About the role
This is a central, network-level position responsible for keeping connectivity fast, secure, and reliable across the five DPS campuses and Equanimity Learning. You will be the single point of ownership for campus networks — WiFi, LAN, traffic, and firewall policy — so that teaching, examinations, and administration never stop for a connectivity reason. You will act on the Director's guidance for anything material, but own the day-to-day health of the network end to end. This is a role for someone hands-on, methodical, and comfortable being accountable for uptime across multiple sites.
Key responsibilities
1. Network monitoring and uptime
• Monitor WiFi and LAN performance across all five campuses, ensuring consistent coverage and uptime in classrooms, labs, admin blocks, and common areas.
• Maintain a consistent monitoring setup so that issues surface proactively through alerts, not through complaint tickets.
• Keep an up-to-date inventory and network diagram for each campus — switches, routers, access points, and cabling.
• Coordinate with ISPs and vendors for links, escalations, and service levels, and hold them to agreed terms.
2. Network traffic management
• Track and analyse network traffic across campuses to understand usage patterns and capacity.
• Identify congestion, bandwidth-heavy activity, and anomalies early, before they degrade service or become outages.
• Recommend and implement improvements — segmentation, prioritisation, capacity changes — to keep performance stable as usage grows.
3. Firewall and browsing security
• Configure and maintain firewalls across campuses, enforcing browsing and content policies appropriate for a K-12 environment.
• Maintain student-safe filtering and staff access tiers, keeping the network safe for children and aligned to school policy.
• Apply basic security hygiene — VLAN segmentation, guest-network isolation, patching, and access control — and keep clean records of policy changes.
Who you are
• Hands-on and technical — comfortable owning campus networks end to end rather than only escalating to vendors.
• Methodical and process-driven; you document your work and close loops without being chased.
• Calm under pressure — you treat an outage as a problem to be worked steadily, not a panic.
• A clear communicator who can explain network status and risks simply to a busy decision-maker.
• Able to work independently across sites while checking in on anything material.
Qualifications & experience
• Graduate in Computer Science, IT, Electronics, or a related field.
• 1 year in network administration or engineering; experience across multiple units or locations is an advantage.
• Hands-on with WiFi controllers, managed switches, firewalls (e.g., Fortinet / Sophos / pfSense), and network monitoring tools (PRTG, Zabbix, or similar).
• Sound understanding of VLANs, subnetting, DNS, DHCP, and content filtering.
• CCNA or equivalent, and experience with student-safe filtering, are an advantage.
• Fluent written and spoken English and Hindi.
