Network Support Engineer

Role & What’s in it for the applicant and why would they apply?:

This is a great opportunity to join a network-focused environment where you’ll be working on real routing and switching technologies, not just basic IT support.

It’s ideal for someone at CCNA or JNCIA level who wants to build deeper experience in networking, with the chance to work on protocols like BGP and OSPF in a supportive setup.

• Troubleshoot issues across routing, switching, and connectivity.
