  • Plan hardware refreshes and licence renewals with a budget
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules

  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • Solid TCP/IP, routing, switching and firewall knowledge
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration

Helpful, not essential
