Job Description

You'll keep servers, networks and cloud services up and secure for a manufacturing group with several sites in Paarl. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Paarl. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Monitor servers, links and firewalls and act on alerts
  • Run and test backups, and do regular restore drills
  • Document network diagrams and change records
  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices
  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Build and maintain virtual machines on Hyper-V, VMware or Azure
  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures

You'll need

  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • Solid TCP/IP, routing, switching and firewall knowledge
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications

Helpful, not essential

  • Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Ansible
  • ISO 27001 audit experience

What's in it for you

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