Job on Base: You will be a member of a Communications Access Node (CAN), responsible for providing deployable IT services to the Army. Your day-to-day role will be varied, with each day bringing new challenges and opportunities. You and your team will ensure that your IT equipment is maintained and functional, ready for training or operational use. Job on Deployment: The NZ Army deploys on operations within NZ and overseas with its own encrypted communication networks. IT Specialists will be deployed with scalable IT solutions tailored to the size and specific requirements of the force they are supporting. You will establish and maintain computer and radio networks, ensuring forces can exchange information and maintain strategic communications links back to New Zealand. Career Progression and Training: Upon joining the NZ Army, you'll complete 16 weeks of Basic Training at Waiouru Military Camp, followed by 20 weeks of IT Specialist training at Linton Military Camp, Palmerston North. This training will familiarise you with radio and computer networks, physical IT equipment, and software/applications used by the NZ Army. Salary and Benefits: Careers in the Army are well-rewarded, diverse, and exciting. Your salary will rise as you gain experience and move up through the ranks. Starting Salary: $51,265 Benefits include free and subsidised health care, subsidised food, sponsored tertiary study programs, and opportunities to travel. Entry Requirements: You must be able to obtain a TSV security clearance. You must be a NZ Citizen. You must be at least 18 years of age at the completion of your Basic Training.
