Job Description

You'll keep servers, networks and cloud services up and secure for a manufacturing group with several sites in Boksburg. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Boksburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures
  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices
  • Monitor servers, links and firewalls and act on alerts

What you need

  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications
  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python

Nice if you have

  • Experience with SIEM tools such as Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh
  • CCNA, Fortinet NSE or MikroTik certification

What's in it for you

  • Funded certification path
  • Company laptop, phone and home internet allowance
  • Medical aid and provident fund
  • Standby allowance and overtime for maintenance windows

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): IT degree or diploma plus certification transcript from Microsoft, Cisco or AWS.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Mention the environment size, such as "120 VMs, 14 sites, 900 users", as it tells recruiters your level.
  • Be ready to talk through an outage you fixed, step by step; it's a common interview question.
