Job description

We're seeking a Senior Network Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with a passion for solving real business challenges.

In this role, you'll lead the design, deployment, and optimization of enterprise network solutions that connect people, systems, and locations seamlessly across South Africa.

You'll be the trusted technical advisor for our enterprise clients—guiding them through complex network transformations involving campus networks, SD‑WAN, wireless infrastructure, data centres, and security.

Your work will span the full lifecycle: from understanding business requirements and designing integrated solutions, to hands‑on implementation, ongoing optimization, and building long‑term advisory relationships.

This isn't a role where you disappear after deployment.

You'll stay present—anticipating challenges, troubleshooting complex issues, mentoring junior engineers, and continuously finding ways to enhance performance and security.

You'll work across the iOCO family, bringing together diverse expertise to deliver solutions that just work.

If you're someone who can translate technical complexity into business value, who takes ownership of the entire client experience, and who thrives on both the technical depth and the human connections this work requires—this role is for you.

What you'll do:

• Network Implementation & Deployment
  • Lead technical implementations of complex Huawei enterprise networking solutions (LAN, SD‑WAN, WLAN, Data Centre, Automation, Orchestration and Security)
  • Manage network project timelines, technical milestones, and customer expectations during deployment
  • Conduct network integration testing, performance validation, and security assessments
  • Ensure compliance with network technical specifications and customer requirements
• Network Operations & Support
  • Provide Level 2 / 3 technical support for deployed Huawei networking and security solutions
  • Troubleshoot complex network issues, including routing, switching, wireless, and security problems
  • Coordinate with Huawei global support when required for advanced troubleshooting
  • Implement software updates, patches, and feature enhancements
• Network Security & Performance Management
  • Implement and maintain network security policies and access controls
  • Monitor network performance metrics and optimise for bandwidth, latency, and availability
  • Conduct network capacity planning and expansion recommendations
  • Manage network segmentation, VLANs, and traffic engineering
  • Implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies and traffic prioritisation
• Customer Network Relationship Management
  • Serve as primary network technical contact for enterprise customers post‑implementation
  • Conduct regular network health assessments and optimisation reviews
  • Provide network technical training and knowledge
