An IoT Service Technician sets up and supports networks of connected devices. These professionals work across healthcare, farming, smart buildings, and industrial settings.
Key duties include device setup, network config, firmware updates, and fault finding. Technicians must know IoT protocols such as MQTT, Zigbee, and LoRaWAN. They also make sure devices meet security and compliance rules.
Strong tech skills are essential, but so is clear contact with clients and stakeholders. Technicians put complex issues into plain language for non-technical users.
As IoT grows in Australia, this career offers entry into a fast-moving tech field. With time, it can lead to roles in systems design, project management, or security.
