Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Level 2/Level 3 Engineer MSP
Compensation range: $1,700 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.
Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.
Who The Client Is: The client is a trusted Australian technology services provider that delivers comprehensive managed IT solutions tailored to businesses of all sizes. They specialize in proactive IT support, network and server management, and helpdesk services with a focus on reliability and customer satisfaction. Backed by partnerships with leading global vendors and supported by a responsive team, the company ensures seamless technology operations, secure infrastructure, and business continuity through customized, cost-effective IT strategies.
Role Overview: We’re looking for a high-calibre Level 2/Level 3 Engineer with strong MSP help desk experience who can operate with minimal oversight and take real ownership of technical issues from start to resolution.
This is not a ticket-passing role—you’ll be expected to troubleshoot deeply, think critically, and resolve issues efficiently before considering escalation.

Key Responsibilities:
- Provide Level 2 technical support to end users in an MSP environment, resolving escalated desktop, application, and network issues within agreed SLAs.

- Administer and support Microsoft 365 services including Admin Portal, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Modern Workplace features.
- Troubleshoot and support Windows desktop operating systems, ensuring devices are secure, patched, and performing optimally.
- Diagnose and resolve networking issues across DHCP, DNS, LAN, WLAN, and WAN environments.
- Support common business applications including Microsoft Office, accounting platforms (e.g., MYOB, QuickBooks Online), Dropbox, and Adobe Creative Cloud.
- Perform setup, troubleshooting, and maintenance of peripherals such as printers, scanners, and cameras.
- Manage, prioritize, and resolve tickets using a ticketing system (Kaseya Autotask preferred), ensuring accurate documentation and timely updates.
- Monitor and manage endpoints and alerts using RMM tools (Datto RMM preferred) to proactively identify and remediate issues.
- Implement, monitor, and troubleshoot backup solutions (e.g., Datto, StorageCraft) to ensure data protection and recoverability.
- Deploy and support endpoint security and XDR/antivirus solutions (e.g., Bitdefender), responding to security alerts and incidents.
- Provide basic server support and assist senior engineers with server-related tasks and escalations.
- Configure and support Fortinet firewalls, including initial setup, basic rule changes, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.
- Maintain accurate technical documentation and contribute to knowledge base articles and internal process improvements.
- Escalate complex issues appropriately while taking ownership through to resolution and follow-up with clients.
