Job Description

An university IT department in Kempton Park needs infrastructure that just works, and someone to make it so. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Build and maintain virtual machines on Hyper-V, VMware or Azure
Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
Monitor servers, links and firewalls and act on alerts
Plan hardware refreshes and licence renewals with a budget
Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs

You'll need

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

Nice if you have

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

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step
