About VECTEC

VECTEC is a young, fun Hybrid IT and Network Security solutions provider, growing 100% year on year. We took the corporate textbook and ripped it up, living and breathing flexi working, output over presence, and ditched the suits. Our customers are family, with members such as Zurich, DP World, Arthur J Gallagher, Equifax and ASX.

We believe in an inclusive environment underpinned by respect and equality. Our CBD office is a place where our staff, customers, dogs and friends want to spend time, with people stopping by to work, say hi and collaborate. As our presales function grows alongside the business, this is an exciting time to join the team.
