Job Description

When the network goes down at this manufacturing group with several sites in Khayelitsha, you're the one who brings it back. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Khayelitsha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Handle access requests and keep records that support POPIA compliance
  • Build and maintain virtual machines on Hyper-V, VMware or Azure
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins
  • Monitor servers, links and firewalls and act on alerts
  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID
  • Document network diagrams and change records

You'll need

  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Strong Windows Server, Active Directory and Microsoft 365 skills, or Linux for Linux posts

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

Applying, step by step

  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): certification transcript from Microsoft, Cisco or AWS plus IT degree or diploma.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
