An opportunity exists for an experienced Systems Administrator Engineer to join a major communications and infrastructure environment as a Level 3 Radio Systems & Infrastructure Engineer. This is an SME-level engineering position supporting a key Tier 1 Mining customer account, providing high-level technical support across critical radio systems, servers, network infrastructure and associated services.
