About NetVault

NetVault connects Australian businesses to the internet, cloud, and each other — through a network spanning ten Tier 3/4 data centres across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. We aggregate dozens of wholesale carriers (Telstra Wholesale, Optus Wholesale, NBNCo, AAPT, and more) so our clients and our channel partners always get the best service for their clients.

Our product pillars:

* Internet & Connectivity — Business NBN, NBN Enterprise Ethernet, Business Ethernet, Direct Fibre Access, 4G/5G, SD-WAN, Private MPLS, and Project Sonic (10Gbps cloud connections)

* Voice & Telephony — Hosted PBX, Hosted 3CX, SIP Trunks, Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, Inbound 1300/1800

* Cloud & Co-location — Managed cloud hosting, server infrastructure, co-location across our national DC footprint

* Emerging Technology — We were the first company in Australia to deploy standalone Starlink terminals commercially, and we continue to lead in satellite connectivity for businesses and emergency services

Our primary route to market is through business, government and enterprise clients, MSPs and channel partners — we support their business so they can support theirs.



Requirements

The Role

You'll be a central part of our Service Desk and Network Operations Centre (NOC), handling support across internet, voice, and cloud services for our clients, MSP partners and their end customers. The role is deliberately broad — expect variety every day.

* Assisting with NOC functions, including communicating scheduled and unscheduled outages


Internet & Carrier Ordering

* Ordering and coordinating NBN and business internet services with wholesale carriers (Telstra, Optus, AAPT, NBNCo)

* Tracking order progress and keeping partners and end-users updated throughout provisioning


Voice & Telephony Configuration

Essential

* Excellent verbal and written English — this is a customer-facing role and your communication is your brand

* A genuine passion for technology and problem-solving

* Helpdesk process knowledge and an understanding of escalation paths

* Foundational networking knowledge: TCP/IP, VLANs, routing & switching basics, firewalls

? Current Australian driver's licence

Highly Regarded

* Degree or diploma in IT, Network Engineering, or a related discipline
