Job Description

Role: Microsoft Hybrid Identity Engineer

Location: Hervey Bay, Queensland (ideally onsite but will consider options for the right candidate – must be onsite for cutovers and commissioning)

Duration: Contract – 24 months   

  

Talent Street is looking for a Microsoft Hybrid Identity Engineer for one of our clients in the local government in Hervey Bay QLD.

 

About the role:  

 

Work as a contractor delivering targeted, project-based modernisation; leading hybrid identity, name‑services and server platform renewals that replace ageing on‑prem systems with secure, cloud‑ready solutions.

This engagement focuses on migrations, re-architecture, disaster recovery, PKI, Azure DNS/DHCP, observability (including open‑source stacks), HCI server migrations and Azure ARC onboarding — all delivered to public‑sector standards.

 

Consider this role if you enjoy:

  • Delivering measurable public value by modernising infrastructure that supports council services used by residents and staff every day.
  • Working on a technically broad, high‑visibility programme that spans identity, PKI, DNS/DHCP, Azure DR, HCI and observability.
  • Short‑term, high‑impact engagement with clear milestones, autonomy and opportunity to shape long‑term council infrastructure.
  • The potential for further work across the council’s digital programme.

 

Required experience and skills:

  • Proven track record delivering hybrid Active Directory and Azure Entra Directory migrations/re-architectures in production environments.
  • Hands‑on experience with AD Connect, federation or modern authentication strategies and troubleshooting directory syncs.
  • Demonstrated service‑account and privileged credential modernisation, including managed identities.
  • Practical PKI experience: CA hierarchy, templates, issuance/renewal automation and revocation practices.
  • Experience architecting Azure disaster recovery to run essential services; testing failover and restore procedures.
  • Server migration experience on hyperconverged platforms (e.g., VMware (vSphere), Nutanix, HPE SimpliVity, vSAN) and Azure ARC onboarding.
  • Extensive experience with Azure DNS and Azure DHCP, zone architecture, split‑DNS and DHCP scope/IPAM design.
  • Strong observability skills with Azure Monitor/Log Analytics and open‑source stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Open Telemetry).
  • Scripting and automation: PowerShell, Azure CLI, ARM/Bicep, Terraform or equivalent.
  • Excellent documentation, procurement support experience and stakeholder management in public‑sector contexts.
  • Ability to work autonomously as a contractor while collaborating with council teams and external suppliers.

 

Desirable experience and skills:

  • Microsoft certifications (Azure Administrator, Azure Solutions Architect, Microsoft 365 Identity).
  • Experience with PAM, IGA, SCIM provisioning and migrating apps to OAuth2/OIDC.
  • Prior contracting work within local or state government and familiarity with public‑sector procurement and audit requirements.
