Systems Administrator

As a Systems Administrator, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management, monitoring, patching, security, and compliance of property-based server infrastructure and on-site technology platforms across a large, distributed environment.

You will manage virtualised workloads, server infrastructure, CCTV systems, endpoint security, backups, and related platforms, working autonomously while collaborating with Australian-based technology teams when escalation or physical intervention is required. The role is focused on maintaining high availability, security, standardisation, and operational reliability across the infrastructure estate.

You will be working with a leading property technology and services organisation that supports a diverse national portfolio spanning residential, student accommodation, seniors living, and build-to-rent communities.

The organisation operates a large-scale technology environment across more than 130 properties, supporting tens of thousands of beds and dwellings. Its infrastructure includes virtualised server environments, CCTV platforms, endpoint security, backup systems, and other critical property technology services.

• Comfortable working remotely and autonomously, with strong ownership and accountability.
• A clear written communicator who provides complete and actionable escalations and updates.
• Customer-focused, particularly when supporting service desk requests.
• Collaborative and low-ego, with respect for scope boundaries and cross-functional teams.

• Manage SentinelOne Complete across all in-scope property-based systems.
• Ensure endpoints remain onboarded, online, protected, and correctly configured.
• Investigate security alerts and suspicious activity, escalating incidents in accordance with established procedures.
• Identify and resolve gaps in endpoint protection and reporting.

• Provide service desk coverage when required, supporting resident-facing Wi-Fi, IPTV, and in-scope technology requests.
• Acknowledge, triage, resolve, and appropriately escalate tickets.
• Maintain clear, professional, and accurate communication with residents and operational stakeholders.
• Ensure tickets contain sufficient documentation to support efficient resolution and escalation.

• Proactively monitor infrastructure for performance degradation, capacity constraints, and security vulnerabilities.
• Maintain accurate documentation covering system standards, patch schedules, known issues, and remediation procedures.
