Technical and Network Operations Engineer

Introductie

Company Description
Our client’s company is specialising in delivering network, large-scale IP services and capacity services worldwide. At the moment, they have one of the larger networks in the Netherlands and have heavily automated/optimized floor work, allowing them to manage everything themselves.

The company has a significantly large network (4.5Tb/s backbone) and currently has brunches with big data centers.

Role Description
We are seeking a Technical and Network Operations Engineer who will be responsible for mapping the entire network through a network report and making suggestions for improvements; managing the network and handling incidents.

It’s a full-time position with growth opportunities within the company.
