Regional Victoria has a growing technology workforce across local government, health services, education, agriculture technology, manufacturing and shared service centres. The challenge for employers is reach: the right specialist may live locally, in Melbourne, or anywhere in Australia.
Zone IT Solutions has an office at the Ballarat Business Centre and recruits for employers across Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Gippsland, Shepparton and the wider state. We search locally first, then widen to candidates open to relocation, regular travel or remote work.
We also help you shape the offer, from hybrid terms to relocation support, so regional roles compete with metro salaries on value, not just pay.
