Job Description

When the network goes down at this data centre in Klerksdorp, you're the one who brings it back. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a data centre on the Klerksdorp side of North West. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins
  • Monitor servers, links and firewalls and act on alerts
  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures
  • Document network diagrams and change records
  • Build and maintain virtual machines on Hyper-V, VMware or Azure
  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID

You'll need

  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • Strong Windows Server, Active Directory and Microsoft 365 skills, or Linux for Linux posts

Nice if you have

  • Experience with SIEM tools such as Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh
  • ISO 27001 audit experience
  • Azure Administrator (AZ-104) or AWS Solutions Architect Associate

What you get

  • Standby allowance and overtime for maintenance windows
