Network Engineer (Cisco and Fortinet)

An university IT department in Alberton needs infrastructure that just works, and someone to make it so. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

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.

• Handle access requests and keep records that support POPIA compliance
• Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
• Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID
• Document network diagrams and change records

• At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
