Key Responsibilities

· Network Design and Architecture: Assess current network infrastructure, design enhancements for scalability, and recommend architectures that support high availability, redundancy, and performance.

· Implementation and Configuration: Install, configure, and deploy network hardware and software, including routers, switches, firewalls, VPNs, and wireless access points.

· Maintenance and Monitoring: Perform routine maintenance, monitor network performance using tools like SNMP, NetFlow, or similar, and ensure uptime meets or exceeds 99.9%.

· Troubleshooting and Support: Diagnose and resolve network issues, including connectivity problems, latency, security breaches, and hardware failures. Provide 24/7 on-call support for critical incidents.

· Security and Compliance: Implement security best practices, conduct vulnerability assessments, ensure compliance with standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 20000 and integrate with existing cybersecurity frameworks.

· Optimization and Upgrades: Analyze network traffic patterns, recommend optimizations for bandwidth efficiency, and lead migration projects (e.g., to cloud-based networking or SD-WAN).

· Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed documentation of network configurations, create reports on performance metrics, and provide training/knowledge transfer to internal staff.

· Project Management: Assist in planning and executing network-related projects, including budget estimates and timelines.
