About the Role
Our client is looking for a Senior IT Technician to be the technical backbone of their team—someone who’s seen it all, fixed most of it, and can guide others through the rest.
You’ll work hands-on with enterprise infrastructure while mentoring junior techs and helping shape how their client deliver services to over 100 clients. This isn’t a “manage from a distance” role—you’ll be in the trenches, but with the authority and support to do things properly.
Duties & Responsibilities
Lead the technical charge
- Be the go-to expert for complex escalations across networking, security, and Microsoft environments
- Design and implement solutions for clients ranging from SMBs to enterprises
- Drive automation initiatives to make their team more efficient
Keep the company’s infrastructure rock-solid
- Manage FortiGate firewalls, MikroTik routers, and BGP configurations
- Administer Hyper-V clusters and Microsoft server environments
- Oversee M365 tenants—migrations, configurations, and ongoing optimisation
Build the team
- Mentor junior technicians and help them level up
- Create documentation that actually gets used
- Contribute to the companies internal knowledge base and best practices
Work with clients
- Understand their business challenges and translate them into technical solutions
- Be someone clients trust and want to work with
Desired Experience & Qualification
The essentials:
- 10+ years in IT with deep experience across multiple domains
- Expert-level knowledge of FortiGate security appliances
- Strong Microsoft 365 and Azure administration skills
- Solid networking fundamentals (routing, switching, firewalls, VPNs)
- Hyper-V and Windows Server administration experience
- Scripting/automation skills (PowerShell is a must)
- A valid driver’s licence and own transport
Bonus points for:
- Fortinet NSE certifications
- Microsoft certifications (Azure, M365)
- Cisco CCNP or equivalent
- Experience with Proxmox, Linux, or VoIP systems (3CX)
- ISP/carrier networking experience
The intangibles:
- You explain complex things simply
- You document as you go (not “when you have time”)
- You’re calm under pressure
- You take ownership—if it’s broken, you fix it
- You’re curious and keep learning
Interested?
- Competitive salary — R30,000+ depending on what you bring to the table
- Real technical work
- Growth opportunity — Help shape a growing company’s technical direction. Your input matters.
- Modern stack — Teraco-hosted infrastructure, 100Gbps networking, enterprise tools, and room to implement better solutions
- Team culture — Small team, no politics, direct communication. The company solve problems together.
- Learning budget — Certifications and training supported
- Work-life balance — our client works hard but respect personal time.
