ICT Systems Administrator

We are looking for a skilled Systems Administrator to join our IT team. The successful candidate will have a passion for technology, a great attitude, and a high level of technical expertise. They will also offer their technical expertise to projects to ensure that the College’s network systems meet business requirements and operate in a secure, reliable, and efficient manner.

With a national and international reputation for excellence, Scots College is a world-class independent school with a strong Presbyterian Heritage. It is a fully co-education, IB World School in the eastern suburbs of Wellington, New Zealand, and comprises three schools in one: Junior (Years 1-6), Middle (Years 7-10), and Senior (Years 11-13). We provide our students with an excellent and holistic education within a vibrant learning environment with the aim of allowing them to contribute as global citizens who think creatively, reason critically, communicate effectively, and develop the necessary skills to learn. For life.

The needs of the College are growing rapidly, and as a result, we are seeking a switched-on individual to join our ICT team. The Systems Administrator will be a key player in ensuring an effective, efficient, and reliable ICT infrastructure is maintained, and all users of ICT in the College are adequately supported. While we do have the ability to call on external expertise, the new incumbent will help to drive all installations, upgrades, maintenance requirements, and networks. This is a constantly evolving role and they will also be expected to provide input into new initiatives – from conception to reality. They will need to be prepared to roll up their sleeves and get amongst the most basic of ICT tasks in order to best support College users.
