Senior Systems Engineer

About ORS

ORS is one of Australia's leading allied health and workplace rehabilitation providers, supporting thousands of clients nationally through a network of more than 20 locations and a workforce of over 750 employees.

Technology is critical to everything we do. From our clinical systems and national network to collaboration platforms and cyber security controls, our infrastructure enables staff across the country to deliver services that make a genuine difference in people's lives.

The Opportunity

Based at our Gosford office, the Senior Systems Engineer is the technical anchor of our IT function.

The next, you could be coaching a Service Desk Analyst through a challenging escalation, improving operational processes or helping shape the future direction of our technology environment.
