You’re brilliant at delivering technical projects. We’re brilliant at creating an environment where senior engineers can actually do their best work.

First Focus is Australia’s #1 mid-market MSP — eight years running.

We’re growing fast (300+ staff across AU, NZ, PH, SA & Ireland), winning great clients, and occasionally acquiring businesses and onboarding their environments. That means fresh platforms, complex integrations, and real architectural influence — not just rinse-and-repeat projects.

If you want variety, challenge, and the chance to shape environments (not just maintain them), this is the role.

Why You’ll Love It Here

🧠 We understand project engineers — variety and ownership > endless ticket queues

🚀 You get time to design, not just “make do” with whatever’s there

🎯 We choose clients who value quality (and pay for it)

🔄 Some projects involve integrating newly acquired businesses or onboarding their clients — real-world complexity with real impact

👥 You’ll work with smart engineers, solid TAMs and leadership who listen

🌱 We promote from within — real career paths, not dead ends

How We Work (Our Values)

These aren’t posters on a wall — they shape how we operate every day:

✅ We keep everyone informed
No secrets, no siloed decisions, no “last to know.” Transparency builds trust.

✅ We stay aligned
Clear goals, clear priorities, zero confusion. You’ll always know what success looks like.

✅ We support each other
Engineers help engineers. Leaders remove roadblocks. You’re never left to struggle alone.

✅ We reward performance
High effort and high impact are recognised with progression, pay rises, bonuses — and trust.

This is why people stick around.
