Go beyond. Leave a legacy.

Arafura is developing the Nolans rare earth project, Australia's first integrated processing facility in the Northern Territory, a multi-billion-dollar greenfield development that will produce rare earths. At Arafura, our vision is to redefine responsible rare earths processing to enable the global energy transition and future facing technologies.

We are moving into delivery and construction, and we are looking for a Senior Systems Administrator, Azure and Microsoft 365, reporting to the Head of IT and OT, to build the foundations of our IT environment as the project builds.

For this role, the focus is on getting the foundations right. As we move through construction and commissioning and into operations, we need a Microsoft 365 and Azure environment that is secure, well-structured and easy to support. You will lead architectural and automation initiatives across the entire Azure tenant and document the environment so it can grow with us.

It suits a hands-on senior administrator who enjoys bringing order and maturity of systems and processes to an established environment, wants to build something that lasts, and likes working in a small, capable team.

What you'll deliver

- A rebuilt SharePoint, with a site structure, permissions model and governance that reflect how we work through construction and into operations
- A clean, well governed identity environment in Entra ID and Microsoft 365,



with users, groups, licences and guest accounts tidied up and every account clearly owned
- Role based access control realigned across Microsoft 365 and Azure, with standard profile templates so people are set up consistently from day one
- Documentation of the environment that supports security, audit and compliance, along with controls such as multi-factor authentication, conditional access and Intune device compliance
- SSO and other integrations into third party systems
- Day to day IT support, including service tickets, joiners and leavers, and device offboarding

What you'll bring

- 5+ years administering Microsoft 365 and Azure, including Entra ID, with time as a senior or lead administrator
- Experience leading a SharePoint rebuild or migration, including information architecture and permissions design
- A track record of cleaning up and restructuring identity and access in an established workplace
- Hands on experience with Intune, conditional access, Microsoft Defender and PowerShell
- Microsoft certifications such as AZ-104, MS-102 or SC-300 are an advantage, as is experience in mining, construction or supporting remote sites
- The ability to explain technical changes in plain language and bring people with you, backed by clear documentation habits

If this role sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
