You enjoy solving complex networking challenges, take ownership of your work and know that reliability and security are never an afterthought. You'll probably recognise yourself in this: * You have several years of experience designing, implementing and maintaining enterprise network infrastructures; * You have hands-on experience configuring routers, switches, firewalls and wireless environments; * You're Cisco CCNA certified. A CCNP certification is considered a strong advantage; * Experience with Fortinet solutions and Fortinet NSE certification is highly desirable; * You have solid knowledge of LAN/WAN environments, VPNs, network segmentation, IDS/IPS and current cybersecurity standards; * You're familiar with technologies such as Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Kerio Control, Cisco Wireless, Ruckus Wireless and Pepwave/Peplink; * You communicate confidently in English and enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams; * Most importantly, you take ownership, think ahead and enjoy solving technical challenges. Working together at VBH You'll join a team of technical specialists, each bringing their own knowledge and experience. We work closely together, help each other and believe it's important that you feel at home in the team from day one. You'll work alongside experienced colleagues who will introduce you to our systems and way of working, while giving you the space to become increasingly independent and continue developing your skills. ## Description As an IT & Network Specialist at VBH, you'll configure, implement and troubleshoot the network infrastructure that keeps superyachts connected. From routers, switches and firewalls to wireless networks and secure connectivity, you'll make sure systems work reliably and securely, from initial setup through to commissioning. Working closely with our System Engineers and installation teams, you'll put your networking expertise into practice on complex IT projects where reliability is essential. The Reality Working in the superyacht industry comes with high expectations. Details matter. Security matters. Reliability matters. Our clients expect the same reliable digital experience at sea as they do on land. That means networks must perform reliably, systems must be secure and technical issues need to be identified and resolved quickly. Every project brings different technical challenges. You might be configuring network equipment, implementing security measures or testing a new infrastructure. On another day, you'll be on board during commissioning, investigating a network issue or working with colleagues to get a complex system running as it should. It's a role for someone who enjoys understanding how systems work, solving technical challenges and taking ownership of the result. Your role As an IT & Network Specialist, you'll be responsible for configuring, implementing and optimising the network infrastructure behind advanced IT environments on board some of the world's most extraordinary superyachts. You'll work with enterprise networking technologies, including routers, switches, firewalls and wireless systems. Together with System Engineers, Project Managers and installation specialists, you'll help translate technical requirements into reliable, secure and practical network solutions. From the initial configuration through installation, testing and commissioning, you'll play an important role in ensuring the infrastructure performs as expected. This is a hands-on networking and IT infrastructure role, focused on configuring, securing and troubleshooting systems rather than developing software. What you'll be doing Network infrastructure and configuration * Configure and implement network infrastructures for complex onboard IT environments. * Set up and optimise routers, switches, firewalls and wireless networks. * Work with LAN/WAN environments, VPNs and network segmentation to ensure reliable and secure connectivity. * Configure network equipment and ensure the different components work together correctly. * Contribute to network designs and technical solutions that meet the requirements of each project. Network security and reliability * Help implement secure network environments, including firewall configurations and access controls. * Work with technologies such as IDS/IPS and other network security measures. Identify potential network issues and investigate their root causes. * Troubleshoot connectivity, performance and configuration problems, finding practical solutions that keep systems running reliably. Installation, testing and commissioning * Support the implementation and integration of network infrastructures on board. * Test configurations and verify that systems perform as expected. * Support commissioning activities and resolve technical issues during installation and delivery. * Work closely with System Engineers, Project Managers and installation specialists to coordinate technical activities and resolve challenges. * Contribute to technical documentation and share knowledge with colleagues to improve the quality and consistency of our work.
