The Role

As a Communications Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering end-to-end engineering activities across the project lifecycle, from design and implementation through to testing and commissioning.

This is a project-focused role where you will translate solution designs into deployable technical solutions while contributing to the ongoing development and optimisation of enterprise communications networks.

Key responsibilities include:

• Deliver communications engineering work packages throughout the project lifecycle, including design, build, testing and commissioning.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including Technical Design Documents (TDDs), Low-Level Designs (LLDs), implementation plans and commissioning documentation.
• Support the integration of communications systems across IT and OT environments, ensuring secure, resilient and reliable operation.
• Ensure all engineering designs align with approved standards, architectures, engineering frameworks and industry best practices.
• Perform system testing, validation, troubleshooting and commissioning activities.
• Provide technical oversight and support to vendors, contractors and delivery partners.
• Identify, assess and escalate technical risks where appropriate.
• Support operational readiness through documentation, knowledge transfer and transition to support teams.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to Communications Technicians.
• Participate in change management processes and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• A degree in Communications Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Approximately 2–5 years' experience in communications engineering, ideally within enterprise, industrial or operational technology environments.
• Experience delivering communications infrastructure projects from design through to implementation and commissioning.
• A strong understanding of engineering standards, cybersecurity principles and systems integration.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication and technical documentation skills.
• The ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams.
• A current Australian Driver's Licence.

Desirable Technical Experience

Experience across several of the following technologies would be highly regarded:

• IT/OT networking, including Layer 2/Layer 3 switching, routing and MPLS.
• Optical fibre transmission technologies, including CWDM and DWDM.
• Microwave radio and private mobile radio (PMR) networks.
• VoIP telephony, collaboration platforms and voice recording systems.
• Edge communications devices, serial data interfaces and VF circuits.
• Communications shelters, huts and associated infrastructure.
• Radio mast and tower infrastructure.
• DC power systems, including battery backup and solar-powered communications systems.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a team delivering critical communications infrastructure projects, working with modern technologies across both IT and operational technology environments while contributing to the reliability, resilience and future capability of enterprise communications networks.
