Administer
Overview
In the digital age, managing IT or telecommunications networks—essential for a company’s smooth operation—means designing, deploying, administering, and monitoring the network. The administrator must be responsive in the event of an incident and able to communicate with employees/clients to understand and resolve their issues. They operate complex equipment (routers, switches, etc.) and implement connections (fiber optics, cables, or wireless). They must stay up to date with developments in the field and security by self-training. Typically working within often international teams, they must integrate into a group, define procedures to ensure the proper functioning of the network, and document their work. They also supervise systems and networks to prevent any malfunction or cyberattack.
