  • Ensure data integrity through regular back-up routine

  • Ensure overall security and upgrades are applied

  • Keep all registers of equipment, software, domains and users are maintained

 

The skills and experience you’ll need:

  • Ability to provide technical support and resolve queries with service levels

  • Someone who is able to collaborative and communicate requirements to internal and external stakeholders
