A Role with Purpose and Plenty of Character

Step into a role where your technical skills make a real impact. As our
Senior Computer Services Officer
, you'll help keep the systems running that connect our people, communities, and country, all while working alongside a friendly, down-to-earth team that values initiative, humour, and heart.

Reporting to the
Computer Services Manager
, you'll play a key role in maintaining, supporting, and improving our ICT and OT systems across the region. This is not your typical IT job — it's a chance to apply your skills in an
environment that's relaxed, diverse, and refreshingly different.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Administering ICT and OT systems, software, computers, and devices
• Managing hardware deployments and infrastructure maintenance
• Planning and implementing system and equipment upgrades
• Providing Level 2 desktop support and resolving technical issues
• Monitoring performance and optimising system operations
• Preparing discussion papers and plans for new systems and applications
• Maintaining records and documentation
• Liaising with staff and suppliers to develop tailored technical solutions
• Delivering in-house training and user guides
• Supporting budgeting, policy development, and compliance initiatives

You'll also have the chance to be part of our exciting move to a modern Microsoft 365 environment, offering plenty of opportunity to build your expertise in this powerful platform and contribute to how it's shaped across the organisation.

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

We're looking for someone who's not just technically capable, but also curious, adaptable, and grounded. You're the type who enjoys solving problems, appreciates a good laugh, and can roll with the quirks of life in the Red Centre.

You'll bring tertiary qualifications and/or extensive experience in computer systems support, administration, or network management,
but your attitude and outlook matter just as much
.

You might be the right fit if you're:

• Adaptable and open-minded
  – ready to embrace the quirks and opportunities of life and work in the outback
• Collaborative and easygoing
  – someone who enjoys being part of a small, supportive, and diverse team
• Adventurous and self-aware
  – you've thought seriously about what it means to relocate to Alice Springs, and you're excited by the challenge
• Community-minded
  – you want your work to mean something, and you value connection over hierarchy

Technical skills that will be highly regarded:

• Administration of wide-area networks and Microsoft platforms (including Microsoft 365)
• Knowledge of network fundamentals and troubleshooting
• Experience with Windows Server environments, AWS, or Azure
• Relevant industry certifications (Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, or ITIL)

Where Work Meets Adventure

Relocating to
Alice Springs
is a big decision, and a rewarding one. CLC will support you every step of the way with
relocation assistance, subsidised housing, and airfare allowances
to make your move easier.

Life here is different in all the best ways. Alice Springs is a tight-knit, multicultural community surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes. It's perfect for people who've had their fill of the big-city grind and are ready for something real —
space, connection, and balance
.

Our most successful team members are those who see the move as an adventure — people who come with
curiosity, resilience, and a good sense of humour.

What You'll Gain (Beyond a Great Job)

In addition to a competitive salary of
$87,000–$100,000 p.a % super
, you'll enjoy:

• Salary packaging of up to
  $29,000 p.a.
• Annual airfare
  and
  district allowances
