Wellington City, New Zealand Science New Zealand Full time

NIWA is a dynamic research organisation whose purpose is to enhance the economic value and sustainable management of New Zealand's aquatic resources and environments, to provide understanding of climate and the atmosphere and increase resilience to weather and climate hazards to improve safety and wellbeing of New Zealanders. NIWA is New Zealand's largest and pre-eminent provider of climate, freshwater and marine science. NIWA's in-house IT team develops, maintains, operates, and supports an extensive and diverse mix of business and scientific systems; work that is both important and interesting.

**What we are looking for**:
We are seeking an IT Senior Systems Administrator with over three years of on premise and cloud experience with Microsoft technologies to join our IT Operations Team in Wellington. You will be joining a highly skilled team of Administrators and Engineers and IT professionals who deliver solutions enabling the future of environmental research for all New Zealanders.

**What you will bring**:

- Systems administration experience with the Microsoft Windows and Microsoft 365 technology stacks including Microsoft server, AD and AAD skills.
- An understanding of cybersecurity principles and practices, experience with the Power Platform, windows automation including PowerShell scripting and ansible, Exchange Online, Teams, knowledge of cloud platforms e.g., Azure, and an understanding of networking concepts is useful.
- Excellent problem analysis and resolution skills.
- Ability to fit into an established team of talented administrators and engineers, bringing a level of maturity gained from your experience but also the flexibility that will see you asking for assistance when you are working on unfamiliar systems or the ability to mentor and share your expertise with other team members.
- A team player with a good sense of humour and a "Can do" attitude and able to effectively communicate to a wide range of people.

If the above sounds like you; if you are an experienced, motivated, disciplined, and reliable IT Senior Systems Administrator requiring mínimal supervision with a strong customer service ethic and want to be part of a professional and progressive team, making an important contribution to NZ science, then this could be your next career move.

NIWA offers flexible working options (e.g., part-time, flexible start and finish times). We are happy to discuss potential flexible options for this position at the interview stage.

NIWA promotes the importance and value of an inclusive and diverse workforce, including the Rainbow Community, and pride ourselves on being a family-friendly and supportive workplace.
