**About Airways**:
Our people manage New Zealand's 30 million square kms of airspace, providing air traffic control, surveillance, communication, flight inspection, mapping, and airspace design services. We work with government, regulatory authorities, airlines, airports, and the general aviation community to ensure pilots, passengers and goods reach their destination - safely. At Airways, our values underpin all that we do. We value Safety, One Airways, Excellence and Success in all that we do.

**About the Team**:
The National Support & Maintenance business unit forms part of the wider Technology Group. The National Systems Specialists are a small tight-knit team responsible for ensuring that our aviation technology continues to keep NZ’s domestic and international flights safe and on-time. This includes communications, navigation, surveillance, and air traffic management systems, their supporting networks and infrastructure, as well as their respective monitoring, observability, and control systems.

This team exists to ensure all aspects of service reliability are considered and Airways’ technology services are supportable for their entire life, driven by our unbridled passion for our customers. We strive to make reliability the number one requirement for our services, and then deliver on this requirement for Airways.

**About the Role**:
As a National Systems Specialist, you will play a key role in ensuring the reliability and availability of our systems and services. This will see you work closely with different teams to ensure our systems are designed and operated in a way that meets our high availability and performance standards.

- Maintaining system information and documentation.
- Managing the configuration of technology services.
- Continuously improving our systems and services.
- Identifying and mitigating potential risks and impact to service.

Your tools of trade will be your brain, keyboard, and voice, but you may end up doing some hands-on installation and setup work from time to time.

**About You**:
To be successful, you will have:

- A relevant tertiary qualification, industry certifications, or equivalent experience.
- A good understanding of a wide range of technologies, and capable of understanding not only how the technology functions, but how it is used and where it fits into the business.
- Ability and comfort challenging ideas and speaking up in group discussions.
