Personal update and JOB:::: Network Administrator
Hi all,
just returned from my trip to Tassie where I spent way too much money on excellent food and Mainland wines (didn't take to the prissy and overpriced Pino Noirs etc they make down there). Also walked up and down a mountain for 3 hrs to get to the famous wineglass bay and have a swim - if you've never heard of it, google it!
Anyway, I'm back and rearing to go!
Hope you're all well, happy and gainfully employed.
if not and you're suitably geeeky, the Job below might be for you (Sunny QLD).
Stay well!
Werner
I will be leaving the position of Network Administrator for the UQ Student Union to pursue full time study. Therefore the position will be vacant and we are currently advertising for a replacement.
We have 2 OS X servers, 2 FreeBSD servers and 3 windows servers (being consolidated), there are also about 80 Mac Desktops and 15 Windows Desktops. Support would be mainly at St Lucia with the occasional trip to Herston and Ipswich campuses.
I've actually enjoyed the role, it's been quite exciting and has scope to be made into ... whatever you want to make it into. For example, the main focus is the desktops and servers, however I've had time to do alot of web application development for the Union and recently started on creating a dashboard widget for keeping tally of student enquiries at the front counter.
It is being advertised as full-time but I believe this is negotiable.
So, if you're:
• good with people
• have a broad range of IT skills
• are good with prioritizing
• are self-motivated enough to work independently, and
• you're looking for a fun challenge
I'd recommend you have a look at this role :-)
If you're interested please send me an email (kimkaim@uq.edu.au) and I'll send you the Advertisement. Also, if you have any questions about the role feel free to email me.
