Company Description

Do amazing work

A career with Viva Energy is more than just a job. It’s a chance to join a group of people dedicated to supporting Australia’s evolving energy and convenience needs. We’re a leading retail, industrial and energy business, and we’ve been helping Australians reach their destination for more than 120 years.

Our plans for the future support Australia’s energy transition to sustainable, lower carbon energy solutions. And our recent acquisitions of Coles Express and OTR, we provide Australians with outstanding convenience.

At the heart of our plans is people power. People who want to grow and evolve with us. People with new perspectives, energy and passion to drive Viva Energy and their careers forward.

About Viva Energy

Join a team that values diversity. Viva Energy is a great place to be yourself. We believe in our people, trust in their positive intentions, and empower everyone to amplify their voice across the business. We value inclusion because that’s how we get the best outcomes.

Awarded the WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality for the past five years highlights that we are driven by our people and continuing our focus on making Viva Energy reflect the ever-changing face of Australia.

Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Database Engineer to help build and maintain scalable, resilient, and high‑performing database infrastructure services across the business. In this role, you’ll provide senior technical leadership across Viva Energy’s Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Cosmos DB platforms, while driving key project outcomes and ensuring strong governance and oversight of BAU services delivered by our managed service partner, DXC.

This position is ideal for someone who loves deep technical challenges, enjoys owning complex database environments end‑to‑end, and wants to play a pivotal role in shaping our modern data landscape. With a strong project delivery focus, you’ll influence architecture, performance, optimisation, and reliability across multiple critical platforms.

Responsibilities & Requirements

Act as the senior technical authority for Viva Energy’s Oracle and SQL Server environments across on‑prem, cloud (Azure/AWS), OT, IT and ~1,400 retail & energy sites.
Lead the design, engineering and delivery of major database projects — upgrades, migrations, cloud integration and modernisation across key systems like JDE, Dynamics 365, Oil Management Systems and more.
Own database architecture standards, patterns and lifecycle roadmaps.
Provide governance and oversight of BAU operations delivered by DXC, ensuring service quality, SLAs, stability and continuous improvement.
Be the escalation expert for complex incidents and performance challenges, driving RCA and long-term fixes.
Ensure platforms meet the highest levels of availability, performance, security and recoverability.
Partner with Cloud, Infrastructure, Security and Application teams to drive modernisation and transformation initiatives.
Oversee vendor management and commercial governance for database managed services.
Lead database workstreams across major infrastructure and application projects, including cloud migrations, consolidations and decommissioning.

Qualifications

7+ years’ experience in Database Administration in senior or lead roles
Significant enterprise‑level experience administering and engineering Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server across production, non‑production and DR environments (retail or regulated sector experience ideal).
Tertiary qualification in IT/Computer Science; Oracle or SQL Server certifications highly regarded.
Strong capability in database architecture, performance tuning, backup/recovery, HA/DR and infrastructure operations.
Experience with JD Edwards on Oracle/Azure is a major advantage.
Proven track record leading database projects in large organisations and working effectively with vendors and managed service providers.
Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and analytical skills, including RCA and anomaly detection.
Hands‑on experience designing and maintaining backup, recovery, HA and DR solutions (e.g., RMAN, Data Guard, SQL Server HA/DR) aligned to RTO/RPO targets.
Skilled in monitoring and optimising performance and capacity — including advanced SQL tuning and proactive issue prevention.
Strong understanding of database security, access controls, auditing, encryption and regulatory compliance.
Knowledge of Azure and hybrid cloud, Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform preferred), and automation/scripting.
Familiarity with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions for automated deployment pipelines.
Able to produce clear architecture diagrams, runbooks and governance documentation

Additional Information

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and encourage and support diversity in our traditional and non-traditional roles.

Please note: This role is being sourced through Viva Energy Australia, therefore we will not be accepting applications via external recruitment agencies.
