Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia THE TECH GROUP Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

On-Site IT Field Technician (Independent Contractor)

Location:
Sunshine Coast, QLD (30km radius)

Type:
Independent Contractor (A$70/hr)

About The Tech Group

The Tech Group Strategies Pty Ltd (TTG) is a
security-first Technology Solutions Partner (TSP) and Managed Services Provider (MSP)
based on the Sunshine Coast. We help small-to-medium businesses thrive by making technology feel
human, secure, and quietly powerful
.

Our core model is built around
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
, layered with a best-in-class security and backup stack (Intune, Defender for Business, Conditional Access, Acronis Cyber Protect, MailGuard365, EasyDMARC, Blackpoint MDR, SentinelOne). We align every client with the
ACSC Essential Eight
maturity model, helping them reduce risk and scale with confidence.

We believe in
simplicity over sprawl
, human service, and continuous improvement. We partner with clients for the long term, focusing on outcomes rather than one-off fixes.

The Role

We are looking for reliable, professional, and proactive
On-Site Field Technicians
to join our delivery team as independent contractors.

Your primary focus will be
on-site support
for our clients across the Sunshine Coast — setting up and troubleshooting WiFi and workstations, configuring Microsoft 365 accounts, securing devices, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.

This is a
hands-on role
that requires excellent communication, strong troubleshooting skills, and the ability to represent TTG with professionalism and care at client premises.

While the focus is on-site, there is a clear pathway to
grow into remote MSP delivery
: managing client environments through our RMM/PSA (SuperOps), applying Intune policies, running backup checks, and helping uplift security baselines across our client base.

If you enjoy solving problems, working directly with people, and want to build a career in a
modern MSP environment
, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Attend client sites across the Sunshine Coast (travel within ~30km radius).
  • Provide on-site support for MacOS, Windows 10/11 devices, Microsoft 365 apps, and common business IT systems.
  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot PCs, laptops, printers, and networking equipment.
  • Assist with Microsoft 365 onboarding (accounts, MFA, mailbox, Teams/SharePoint access).
  • Enroll devices into Intune; check compliance (BitLocker, Defender, Secure Boot, updates).
  • Follow TTG Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for backup checks, updates, and endpoint security.
  • Escalate issues appropriately, document all work performed, and ensure clear communication with clients.
  • Represent TTG professionally, protecting our reputation and fostering trust with every client interaction.
  • Grow into remote MSP responsibilities: using SuperOps to manage tickets, time entries, and schedules; helping apply Intune/Defender policies at scale; supporting quarterly client reviews.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • Strong knowledge of MacOS, Windows 10/11 and Microsoft 365 apps.
  • Basic understanding of Entra ID (Azure AD), Intune device enrollment, and Microsoft Defender.
  • Good working knowledge of networking basics (routers, switches, Wi-Fi, cabling).
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills.
  • Reliable transport and ability to attend client sites.
  • Right to work in Australia, ABN, and willingness to sign contractor agreement + NDA.

Nice-to-haves (or willingness to learn):

  • Conditional Access policies, Autopatch, and advanced Intune compliance.
  • Backup and restore checks (Acronis or similar).
  • BitLocker and encryption reporting.
  • Basic PowerShell scripting.
  • Previous MSP or IT services experience.

Why Join TTG?

  • Pathway to MSP work:
    Start on-site, grow into flexible modern MSP operations with Microsoft 365 security-first stack.
  • Professional environment:
    Work with clear SOPs, documentation, and quality assurance processes — no firefighting chaos.
  • Local Sunshine Coast focus:
    Build trusted relationships with businesses in your community.
  • Fair contractor pay:
    A$70/hr, paid fortnightly via SuperOps-approved time entries.
  • Supportive culture:
    We value clarity, professionalism, and kindness — both with clients and each other.
  • Future growth:
    As TTG scales, opportunities to step into more advanced MSP delivery, project work, and security roles.

Contract Terms

  • Engagement:
    Independent Contractor (not employee).
  • Rate:
    A$70/hr.
  • Hours:
    Flexible, with typical utilisation targets of 18–24 billable hours per week.
  • Scope:
    On-site work first, with the opportunity to expand into remote MSP support.
  • Compliance:
    Must complete onboarding (ABN, NDA, Intune/Defender device compliance, insurance if applicable, ID check, safety checklist).

How to Apply

Click
Apply
on LinkedIn and include:

  • Your CV or LinkedIn profile.
  • A short note on your top 3 IT skills.
  • Your availability (weekly hours, start date).

We'll move quickly: shortlisting, phone screens, and a
paid micro-task trial
(enroll device into Intune, confirm BitLocker/Defender, and draft a client-style note).

This is your chance to
start on-site and grow into a modern MSP career
with one of the Sunshine Coast's most forward-thinking IT providers.
