Network Engineer – Support & Managed Services in Melbourne

This is a hands-on, client-facing MSP role supporting multiple customer environments in network operations and support. No two days look the same. One day you may be troubleshooting a routing or connectivity issue, the next working through a firewall change, wireless problem or customer request. You'll be working in a dynamic environment where priorities can change quickly, so you'll need to be comfortable moving between customers and technologies, managing competing priorities and taking ownership of your work. The role is Melbourne-based and includes travel to customer sites as required.

• Troubleshoot customer issues methodically and escalate appropriately when senior engineering involvement is required.

• Perform network changes, MACDs and upgrades within established change-management processes.
• Maintain clear ticket updates, technical documentation and customer communication.
• Contribute to SOPs, knowledge articles and root cause analysis.
• Work directly with customers as part of day-to-day incident and service delivery.
