We're building a reputation as the place to be in Defence. With strong local management, sound investment and a fresh approach, we're on an exciting trajectory and building unique capability. Leveraging the kind of leading-edge US capabilities and technology most can only imagine, our close-knit 800 strong team is busy delivering World-leading solutions to safeguard Australia's future.
As Northrop Grumman Australia prepares for the arrival of the Triton UAS, we are setting up and proactively recruiting to ensure a seamless and coordinated entry into service. One of the key roles identified in this strategy is the role of Systems Administrator based out of RAAF Base Edinburgh . Some travel to the Forward Operating Base at RAAF Base Tindal, Northern Territory may be required on occasion.
Your Role As a Systems Administrator, you are a vital member of the maintenance support team for the MQ-4C Maintenance Organisation. Reporting to the Systems Administrator Manager, you ensure compliance with technical regulations for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events, meeting operational requirements efficiently. Your tasks include managing user accounts, performing routine system maintenance, monitoring storage availability, and ensuring the health of databases along with providing maintenance, mission readiness, and technical support for the Forward Operating Base and Main Operating Base Mission Control Systems.
You also ensure the system's pre-flight safety before handing it over to aircrew for missions. Additionally, your role involves data management, security, and monitoring of communication networks. You will work closely with stakeholders to develop deep technical knowledge of Defence environments, providing the best possible customer experience.
About You You are an accomplished Systems Administrator with extensive experience managing complex projects.
