    Have managed to figure this out for myself.

    For anyone else that is interested it's pretty straightforward, just add the 2 lines below:-

    $cred = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("<username>",’<password>’)
    $url = "https://some-URL.com/Test/Imports/Filename.7Z"
    $input = "C:\Temp\Filename.7Z"

         $proxy = New-Object System.Net.WebProxy("webproxy.example.com:8080")

    [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

    $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

         $wc.Proxy = $proxy

    $wc.Credentials = $cred
    $wc.UploadFile($url, "PUT", $input)
