Job title: Senior IT Systems Administrator | FIFO Papua New Guinea (6/2)
Location: Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Work type: Full time
Salary: $140,000 package (inclusive of super)

About the opportunity
The Consortio Group is partnering with a leading construction and marine engineering group based in Port Moresby, Papua Current Guinea. They’re looking for a Senior IT Systems Administrator to look after their infrastructure and end user environment across a busy, multi-site operation.
This is a FIFO role out of Brisbane on a 6/2 roster (6 weeks onsite in Port Moresby, 2 weeks home in Australia). You’ll report to the Group IT Manager and work closely with the IT Security Manager in a small, hands-on team where you’ll have genuine ownership.

Living and working in PNG
While onsite, you’ll live and work within the company’s secure compound, with accommodation and meals provided. Port Moresby is a unique place to work. Security is taken seriously, movement outside the compound is restricted, and infrastructure and resources don’t always run the way they do in Australia.
You’ll be working with a diverse local and expat team, so cultural awareness, patience and respect are essential. This role suits someone who’s adaptable, resilient and genuinely up for the adventure of working somewhere very different to home.

What you’ll be doing

- Managing and maintaining server, network and cloud infrastructure
- Administering Microsoft 365, Entra ID and endpoint management




- Supporting and maintaining LAN, WAN, wireless and site connectivity
- Providing senior level support to users across office, yard and site locations
- Working with the IT Security Manager on patching, backups and security controls
- Managing vendors, licensing and IT assets
- Documenting systems and improving processes

What you’ll bring

- 7+ years in systems administration or infrastructure roles
- Strong Windows Server, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID experience
- Solid networking knowledge (Cisco or similar)
- Experience with virtualisation, backup and recovery
- A practical, self-sufficient approach suited to a remote environment
- Comfortable living onsite in a secure compound for 6 week stretches
- Cultural awareness and the ability to build strong relationships with local teams
- A sense of adventure and the resilience to thrive in a challenging environment
- Previous FIFO, remote or developing country experience highly regarded
- Australian citizenship or permanent residency, based in or willing to fly out of Brisbane
- Ability to obtain a PNG work permit (sponsored by the employer)

What’s on offer

- $140,000 package, inclusive of super
- FIFO flights from Brisbane, accommodation and meals provided while onsite
- Long term role with an established, well-regarded operator
- Real autonomy and variety in a hands-on senior role
