  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
