Location: Hervey Bay – Onsite preferred, flexible options considered (Onsite required for cutovers/commissioning)

Engagement: 2-Year Contract

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Microsoft Hybrid Identity Engineer to deliver a major infrastructure modernisation programme for a local council.

This is a contract role with high visibility and technical breadth, focused on replacing legacy on-premises systems with secure, cloud-ready solutions.

You will lead hybrid identity, name services and server platform renewals, migrations to Azure, and the implementation of disaster recovery, PKI, observability, DNS/DHCP and HCI server modernisation — all to public sector standards.

This engagement is ideal for a hands-on engineer who enjoys delivering targeted, high-impact outcomes that directly improve community services.

Why Consider This Role?

Deliver measurable public value through council infrastructure modernisation.

Work across a broad technical scope: identity, PKI, DNS/DHCP, DR, HCI and observability.

Lead short-term, high-impact engagements with autonomy and clear milestones.

Contribute to long-term council digital programmes with potential future opportunities.

Scope of Work

  • Lead design and migration of Hybrid Active Directory & Azure Entra ID (tenant/domain consolidation, forest redesign).
  • Plan and execute staged migration cutovers with rollback and runbooks.
  • Modernise service accounts & privileged credentials (managed identities, lifecycle automation).
  • Design and deploy PKI (CA hierarchy, templates, automation, revocation).
  • Architect and implement Azure Disaster Recovery with failover testing.
  • Lead HCI server migrations and onboard to Azure ARC for management and monitoring.
  • Design and operate Azure DNS/DHCP at scale (zone architecture, split DNS, IPAM).
  • Build unified observability across on-prem and cloud (Azure Monitor + open source stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry).
  • Deliver procurement-ready specifications, compliance documentation, and acceptance test plans.
  • Provide clear handover: runbooks, dashboards, scripts and operational training.

Deliverables

  • Target state architecture & migration roadmap
  • Procurement-ready technical specifications
  • Migration runbooks, rollback plans & acceptance criteria
  • PKI design & automation
  • Azure DR replication config & failover test reports
  • Azure DNS/DHCP automation & IPAM integration
  • Observability dashboards, alerting rules & runbooks
  • Handover documentation, training materials & support plan

Required Experience

  • Proven Hybrid AD & Azure Entra migrations in production environments
  • AD Connect, federation/modern auth strategies, troubleshooting syncs
  • Credential modernisation (managed identities, privileged access hardening)
  • Practical PKI deployment & automation experience
  • Azure DR architecture & failover testing
  • HCI migration experience (VMware, Nutanix, HPE SimpliVity, vSAN) + Azure ARC
  • Strong Azure DNS/DHCP & IPAM design skills
  • Observability expertise with Azure Monitor & open source stacks
  • Scripting & automation: PowerShell, Azure CLI, ARM/Bicep, Terraform
  • Excellent documentation & public sector stakeholder engagement

Desirable

  • Microsoft certifications (Azure Administrator, Solutions Architect, Identity)
  • PAM, IGA, SCIM, OAuth2/OIDC experience
  • Previous contracting within local/state government

Rate

  • Daily rate = $ per day inc Super or ex GST
  • 2-year contract
