Bytewize Vacancy 2026-2769 for Specialist Technicians

Bytewize is hiring a seasoned IT professional to support the Department of Education through the Technical Support to Schools Program (TSSP). The role is on site in Box Hill South, Victoria, and Bytewize can offer contract, casual, or permanent arrangements depending on the fit. Bytewize has been delivering ICT support since 2001 and remains a trusted TSSP panel member, known for reliable service to Victorian schools and private enterprise clients. The right candidate will enjoy working across enterprise environments within an education setting, collaborating with school staff and leadership while solving real-world tech challenges.

The position sits within a team that keeps education technology humming in schools, balancing hands-on infrastructure work with strategic support. It’s a role for someone who thrives in environments with complex networks, where you’ll be the go-to person for staff and students alike, ensuring systems are stable, secure, and easy to use on a day-to-day basis.

This is not a junior role. Bytewize is seeking professionals with substantial IT experience and a track record of delivering solid ICT support in demanding settings. If you’re comfortable taking ownership of large, technology-driven learning environments and can work well both independently and as part of a broader team, this could be a strong match.

Keeping schools connected and running smoothly

You’ll oversee and maintain ICT infrastructure across Department of Education schools, ensuring networks and server environments run reliably and securely. In practice, that means hands-on administration of school networks, routine maintenance, and user support for staff and students as needed. You’ll bring depth to large, technology-enabled classrooms and learning spaces, helping keep critical systems online and responsive during busy periods.

Collaboration is a big part of the role. You’ll work with school leadership teams and, when required, deliver ICT professional development to staff. Your work will help bridge the gap between classroom needs and the tech that makes daily teaching and administration possible, translating complex technical details into practical guidance for non-technical users.

What you’re bringing to the role

To be considered, the following are essential:

• At least five years in the IT field with hands-on experience in environments that mirror enterprise scale
• Experience within the Technical Support to Schools Program, or substantial exposure to the education sector, or equivalent senior-level corporate IT support

Nice-to-haves that would bolster your application include the following:

• Previous involvement with the TSSP
• A track record of success delivering ICT outcomes in education environments
• The ability to design and run ICT training sessions for school staff

Pay, perks and practical details

The role carries a salary range of $80,000 to $110,000 per year, pro-rata, with top rates guaranteed based on your skills and experience. Bytewize offers regular performance-based salary reviews and flexible employment options, including contract, casual, or permanent arrangements. Both part-time and full-time positions are available, with opportunities for salary packaging and company vehicle provision depending on the specific role. The company also supports ongoing training and professional development to keep you current with the latest ICT practices.

Tips to help you stand out for Bytewize

Put the must-have experience at the top of your resume. Lead with your five or more years in IT and highlight any direct TSSP involvement or substantial education-sector work you’ve done. This helps the hiring team see you meet the core requirement immediately.

Show concrete proof of the essential technical skills. Describe real-world projects where you managed Hyper-V environments, administered Windows and Linux servers, handled Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, deployed and managed MDM, and configured enterprise networking with Cisco and HP gear. Also mention your experience with SOE/images and supporting large fleets of desktops and BYOD programs.

Be ready to talk through specific 1:1 or BYOD deployments. The job emphasizes 1:1 and BYOD device planning, deployment, and management, so have examples ready of how you planned, rolled out, and supported these programs across a school or similar large environment.

Ask thoughtful questions about how the role integrates with school leadership and the TSSP, and about opportunities for staff ICT training. A good question shows you’re thinking about the long-term impact of ICT in education and how you can contribute to professional development initiatives.
