VLAN Administration: Design, configure, and maintain VLAN segmentation across switches and sites to ensure proper network isolation, security, and traffic management. Camera / Surveillance Network Management: Manage the network infrastructure supporting all CCTV/camera systems, ensuring connectivity, uptime, and secure access for surveillance operations. Firewall Administration (Sophos): Configure, monitor, and maintain Sophos Firewalls across the HUB, FifthLab, Arena, and Castew buildings, including rule management, VPN configuration, and security policy enforcement. Documentation & Reporting: Maintain up-to-date network diagrams, IP/VLAN registers, and firewall configuration records; provide regular status reports to the Technical Lead. Incident Response: Investigate and resolve network-related incidents (connectivity loss, security alerts, device lockouts) promptly, escalating to the Technical Lead where required.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor's Degree / HND in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. 2–4 years' hands-on experience in network administration, ideally across multi-site environments. Working knowledge of Sophos Firewall administration (or equivalent enterprise firewall platforms). Solid understanding of VLANs, IP addressing/subnetting, and wireless Access Point management. Familiarity with vulnerability management concepts and experience collaborating with a SOC or security team on CVE remediation. Relevant certifications an advantage: CCNA, CompTIA Network+/Security+, Sophos certifications, or equivalent.

Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills under operational pressure. Good documentation habits and attention to detail. Ability to work independently across multiple sites while maintaining clear communication with the Technical Lead. Security-conscious mindset with an understanding of network hardening best practices.
