Are you our Senior Network Engineer who likes to sink your teeth into technology and is looking forward to the next step in your career?
VUB is always looking for new talent to grow with!
For almost 50 years, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has stood for freedom, equality and connectedness. These values are strongly present on our campuses, in our students as well as our staff. At the VUB, you’ll find a diverse collection of personalities: pure innovators and especially people who are 100% their authentic selves. With about 3.500 employees, we are the largest Flemish-speaking employer in Brussels, an international city with which we are all too happy to be connected, and around which our four campuses are located.
The university's general strategic plan defines ICT as a "key enabler" for education and research. Aware of the challenges ahead, the VUB places ICT and the modernisation of its applications (Student Administration, Research Administration, Finance, HR, etc.) high on its agenda. For example, it also invested in the Nexus data centre, which will house the new Flemish Tier-1 supercomputer.
Setting
The ICT Directorate has a total of about 80 employees and is divided into five departments: Operations & Infrastructure, Service Centre, Scientific Data & Compute, Applications and Office of the CIO.
As 'Senior Network Engineer' you will join the 10-member "VUBnet" team that falls under Operations & Infrastructure.
You will strengthen the 'Technology' section of this team, which is characterised by its enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. You will report to the department head of Network Micky Mattens.
Responsibilities
You help define the future network infrastructure of our university.
The team writes various technology procedures and standards for the VUBnet colleagues, monitors the latest developments (e.g. on hybrid data centre networking, Network Security, Campus routing and switching) and applies these to the needs of VUB.
These colleagues are the 'specialists' within the VUBnet team and each has their own technology expertise.
Some of your tasks
You are responsible for the design, implementation and management of your technology areas.
You work together with colleagues cross team to keep VUB ICT maximally available for the end users.
In addition, you are responsible for providing L3 support and you continue to develop in order to keep knowledge expertise consistently high.
For this position, Brussels Humanities, Sciences & Engineering Campus (Ixelles) will be your home base, in combination with working from home.
VUB aims to be a reflection of society where everyone's talent is valued regardless of gender, sex, age, religion, skin colour, migration background, functional disability and neurodiversity.
