Job Description

Patch, monitor, back up and harden systems at a data centre in Soweto. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Soweto; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Run and test backups, and do regular restore drills
  • Plan hardware refreshes and licence renewals with a budget
  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices
  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID

What you need

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

Nice if you have

  • Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Ansible
  • CCNA, Fortinet NSE or MikroTik certification

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certification transcript from Microsoft, Cisco or AWS, short summary of one infrastructure project you led plus IT degree or diploma.
