About the Role

As a Senior Engineer - ERP, you will play an important role in the ongoing development, performance and support of Datacom’s corporate application systems.

This is a hands-on senior engineering opportunity combining complex problem-solving, application design, software installation and maintenance, performance monitoring, stakeholder consultation and technical guidance. You will work closely with users and delivery teams, particularly on larger projects, to translate requirements into practical designs and support applications through development and testing.

You will also help uplift capability across the team by mentoring other engineers, sharing your technical knowledge and contributing to a collaborative and innovative engineering culture.

What you’ll do

At the moment, as Senior Engineer - ERP you will be focused on:

• Analysing and documenting requirements and design specifications for corporate application systems.
• Resolving complex application and systems issues and providing technical consultation to users in line with established support models.
