Job Description

You'll keep servers, networks and cloud services up and secure for an internet service provider in Polokwane. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Polokwane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Build and maintain virtual machines on Hyper-V, VMware or Azure
  • Run and test backups, and do regular restore drills
  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins
  • Plan hardware refreshes and licence renewals with a budget
  • Handle access requests and keep records that support POPIA compliance
  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • CCNA, Fortinet NSE or MikroTik certification
  • Experience with SIEM tools such as Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh

On offer

  • Funded certification path
  • Standby allowance and overtime for maintenance windows
  • Medical aid and provident fund

How to apply

  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
