• Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitoring the local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) to ensure optimal speed, availability, and efficiency.

• Troubleshooting: Diagnosing and resolving network problems, such as connectivity issues and system malfunctions.

• Security Management: Implementing and managing network security policies, controls, and user permissions to protect against threats.

• Maintenance & Upgrades: Performing preventive maintenance, upgrading network infrastructure, and managing backup systems.

• Communication Skills: The ability to clearly communicate technical information to colleagues, management, and users, as well as coordinate with external parties.

• Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail is crucial, as even minor errors can significantly impact network performance and security.

• Time & Project Management: The capacity to juggle multiple tasks, projects, and deadlines simultaneously, and prioritize accordingly.

Required Skills and Experience

• 1–3 years of relevant hands-on IT experience in areas such as network engineering, systems administration, desktop support, help desk, or closely related technical support roles.

• Hypervisor Management: Proficiently using virtualization software, such as VMWare and Proxmox, to create and manage virtual machines.

• Communication: Effective communication skills to explain technical issues to both IT and non-IT staff.

• Attention to Detail: Meticulous approach to configurations and security to prevent network disruptions.

• Teamwork and Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with other IT professionals and end-users.

• Initiative: A proactive mindset to address problems and recommend improvements.

• Awareness: The ability to "Read the room" when dealing with different types of customers and colleagues.

• Flexibility: Strong flexibility and adaptability, with a willingness to shift priorities, adjust plans when issues arise, and contribute positively to the team through frequent change, rather than preferring a fixed routine or struggling with unexpected disruptions.

• Capability to sit for extended periods while performing computer-based tasks, system monitoring, and administrative duties.

• Adequate vision (with or without corrective lenses) to read technical documentation, monitor system outputs, and inspect hardware components.

• Manual dexterity and steady hand–eye coordination for handling small cables, connectors, and components within servers, switches, and networking equipment.

• Ability to bend, kneel, or reach during equipment setup and cabling tasks in confined or elevated spaces.

• Sufficient auditory capability to effectively participate in meetings, hear alerts from monitoring systems, and communicate via phone or conferencing tools.

• Mobility to move between different workstations, equipment rooms, and server areas as required.

• Ability to work occasional extended hours, nights, or weekends to perform maintenance, upgrades, or respond to critical system events.
