What does the job look like?
As Network and Site Technology Lead, you will lead a high‑performing engineering team delivering secure, reliable and future‑ready network and site technology across Australia and New Zealand.
This is a people‑focused leadership role with accountability for network operations, delivery outcomes and vendor performance, providing direction, coaching and oversight rather than hands‑on configuration, while focusing on prioritisation, standards and stakeholder engagement. You will work closely with architects, portfolio and project managers, and business stakeholders to shape requirements, approve designs, manage financials, and guide initiatives from concept through to operational support.
This role is onsite based out of our HQ in Essendon Fields (VIC)
Other duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Lead, coach and mentor a team of network and site technology engineers, fostering high performance and a positive culture
- Manage workload across BAU operations, incidents and projects, including prioritisation and escalation
- Act as the primary contact for network and site initiatives such as new builds, expansions, upgrades and security programs
- Partner with operations, architects, PMO and vendors to deliver fit‑for‑purpose, strategically aligned solutions
- Own financial management for initiatives, including budgeting, cost estimates and vendor quotations
- Oversee the stability and performance of network and site technology across a large, distributed environment
Are you the one?
You combine a strong networking foundation with a collaborative leadership style, enabling you to lead people, influence stakeholders, engage vendors and senior leaders, and guide teams toward shared outcomes.
The ideal candidate can demonstrate:
- Strong technical credentials, with 5+ years’ hands‑on experience as a network engineer and multiple professional network or security certifications.
- Proven technical leadership experience, including managing multiple direct reports, influencing stakeholders at all levels.
- Demonstrated delivery capability, with experience scoping, quoting, and successfully delivering complex network and infrastructure projects.
- Deep networking and security expertise, spanning core routing and switching, SD‑WAN, MPLS, enterprise Wi‑Fi, Zero‑Trust architectures, cloud and on‑premise environments, and leading vendor technologies such as Cisco, Palo Alto, Aruba, Meraki, and Zscaler.
- Highly developed communication and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to challenge the status quo constructively, build trusted partnerships, work independently, and drive initiatives.
