A fantastic opportunity has presented itself for a Technical Specialist – Disaster Recovery and BCP reporting to the Executive Manager, Network Operations Support. 

A bit about your role 

As part of the Production Engineering team within Network Engineering, you will play a critical role in ensuring the resilience, recoverability and operational readiness of nbn's production network. You will be responsible for supporting the governance, planning, coordination, testing and continual improvement of Disaster Recovery (DR), Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Temporary Network Infrastructure (TNI) capabilities. 
 
In this role, you will lead and coordinate disaster recovery and business continuity testing activities across the production network environment. This includes planning and facilitating recovery exercises, validating recovery procedures, assessing failover and contingency capabilities, documenting outcomes, identifying risks, tracking remediation activities and driving continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen network resilience and operational readiness. 
 
You will work closely with Operations Support, NMC, MIM, Technology & Solutions, Network Technology Implementation, SEO Engineering and external vendors to ensure resilience and recovery requirements are embedded within network designs, operational processes and lifecycle activities. You will also provide specialist advice and guidance on resilience, recoverability and operational readiness considerations across network projects, technology refreshes and infrastructure changes. 
 
Additionally, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of governance artefacts, testing frameworks, operational standards and reporting mechanisms that support compliance with business continuity and disaster recovery objectives. Building strong stakeholder relationships and ensuring lessons learned are translated into future planning and operational practices will be key to your success. The role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the continual enhancement of network resilience and recoverability across nbn's production network environment.
