Job Description

A data centre in Rosslyn needs infrastructure that just works, and someone to make it so. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

  • Work with ISPs on link faults and fibre installs
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins
  • Manage users, groups and conditional access in Entra ID
  • Handle access requests and keep records that support POPIA compliance

You'll need

  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • Solid TCP/IP, routing, switching and firewall knowledge

  • ISO 27001 audit experience

What you get

  • Company laptop, phone and home internet allowance
