Job Description

You'll keep servers, networks and cloud services up and secure for an university IT department in Alberton. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Alberton-based, with most of your time spent at an university IT department. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Monitor servers, links and firewalls and act on alerts
  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID
  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Plan hardware refreshes and licence renewals with a budget
  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices

You'll need

  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Strong Windows Server, Active Directory and Microsoft 365 skills, or Linux for Linux posts
  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • Solid TCP/IP, routing, switching and firewall knowledge
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration

Nice if you have

  • ISO 27001 audit experience
  • Experience with SIEM tools such as Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Alberton really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certification transcript from Microsoft, Cisco or AWS, short summary of one infrastructure project you led plus IT degree or diploma.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
