Job description:

TOTCI Technologies is looking for a Senior Network Engineer who can independently design, configure, and support network infrastructure, while also leading a small technical team when required. The candidate must be comfortable working hands‑on as an individual contributor and taking ownership of customer projects and support escalations.

Key responsibilities

• Design, implement, and support LAN, WAN, and wireless networks for internal and customer environments (routing, switching, VPNs, VLANs, Wi‑Fi, firewalls).
• Install, configure, and troubleshoot routers, switches, wireless access points, and security appliances on‑site and remotely.
• Monitor network performance, proactively identify issues, and ensure high availability and uptime as per SLAs.
• Handle Level 2/Level 3 escalations, perform root‑cause analysis, and document solutions and standard procedures.
• Lead and mentor a small team of network/support engineers, allocate tasks, and review their work when acting as team lead.
• Coordinate with project managers and sales/pre‑sales teams to validate network designs, BOQs, and implementation plans for customer projects.
• Implement and maintain network security best practices including access control, segmentation, VPNs, and firewall policies.
• Maintain accurate documentation: network diagrams, configurations, change records, and incident reports.
• Stay updated on new networking technologies relevant to SME/enterprise customers (SD‑WAN, cloud connectivity, advanced Wi‑Fi, etc.).

Skills

Required skills and experience

• 4–7 years of hands‑on experience as a Network Engineer in SME/enterprise environments, preferably with system integrators or IT service providers.
• Strong knowledge of IP networking concepts: TCP/IP, VLANs, routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP), STP, VPNs, NAT, QoS, and wireless networking.
• Practical experience with major vendor devices such as Cisco, Huawei, HPE/Aruba, MikroTik, Fortinet, or similar.
• Experience configuring and troubleshooting firewalls, site‑to‑site and remote access VPNs, and basic security policies.
• Ability to work independently on customer sites, manage time effectively, and take full ownership of implementations and support tickets.
• Proven experience guiding or mentoring junior engineers or being the technical escalation point for a small team.
• Good understanding of monitoring tools and protocols (SNMP, Syslog, basic NMS tools) is an advantage.
• Relevant certifications such as CCNA/CCNP, HCIA/HCIP, NSE, or equivalent are preferred but not mandatory if experience is strong.

Personal attributes

• Strong ownership mindset and ability to handle pressure during critical incidents.
• Clear communication skills in English.
