- Configure and manage MikroTik, Ubiquiti, Teltonika or similar equipment, covering LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, VPN, routing, switching, firewalls, VLANs, DNS and DHCP.
- Plan network architecture with clear segmentation, redundancy, failover, secure remote access and site-to-site connectivity, using dynamic routing such as OSPF or BGP where needed.
- Keep field teams connected by supporting LTE/5G routers, Starlink, VPN access and bonding, and troubleshoot remotely when issues arise.
- Monitor availability, performance and security with Grafana, Prometheus and SNMP, and take incidents through to root cause and long-term fixes.
- Maintain firewall rules, VPN configurations and access policies together with IT Security.
- Build and support hybrid connectivity between local infrastructure, Google Cloud and other hosted environments.
- Use AI tools in your daily work to troubleshoot faster, analyse logs, review configurations and write documentation.
- Keep the network documented and repeatable with diagrams, IP plans, a device inventory, configuration backups and change control.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
- Strong hands-on experience implementing, administering and troubleshooting networks in business or industrial environments.
- Solid knowledge of TCP/IP, routing and switching, including VLANs, subnetting, NAT and dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP.
- Experience managing routers, switches, firewalls, access points, LTE/5G routers and VPN gateways.
- Good knowledge of network security, including segmentation, least-privilege access, firewall policies and secure remote access.
- Practical experience with network monitoring, alerting and logging, and the ability to trace complex issues from the ISP to the endpoint.
- Experience supporting hybrid environments that combine office networks, local servers, cloud infrastructure and remote sites.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools in your everyday work, for example to analyse logs, summarise incidents or draft documentation.
- An ownership mindset, good documentation habits and professional English, which you will use daily with international teams, vendors and field crews.
