Why You’ll Love Working Here
You’ll be joining one of Australia’s most respected organisations—known for engineering excellence, reliability, and a culture that values continuous improvement. You’ll work alongside high‑calibre engineers, gain exposure to both IP and optical technologies, and play a pivotal role in keeping critical national infrastructure running smoothly.

What You’ll Be Doing

  1. Escalation Handling

You’ll step in when NOC Support Engineers hit a wall, taking ownership of issues such as:

  • Network devices going offline
  • Diagnosing whether the fault is with the device, router, optics, or fibre
  • Escalating to engineering when required
  • Strong preference for candidates with fibre or optical troubleshooting experience
  1. ISP Network Troubleshooting

You’ll work across the full spectrum of ISP-related escalations, including:

  • Slow speeds, performance degradation, or intermittent connectivity
  • Running, reading, and interpreting traceroutes
  • Identifying root cause and isolating whether issues sit with:
    • the ISP
    • the customer
    • a single site
    • P3/P4 non-complex faults
  • Ensuring clear documentation and RCA input where required
  1. Customer Engagement (High EQ Required)

You won’t take inbound calls, but you will:

  • Call customers back for deeper troubleshooting
  • Ask probing, intelligent questions without causing friction
  • Deliver confident, calm explanations to both technical and non-technical users
  • Represent the brand with professionalism and empathy

This role requires excellent judgement, curiosity, and the ability to guide customers through technical scenarios without overwhelming them.
