About the chance
The Consortio Group is partnering with a leading construction and marine engineering group based in Port Moresby, Papua New 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).

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.

This role suits someone who's adaptable, resilient and genuinely up for the adventure of working somewhere very different to home.

A practical, self-sufficient approach suited to a remote environment
Comfortable living onsite in a secure compound for 6 week stretches

A sense of adventure and the resilience to thrive in a challenging environment
Previous FIFO, remote or developing country experience highly regarded
