Multiple opportunities and technical streams

We are hiring for three I&IT Senior Solutions Designer opportunities through a single recruitment process.

As part of the application process, you will be asked to identify the stream(s) for which you would like to be considered. You may select one, two, or all three streams based on your skills, experience, and areas of expertise. Separate eligibility lists will be established and maintained for each stream.
• To support the assessment of your application, please provide clear examples demonstrating how your experience, knowledge, and skills align with the qualifications and technical requirements of your selected stream(s). As this is a single recruitment process, candidates are only required to submit one application and should ensure it reflects their qualifications for all stream(s) selected.
