Job Description

When the network goes down at this data centre in Midrand, you're the one who brings it back. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at a data centre. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Document network diagrams and change records

Must-haves

  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications
  • Clear change management and documentation habits

Helpful, not essential

  • ISO 27001 audit experience
  • Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Ansible

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Midrand 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 IT degree or diploma.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
