Selection Documentation
**OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY OFFICER**
Level 6
$116,245 - $133,968 plus superannuation
ASIS is Australia’s overseas secret intelligence collection agency. Its mission is to protect and
promote Australia’s vital interests through the provision of intelligence services as directed by
the Government. Its work can involve collecting intelligence relating to national security,
international relations and economic issues. It also contributes to Australia’s coordinated
national efforts against terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and
transnational issues such as people smuggling.
ASIS employs people in a wide range of roles, which require dynamic team players who enjoy
working with stakeholders, team members and individually on projects. ASIS is looking for
operation technology officers who will be able to meet tight deadlines and work to support ASIS
priorities.
ASIS values workplace diversity and is committed to providing a supportive, inclusive and
Islander people, women, people with disabilities, people that identify as LGBTIQ+ and people
from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Role
An ASIS Operational Technology Officer (OTO) is responsible for the development, maintenance,
deployment and operation of technical systems and capabilities to support Australia’s foreign
intelligence missions. An OTO takes a 'hands-on', professional approach to technical work that is
underpinned by relevant academic or work experience. The service’s current OTOs are drawn
from a diverse range of people with different cultural, linguistic, technical and career
backgrounds. These range from electricians and locksmiths to software developers and network
engineers (RF, network, systems, etc).
The role of an OTO is not your regular public service technical role. It can be demanding, but
highly rewarding and ASIS offers a range of internal and external support services that contribute
to enabling a work life balance that is not often found in technology roles elsewhere.
As an OTO you will be based in Canberra but there will be opportunities to travel, undertake
overseas postings and build close relationships with a diverse range of people from Australia and
across the globe. You will also consolidate, grow and exercise your technical skillsets in devising
often unique solutions to difficult problems. OTOs form a key element of ASIS’s intelligence
capabilities and are highly valued for their unique problem solving, innovation and technical
capabilities.
