System & Network Engineer
Our client, a well-established organisation located in the heart of Brussels, just a short walk from Brussels Central Station, is looking for a System & Network Engineer to strengthen its Infrastructure team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an infrastructure professional who enjoys combining project work with operational responsibilities. Approximately 70% of your time will be dedicated to infrastructure projects, while the remaining 30% will focus on maintaining and supporting the existing environment.
About the role
You'll join a close-knit Infrastructure team consisting of four engineers and a Team Leader. Working in a relatively small team means you'll enjoy a broad technical scope and be involved in a wide variety of infrastructure initiatives.
The organisation is currently completing an important infrastructure transformation. While the core hardware infrastructure is gradually being centralised at national level, the local team remains responsible for the software layer, server environments, deployments, automation and continuous improvement.
This is therefore a role where you'll help shape the future infrastructure while ensuring business
continuity.
What you'll do
Approximately 70% Project Work
You'll actively contribute to the evolution of the infrastructure landscape by participating in projects such as:
Infrastructure automation initiatives
Windows 11 deployment and workstation standardisation
Server clustering and high-availability projects
Automation through scripting
SharePoint-related projects
Automating employee onboarding processes
Continuous improvement of the server and virtualisation environment
Deployment of new infrastructure components and software packages
Creating technical documentation and sharing knowledge within the IT team
You'll work closely with your colleagues to identify opportunities for automation, improve existing processes and modernise the infrastructure environment.
Approximately 30% Operational Activities
Alongside project work, you'll also help ensure the stability and performance of the infrastructure by handling:
2nd and 3rd line infrastructure support
Windows Server administration
Basic Linux administration
Server patching and lifecycle management
Virtual machine management
Backup administration
Windows 11 image and MSI package deployment
Database administration
Network monitoring and troubleshooting
Core switch monitoring and incident resolution
Technical documentation
Supporting and training the Helpdesk whenever new technologies or major changes are introduced
Who we're looking for
We're looking for a versatile infrastructure engineer rather than a pure networking specialist.
Both medior and senior profiles are welcome. Ideally, you have around five years of relevant experience, although candidates with approximately two to three years of solid infrastructure experience and a strong willingness to learn will also be considered.
You'll have experience with most of the following:
Windows Server administration
Basic to intermediate Linux administration
Virtualisation and server management
Patch management and software deployments
Backup solutions
Database administration
Switching, network monitoring and troubleshooting
Scripting or infrastructure automation (PHP is a plus)
Docker and/or JBoss is considered an advantage
Languages
Fluency in French or Dutch, with at least a good understanding of the other national language.
What you'll enjoy
Besides an exciting and technically diverse role, you'll benefit from an excellent work-life balance and a supportive working environment, including:
Up to three days of home working per week
A 35-hour working week
Friday afternoons off
A collaborative team where you'll have real ownership and visibility
A healthy balance between project work and operational responsibilities
If you're looking for a role where you can combine hands-on infrastructure expertise with meaningful projects in a stable organisation that values innovation, collaboration and work-life balance, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
