Today, as we expand care beyond hospital walls and create more connected models of care, St Vincent’s is helping shape a better, fairer health and aged care system.  

 

We are looking for a special kind of person - a St Vincent’s kind of person. Someone who combines sharp thinking, good judgement and deep care for others.  

 

The Opportunity 

We are presently recruiting multiple Technical Field Engineer roles to bolster our existing, high performing NSW team, and in doing so, uplifting the overall capability of our business-critical National Service Management footprint. 

These vacancies have come about through a combination of internal career development opportunities and temporary secondments, supporting business critical projects as St Vincent’s progresses through an exciting period of growth and technology transformation. 

Consequently, we are currently offering a max-term contract until 26th of June 2027.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Provide support and incident response for nurse call systems, telephony handsets, and meeting room AV equipment. 

• Participate in the after-hours on-call roster (on call allowance and call out payments apply) 

 

About You 

As a dynamic and dedicated technology professional, you understand the critical role of IT operations within a multi-site healthcare environment such as St Vincent’s. 

You are customer centric, driven by a desire to quickly resolve technology issues whilst constantly identifying opportunities to minimise future disruptions and outages. Furthermore, you thrive in complex environments, quickly identifying the issue and translating complexity into clear advice, decisions and action.
