The job

Elexon is a Brisbane-based innovation company specialising in the design, development and manufacture of electronic products for local and export markets. From our Brendale site the group builds mining instruments deployed on every continent except Antarctica, alongside high-tech electronics for original equipment manufacturers. The IT environment supporting that operation has to be reliable, secure and current.

We want someone who would rather spend an afternoon scripting a task than do it twice every day. You'll take the helm of our automation pipeline: decide what gets automated, build it and run it. You report to the Head of IT and work alongside our IT engineer.

What you'll automate first

- Starters and leavers, driven by our HR system across four AD forests and Microsoft 365 tenants: accounts, groups, mailboxes, devices and VPN
- Server and laptop patching, with a backup or snapshot first and rollback on failure
- Vulnerability fixes, so people only handle what can't be fixed automatically
- Central logging and alerting, with configuration kept in Git
- Proxmox VMs built from code, not by hand

How we work

- AI runs on-premises: local models, an AI-enabled service desk, and coding agents that open pull requests. You review, test and own what ships.
- Every change goes through Git, with review and tests.
- You'll also keep the lights on: servers, network, endpoints, backups and phones, shared with the Head of IT.

Our stack

Windows Server and AD, Microsoft 365, Entra ID,



Intune and Autopilot, Defender Premium for Endpoint, Proxmox, Debian, pfSense, UniFi, 3CX and Teams Phone, SQL Server, Gitea.

You'll have

- Several years administering Windows Server, AD, and Microsoft 365 with Entra ID and Intune
- PowerShell written to production standard (modules, error handling, source control); Python or Bash is a plus
- Experience with Linux (Debian preferred) and virtualisation, ideally Proxmox
- Solid networking: firewall rules, VLANs, routing, VPNs and methodical troubleshooting
- A track record of automation you built that removed real work

Nice to have

Microsoft Graph, infrastructure as code (OpenTofu, Terraform or Ansible), CI pipelines, ELK, vulnerability management, local LLMs or AI agents.

The practical bits

- Site-based at Brendale, the IT team has its own office with snacks,
- We’re looking for someone who has a good sense of humour. We work hard, support each other and believe that enjoying where you work makes all the difference!
- Server patching runs Thursday evenings until you automate it, and your hours flex around it
- Emergency on-call is shared with the Head of IT
- Australian citizenship is required, and appointment is subject to a national police check

How to apply

Send your CV and a short note covering:

- the setting you support now
- one thing you automated: what it replaced, how you built it, and what went wrong A link to code you can share is welcome.
