About the Team

• Deliver hands-on support within secure facilities, including equipment setup, secure network patching, cabling, hardware replacement and direct assistance to users and operational teams.
• Work alongside systems, network, cyber and engineering specialists across GEO SPACES, developing broader ICT capability while following established processes for classified systems and information.
