Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Datacom Full time

Our purpose

Here at Datacom, we connect people and technology in order to solve challenges, create opportunities and discover new possibilities for the communities we live in.

The Nitty Gritty

Datacom is Australasia's largest homegrown technology services business of over 6500 people. From humble beginnings as a small family business, we have enjoyed healthy, organic, and sustainable growth to become a large multinational, that proudly holds on to our 'small family business feel.

We have extensive expertise in operating data centers, providing IT services, software engineering, and application management, as well as payroll and customer service design and operations. With this comes a long list of significant clients. Datacom is committed to hiring, developing, and promoting the best talent from a diverse range of backgrounds. We are local at heart, yet world-class in capability.

At the center of our vision and values are people: our people. We are guided by what is best for our staff, our customers, and our communities.

Growing to dominate the New Zealand government and corporate IT market, we expanded into the Philippines, Malaysia, and Australia in the mid-90s and have been growing in those regions ever since.

Do you have what it takes to help us grow? This is your chance to be part of something new, getting on from the 'ground floor' and benefiting from all the up-side of a 'start-up' initiative with the security of a large multinational (and yet none of the down-side).
