What does this job entail?
‘Digital first’ is a key element of KBC’s strategy. A reliable network is therefore essential for all users, so our employees can always easily access digital applications via VPN and Wi-Fi.
As Systems Engineer in our team, you will strengthen a great group of colleagues with extensive experience in user connectivity and networks. And because we manage four different domains, there are always opportunities to learn. We are responsible for end-user connectivity technologies SDWAN, LAN/Wi-Fi, VPN and firewalls for all Belgian offices, as well as several offices abroad (e.g. in Dublin, New York, and Singapore).
Together with your colleagues you will provide an easy to maintain scalable user network with high availability. Ready for this challenge?
What do we expect from you?
- You will be jointly responsible for one or more of our domains; you will monitor the performance, as well as the system resource utilisation, trends and capacity planning.
- You will provide 2nd/3rd-line support, including troubleshooting to resolve issues and problems arising. For this, you will have frequent contact with suppliers and colleagues.
- You will maintain the network and implement upgrades, such as service packs, patches, hotfixes and security configurations.
- When making changes to the network infrastructure, you will follow our configuration and change management policies.
- Together with colleagues, you will select and implement your tools, policies and procedures for security.
- You will configure and coordinate the implementation of network equipment and services such as routers, switches, SDWAN devices and remote access systems.
Your key strengths?
- You have a bachelor’s or master’s and a good basic knowledge of network technology. And it would be an advantage if you have specific product knowledge within a network.
- You are eager to learn more about VPN/remote access, LAN, (SD)WAN, NAC, firewalls, cloud integration or about automation and scripting.
- You are looking forward to working in a team together with your colleagues.
- Occasionally, work has to be done outside normal working hours, you understand this and are happy to be part of the on-call rota.
- You naturally allocate the correct priority to incidents, after all, some issues are simply more urgent than others.
- You can communicate fluently in Dutch and English.
What can we offer you?
- With us at KBC you can expect superb onboarding, very friendly colleagues and a great atmosphere at work.
- Throughout your career at KBC we will encourage you to continually grow as a person and as a professional. You can follow training courses to further hone your hard and soft skills.
- Our offices are easy to reach by public transport, and if you prefer you can work from home or another head office some of the time.
- Flexible working hours help you to create a good work-life balance.
- We will offer you a permanent contract and a competitive salary, with additional fringe benefits. Sounds familiar? Of course, you read this in every job ad. However, KBC makes the difference for you with a comprehensive flex package. It’s too extensive to explain here, but we will be happy to discuss the various benefits – large and small – with you during your interview.
Can you help us make the difference?
I work together with experienced experts implementing new network technology and ensuring operational stability. Complex problems, new challenges, working together across national borders – no two days are ever the same.
