Detail information about job Systems Administrator or Engineer - Linux Specialist . Terms and conditions vacancy
- Wellington
- Permanent, full-time
NIWA is New Zealand's largest and pre-eminent provider of climate, freshwater and marine science.
We have an opportunity for a Linux administrator to join our IT Operations team in Wellington. You will be a member of a multi-skilled team that owns the delivery of the IT services to both internal and external customers. The IT Operations team develops, delivers and supports technology solutions that are as unique as the original requirements.
You will be involved with the support of all NIWA IT infrastructure within New Zealand, including the systems situated upon our two science vessels. This role will be expected to specialise on the Linux based systems within NIWA. We have a wide variety of systems including; CentOS, SLES, Red Hat and Ubuntu. A good understanding of reverse proxies, automation systems and open source database technologies are all an advantage.
In addition to the Linux systems, you will be working with a wide range of other technologies including, but not limited to; Microsoft Server, Commvault, VMWare, Juniper network products, Fortigate firewalls, IBM SANs and HP Servers.
Just as important as your technology skills is your ability to fit into an established team of talented engineers. You need to be able to bring a level of maturity gained from several years' experience but also the flexibility that will see you asking for assistance when you are working on unfamiliar systems.
If you have skills in Linux as well as one or more of the above technologies, are a self-starter who is able to work with minimal supervision, have a strong customer service ethic and enjoy the dynamics of contributing within a team dedicated to enhancing IT systems across an organisation, then we want to hear from you. We are offering competitive remuneration and benefits, free parking and an attractive waterfront location at Greta Point, Wellington.
