About the Opportunity

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is looking for a full-time Systems Administrator based in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA.

This hands-on role is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the City’s IT systems, supporting network infrastructure and digital assets to ensure optimal performance, security, and continuity.

• Providing Level 2 and 3 support for corporate networks, devices, and infrastructure
• Managing Council’s network infrastructure and ensuring server performance
• Monitoring and maintaining LAN/WAN environments and virtual servers

About You

While formal IT qualifications are valued, they’re not essential — what truly sets you apart is deep, hands-on experience at a senior level. You’ve spent years honing your craft in systems administration and bring a practical, solutions-focused understanding of enterprise IT environments.

You will ideally bring:

• Several years of progressive experience in systems administration or IT infrastructure support
• End-to-end knowledge of the Microsoft 365 suite including Azure AD, Teams, Exchange, and SharePoint
• A strong foundation in networking technologies such as VPNs, DNS, DHCP, and wireless networks
• Experience with Active Directory and endpoint support (e.g., Windows 11, Microsoft Endpoint Manager)
• Familiarity with system administration tools and service desk platforms (e.g. Kaseya, ServiceNow, ManageEngine)

As our ideal candidate, you’ve built your knowledge from the ground up. You’ve “been in the game” for some time, know how to get under the hood of complex systems, and are excited about stepping into a role with high future potential. You’re resourceful, technically savvy, and ready to take the lead over time.

This is a career-building opportunity for someone ready to take ownership of systems administration in a supportive environment that offers training, development, and clear pathways for growth.
