  • Collaborate with internal teams and customers to deliver seamless operations and support installations.
  • Ensure all visitors and contractors adhere to NEXTDC facility rules.
  • Undertaking regular manual handling duties as required

This role is not focused on IT but instead centres on hands-on facility operations, critical plant uptime. The successful candidate will support a range of mechanical, electrical, and facility systems within a mission-critical environment.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
