- Identify opportunities for improvement across network operations and recommend enhancements to integrated hardware, software, communications, and operating systems
- Design, plan, and coordinate network architecture strategies that align with the organisation's broader technology goals and operational requirements
- Perform routine and scheduled network maintenance, including software and hardware upgrades, patch management, and system backups to ensure continuity and resilience
- Troubleshoot and resolve network faults, connectivity issues, and performance degradation, providing timely support to internal teams and end users
- Develop and maintain comprehensive network documentation, including topology diagrams, configuration records, and operational procedures
- Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends, providing informed recommendations on tools and solutions that could improve network capability and efficiency
- Collaborate with cross-functional IT teams, vendors, and stakeholders to support infrastructure projects, system integrations, and technology upgrades
- Contribute to the development and enforcement of network policies, standards, and security protocols to safeguard the organisation's data and systems
- Assist in capacity planning and forecasting to ensure the network infrastructure can support current and future organisational demands
