Job Description

A data centre in Isando needs infrastructure that just works, and someone to make it so. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Isando; 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.

  • Build and maintain virtual machines on Hyper-V, VMware or Azure
  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures

  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins

You'll need

  • Clear change management and documentation habits

  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python

What you get
