• Maintain IP address management, DNS/DHCP configurations, and routing setups (BGP/OSPF where applicable)
• Administer Ruckus WiFi controllers and access points, and resolve WiFi instability issues as needed

Firewall & Security

• Administer and maintain Sophos XG210 and Fortigate 200D firewalls
• Configure, manage, and maintain VPN tunnels for both site-to-site and remote access connections

• Oversee integration and synchronization between on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD
• Support network configurations within Azure and AWS environments, including virtual networks, subnets, and routing
• Implement and maintain hybrid connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments using VPN, ExpressRoute, or Direct Connect
• Hands‑on experience with AWS services such as EC2, CloudWatch, Route 53, RDS, Lightsail, and Lambda

Monitoring & Troubleshooting

• Proactively monitor network performance to identify and address bottlenecks or failures
• Utilise tools such as PRTG, Wireshark, and SolarWinds for diagnostics and performance analysis
• Collaborate with vendors and ISPs to troubleshoot and resolve connectivity issues

Support & Maintenance Windows

• Provide Level 2/3 technical support for escalated network and system issues
• Participate in the on-call rotation to support after-hours incidents

Documentation & Improvements

• Maintain up-to-date documentation of network topology, configurations, and system changes
• Propose and implement enhancements to improve network efficiency, stability, and security

Technical Skills

• Strong hands‑on experience with Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches, including configuration, VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree setup
• Good knowledge and experience with Sophos XG210 and Fortigate 200D firewalls
• Proficient in Microsoft 365, Azure, and AWS network and identity management
• Good understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, routing protocols (BGP/OSPF), and VPN technologies.
• Experienced in using network monitoring tools such as PRTG, SolarWinds, Wireshark, and Graylog
• Familiar with backup procedures and configuration management for network devices
• Holding Linux+ or an equivalent Linux certification is an advantage
• Preferred certifications include Cisco CCNA or CCNP, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator, and ideally, a Sophos or Fortigate Network Security certification
