Edinburgh, Australia Northrop Grumman Full time

We’re building a reputation as the place to be in Defence. With strong local management, sound investment and a fresh approach, we’re on an exciting trajectory and building unique capability.  Leveraging the kind of leading-edge US capabilities and technology most can only imagine, our close-knit 800 strong team is busy delivering World-leading solutions to safeguard Australia’s future. And, together, we’re growing a business where everyone contributes, and everyone matters.

Northrop Grumman's MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) provides real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) over vast ocean and coastal regions. The aircraft can fly for more than 24 hours at a time, at an altitude above 55,000 feet and an operational range of 8,200 nautical miles.

As Northrop Grumman Australia prepares for the arrival of the Triton UAS, we are setting up and proactively recruiting to ensure a seamless and coordinated entry into service. One of the key roles identified in this strategy is the role of Systems Administrator based out of RAAF Base Edinburgh. Some travel to the Forward Operating Base at RAAF Base Tindal, Northern Territory may be required on occasion.

Your Role
As a Systems Administrator, you are a vital member of the maintenance support team for the MQ-4C Maintenance Organisation. Reporting to the Systems Administrator Manager, you ensure compliance with technical regulations for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events, meeting operational requirements efficiently. Your tasks include managing user accounts, performing routine system maintenance, monitoring storage availability, and ensuring the health of databases along with providing maintenance, mission readiness, and technical support for the Forward Operating Base and Main Operating Base Mission Control Systems, as well as the Main Operating Base Mission System Trainer.

You also ensure the system’s pre-flight safety before handing it over to aircrew for missions. Additionally, your role involves data management, security, and monitoring of communication networks. You will work closely with stakeholders to develop deep technical knowledge of Defence environments, providing the best possible customer experience.

About You
You are an accomplished Systems Administrator with extensive experience managing complex projects. You hold a relevant qualification and have a proven track record with Microsoft Windows technologies, including servers, desktops, and applications. While experience with VMWare and Cisco Networks is highly advantageous, having worked in highly classified environments is a desirable attribute.

Your ability to manage competing priorities from various enterprise stakeholders is essential in meeting the MQ-4C flying plan and optimising the efficiency of the Mission Control Systems and Mission System Trainer. You excel in building strong relationships and engaging effectively with others, allowing you to plan and prioritise maintenance events seamlessly within the MQ-4C fleet maintenance plan.

You thrive under pressure, managing time and resources efficiently to meet tight deadlines. Your communication skills are exceptional, enabling you to convey information clearly and effectively at all levels of the organisation, both internally and externally. Flexible and adaptable, you are prepared to support maintenance operations around the clock, ensuring extended duration flight activities run smoothly for our customers.

This position required a Top-Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) clearance. You must either currently hold or be eligible to hold this level clearance.

What’s in it for you:
Whatever your role, life stage or background, you can shape your career here in your way with highly challenging work, great colleagues and career development, plus a range of flexible benefits and working patterns.

  • Professional Development – further education, leadership development, professional industry memberships and unlimited access to a range of online training
  • Options for flexible & hybrid work including 9 day fortnight
  • Purchased annual leave
  • Salary packaging including novated car leases
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Volunteer Leave
  • Health & Wellbeing program
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Relocation Assistance available
