• Tertiary qualifications in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline and any certification in CCNA/CCNP would be highly regarded.
• Sound knowledge and understanding of IP/MPLS networks and protocols such as BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and Multi-Protocol BGP.

• Proficiency in network automation and scripting using Python, YAML, and Ansible, with knowledge of Infrastructure as Code and version control.
• Strong grasp of Linux operating systems for managing network devices.
• Experience managing voice technologies like Cisco Unified Call Manager and IP Trade systems.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex network issues.
• Knowledge of LAN/WAN architecture, network security best practices, and change management processes.
• Ability to thrive in a high-availability OT environment, supporting real-time systems like SCADA.
