I am looking to speak with Solution Architects to join a Brisbane based Utilities Provider for an initial 12 month contract. The ICT Delivery team provides innovative, secure, and high-quality technology solutions that deliver excellence in every project. This is a hands on, delivery focused architecture role. You'll be deep in the detail, working across identity, network segmentation, security hardening, and vendor-led design. 
 
You will play a key role across two major initiatives. 
 
Identity & Access Management (IAM) Strategy & Implementation
 
An external provider is delivering an IAM roadmap and implementation.

• Validate and shape the IAM strategy across a hybrid estate
• Provide architectural oversight across Access Management, PAM and IGA
• Ensure solutions align with Microsoft Entra, Active Directory, SAP and legacy systems
• Bridge gaps between cyber, operations, vendors and architecture governance
• Lead high-level design and ensure detailed designs meet internal standards

The organisation operates across a hybrid cloud and legacy data centre environment, making this a technically interesting challenge.
 
Data Centre Separation & Network Segmentation
 
This program focuses on separating applications and network zones within an existing data centre environment to improve security and resilience.

• Design and guide network segmentation approaches
• Advise on identity isolation and access control strategies
• Support firewall and network rule translation between vendors and ops teams
• Assess application criticality and define RTO/RPO and resilience models
• Ensure prevention of lateral movement and improved security posture

About You:

• Proven experience in IAM architecture within hybrid environments
• Strong understanding of Microsoft Entra / Active Directory
• Exposure to PAM and IGA concepts (e.g. SailPoint-type platforms)
• Experience working across SAP-integrated landscapes
• Solid network engineering or security architecture capability
• Experience working alongside external vendors delivering detailed design

This is an individual contributor role no team management but significant stakeholder engagement across cyber, ops and architecture.
