Description

At Datacom, we bring people and technology together to tackle challenges, create opportunities, and open up new possibilities for the communities we live in.

The Nitty Gritty:

Datacom is Australasia’s biggest homegrown tech services company, with over 6,500 people on board. We started out as a small family business, and while we’ve grown a lot since then, we still hold on to that close-knit, family vibe.

We’ve got a ton of experience running data centers, providing IT services, software engineering, application management, and even handling payroll and customer service design. We work with some of the biggest names out there and are always looking to hire, develop, and promote the best talent from all walks of life. We're proudly local but with world-class skills.

At the core of everything we do are our people. We’re all about what's best for our staff, customers, and communities. Since dominating the New Zealand government and corporate IT scene, we’ve expanded into the Philippines, Malaysia, and Australia, and our growth is just getting started.

Got what it takes to help us grow? This is your chance to jump in at the ground level of something exciting. You’ll get the perks of being part of a start-up, with the security and backing of a large multinational – minus the downsides.
