Aurion capabilities such as Business Process Automation and Timekeeper.
- Experience in Australian Government ICT environments, including security, privacy, audit, records management and change control.
- Experience using Azure DevOps and ServiceNow to manage work items, releases, incidents, changes and defects.
