Join a major digital infrastructure modernisation program and help shape the future of enterprise monitoring.

Your new company

This large Brisbane-based organisation is undertaking a significant technology modernisation program focused on strengthening the resilience, visibility and supportability of its technology environment.

They are seeking an experienced Monitoring & Observability Specialist for an initial 12-month contract, with the possibility of extension. Based in Brisbane CBD, this is an opportunity to help shape the future direction of monitoring and observability across a large, complex enterprise setting.

Your new role

This senior specialist role combines strategy, technical design and practical delivery. You will help develop the enterprise monitoring and observability strategy and roadmap, then translate it into detailed, implementable solutions.

Working across infrastructure, cloud, cyber security, architecture and operational teams, you will help shift the organisation from reactive monitoring towards proactive service health, anomaly detection and earlier fault identification.

The role extends beyond application monitoring, covering cloud, SaaS/PaaS, servers, networks, routers, switches, firewalls, Wi-Fi and critical services. A key focus is improving fault isolation and troubleshooting while reducing operational workload.

Key responsibilities will include

Developing enterprise-wide monitoring and observability strategies and roadmaps

Assessing existing capabilities, investments, visibility gaps and improvement opportunities

Translating strategy into detailed technical designs and implementable solutions

Improving visibility across cloud, infrastructure, networks, security and critical services

Developing proactive monitoring, service health and anomaly detection capabilities

Improving fault isolation, alert quality and event correlation

Strengthening log aggregation, retention and accessibility for monitoring and troubleshooting





Integrating monitoring across infrastructure, security, cloud and operational environments

Working with busy technical teams to gather requirements and enable practical delivery

Developing implementation roadmaps, technical documentation and recommendations

What you'll need to succeed

You will bring broad enterprise monitoring and observability experience and be able to think strategically while remaining technically hands-on enough to turn that strategy into practical designs.

Ideally, you will have:

7 years' experience across enterprise monitoring, observability, logging or infrastructure operations

Experience developing monitoring and observability strategies or roadmaps

Strong technical design and implementation experience in complex enterprise environments

Monitoring experience across cloud, SaaS/PaaS, servers, networks, routers, switches, firewalls and Wi-Fi

Experience with proactive monitoring, service health, anomaly detection and fault identification

Strong understanding of logging for monitoring and troubleshooting, including aggregation and retention

Exposure to Splunk, Elastic, Microsoft Sentinel or comparable enterprise platforms

Experience integrating monitoring across infrastructure, cloud, networks and security

Strong stakeholder engagement and technical documentation skills

Importantly, this role is not centred on administering one particular monitoring product. The focus is broad enterprise monitoring and observability, setting direction and translating it into practical technical outcomes.

What you'll get in return

Initial 12-month contract with possible extension

Opportunity to influence enterprise monitoring and observability strategy

Exposure across strategy, architecture, governance and delivery

Work within a major digital infrastructure modernisation program
