About the role

Contract details

  • Initial term: 2-3 months 
  • Location: fully remote 
  • Start: May 
  • Reporting into: IT Manager 
  • Team: small - you’ll need to be comfortable operating independently 
Why you would like it
  • Fully remote from anywhere in NZ - no travel required 
  • Get in at the start: discovery → documentation → remediation 
  • A contained, high-impact piece of work on firewall and core network stability 
Deliverables / purpose

You’ll come in early to stabilise and uplift the network environment through a focused remediation engagement. That includes:
  • Running discovery across the firewall and core network setup 
  • Documenting the current state clearly (so it’s usable after you’ve gone) 
  • Identifying risks, gaps, and required changes 
  • Implementing agreed remediation and validating outcomes   
The skills and experience we need you to bring
  • Strong hands-on FortiGate firewall experience (must-have) 
  • Strong Aruba switching experience (must-have) 
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and make progress without heavy oversight 
  • Solid discovery and documentation skills (you leave things better than you found them) 
  • Clear communication - able to explain issues, options, and decisions simply 
Contractor benefits
  • Wellbeing Discovery Sessions 
  • Welcome Packs 
  • Hnry discount 
  • Exclusive invites to events and networking 
  • Optional pay-as-you-go PI/PL insurance 
If you can start within the next few weeks and this sounds like your kind of contract, send through your CV and a quick note on your relevant experience. 

Note: We review all CV's manually and you will be contacted if your skills and experience meet the requirements of any of our clients. You must have valid working rights for NZ.
