Global IT System Engineer Network & Security Job Description
Are you a driven Network Engineer with an eye for detail and a passion for simplifying processes? At Stahl, you'll work as a specialist to elevate our network performance and security to an even higher level.
What will you do?
In this role, you'll be responsible for managing and maintaining our network infrastructure for our locations worldwide. You'll ensure that our systems are always available and secure, helping Stahl move forward. You'll stay informed about technological developments and advise the organization on these matters.
Your tasks and responsibilities specifically include:
* Managing and maintaining routers, switches, and firewalls (lifecycle management) LAN/WAN infrastructure
* Implementing network solutions and improvements that align with Stahl's growing needs
* Monitoring network performance and proactively acting to prevent downtime

* Collaborating with other IT teams to ensure seamless integration and compatibility of systems
* Supporting users with network issues and actively working on customer satisfaction
* Contributing to projects aimed at improving IT infrastructure and optimizing processes

Although your focus is on the "networking" discipline, we also exchange expertise within the team. This way, you can also be a backup for colleagues within the Technical Infrastructure team (cloud workplace / connectivity).
Who are you?
You are a driven specialist with strong analytical skills and a results-oriented attitude. Additionally, you're hands-on and flexible: during peak times, you pitch in, and together with your colleagues, you "fix" it. With your eager-to-learn and initiative-taking attitude, you actively think about how processes and working methods can be further optimized. You get energized by solving complex issues and contribute to a safe, reliable, and future-proof IT infrastructure.
Furthermore, you have:
* A completed IT education at least at Bachelor level
* Minimum of 3 years experience in network management, preferably in a complex environment
* Experience with network automation and complex problem-solving (preferably within an enterprise or datacenter environment)
* Knowledge of SD-WAN technology is a plus (Velocloud / CATO)
* Experience with Cisco and Fortinet equipment and management and monitoring tools such as Cisco Catalyst Center and PRTG
* Excellent command of Dutch and English, both verbal and written
* Willingness to travel: you'll visit our sites in places like the US, Italy, or Singapore a few times a year
