- Education in Information Technology, Computer Science or a related discipline (or equivalent working experience); professional certification (e.g. Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator / Solutions Expert (MCSE / MCSA) etc.) is a plus

You will possess the following **soft skills**:

- Eager to make a difference. You anticipate challenges and opportunities, taking initiative to prevent problems before they arise and capitalize on emerging trends to drive progress towards your goals.
- Collaborative. You enjoy working with cross-functional teams and are able to build consensus among stakeholders with competing priorities.

As a service based team in a dynamic environment, innovative and unique ideas and approaches are often required.

A positive, motivated and solutions oriented attitude is essential to this role.
