The Opportunity
The Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS) is recruiting for a Parliamentary Service Level 4 ICT Support Officer within Digital Customer Services Branch.
The ICT Service Delivery section is a customer-facing support team that provides ICT equipment and solutions to parliamentarians, their staff, the four parliamentary departments and for Commonwealth Parliamentary Offices (CPOs).
