Job Description

A managed services provider in Pretoria East needs infrastructure that just works, and someone to make it so. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

Must-haves

  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications
  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • Solid TCP/IP, routing, switching and firewall knowledge
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python

Extra points for

  • Azure Administrator (AZ-104) or AWS Solutions Architect Associate
  • ISO 27001 audit experience
  • Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Ansible

What you get

  • Medical aid and provident fund

  • Standby allowance and overtime for maintenance windows

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pretoria East 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 plus short summary of one infrastructure project you led.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
