Junior Infrastructure Engineer - ASD

Canberra or Adelaide Onsite | PV Clearance Required | AU Citizenship | 12m + 12m + 12m Contract | $115 – $130 p/h | Closing: 23 June 2026

Not all infrastructure engineering roles are created equal. This one puts you inside the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), one of the country's most critical national security agencies, where the networks you help build and sustain support work that genuinely matters. You will work alongside senior engineers across LAN and WAN environments, get hands on exposure to mission critical infrastructure, and grow your capability in monitoring, troubleshooting and automation under limited supervision. If you hold a current PV clearance, have a foundational infrastructure background and want to develop your technical career inside a high performing federal government team, this role is built for you.

This role is being sourced by Orro through Remote (remote.com.au), an Australian-owned, Canberra-based specialist consulting and workforce solutions firm with over 25 years of experience placing professionals across the National Intelligence Community, Defence, and national security.

Orro is a leading Australian managed services provider delivering secure, end-to-end digital solutions across cloud, cyber security, collaboration, and network infrastructure to some of Australia's most critical organisations.

We know that real impact comes from connecting people and that genuine relationships, built on trust and understanding, are what set us apart.

You will join a technical team inside ASD responsible for the sustainment and growth of network infrastructure across the agency. Working under limited supervision, you will support the installation, configuration and ongoing operation of LAN and WAN environments, contribute to monitoring and troubleshooting activities, and help maintain reliable network operations. This is a strong development role for someone early in their career who wants meaningful hands on exposure to federal government infrastructure at scale.

• Install and configure systems and network infrastructure, including hardware and software components
• Contribute to the development of installation procedures and documentation standards

Monitoring, Troubleshooting and Operations

• Practical experience across LAN and WAN environments, including installation, configuration and troubleshooting
• Experience monitoring infrastructure load, performance and security events, and contributing to incident resolution
• Working knowledge of basic scripting and standard tools to automate routine system administration tasks

Even if you don't tick every box, don't let that hold you back. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
