Senior System Administrator

The Antoni van Leeuwenhoek has great ambitions in the field of ICT and we need you to realize them! We offer you a place where you will work in a team of technical administrators to ensure the optimal functioning of the central IT infrastructure (servers, storage, network). Furthermore, you will be doing this within the most renowned hospital in the field of cancer: the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.

At the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, we work with more than 3200 employees on the best oncological care and innovative research. Robust and scalable infrastructure plays a central role in this.

Do you want to contribute to groundbreaking care and research with advanced IT solutions? The Antoni van Leeuwenhoek is looking for a Senior System Administrator who will play a key role in the digital transformation of oncological care and research. As a Senior System Administrator, you will contribute directly to our mission: "A cure for every cancer and excellent care for every patient."

We work continuously on ICT projects with an innovative character. On the one hand, we are a healthcare institution focused on patients with cancer, but in addition, we also serve a renowned research institute whose goal is to ensure cancer is no longer a fatal disease. To this end, we manage two data centers and a complex application landscape. The institute possesses state-of-the-art medical equipment for which the team provides support, thereby contributing to groundbreaking research. We work incredibly hard on optimizing our processes, so that no challenge regarding information security, management, or continuity is too great for us. We need your reinforcement for all these ambitions!

As a system administrator at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, you are responsible for maintaining various servers, physically or within our Software Defined Datacenter (this will soon be replaced by a VCF environment), virtual desktops, Active Directory, and Exchange in a Windows and Linux environment. In addition to managing these environments, you are responsible for initiating, setting up, and (having) executing innovative and improvement projects.

This is a dual role in which you work 50% for the radiotherapy (RT) cluster and 50% for the central ICT department, Informatization & Automation (I&A). Your first point of contact (direct supervisor) falls within the I&A cluster.

• You guide colleagues both within and outside our team, involve them in your ideas and plans, and are able to translate these into concrete action plans and designs.

• This applies to the systems and infrastructure, but also to the optimization of the (management) processes.

• You have an advisory role towards your own departments, I&A and RT, and of course towards our clients at all levels of the organization. This concerns healthcare providers, researchers, and support staff.

• Our business-critical systems are also supported outside of our business hours. Therefore, it may be that you are called in outside of office hours to resolve malfunctions. Within RT, a roster is used for clinical support during office hours; for this position, participating in this is a requirement. For this reason, participation in clinical services is a fixed part of the position.

• Furthermore, within radiotherapy, there is close cooperation with developers of new techniques. We work within a DevOps structure with these teams.

We are looking for a colleague who gets energy from technical challenges and is eager to commit to healthcare. You recognize yourself in the following:

• You possess knowledge at least at HBO level (via diploma or experience) in the field of Computer Science.

• You have work experience within similar large or complex IT environments or have the ambition to acquire this knowledge and experience.

• You have knowledge and experience of/with VMware (VDI, SDDC and VCF, Workspace One), Exchange, Active Directory, Microsoft 365/Azure, and system administration in a Windows Server environment.

• Even if you only know part of these technologies but are eager to learn: call us!

• You have (basic) knowledge of networks (wired and Wifi), information security, and security.

• You are MCSE and VCF certified, or partially so, and are willing to work towards this.

• You have experience in independently leading and executing ICT projects and guiding and managing colleagues and external parties.

• You can set priorities well, you have in-depth knowledge of ITIL and Agile, and you are someone who likes to tackle things and feels responsible.

• You are a true bridge builder and enjoy actively working and thinking along with the further expansion of the collaboration between RT and I&A.

The basis for your terms of employment is in accordance with the Cao Ziekenhuizen (Collective Labour Agreement for Hospitals). You will receive from us:

• A one-year contract for 36 hours per week, with a view to a permanent contract. 

• A gross monthly salary between € 3,903.00 and € 5,503.00 based on a 36-hour work week, corresponding to FWG 55 and depending on your experience.

• 144 vacation hours and 57 hours of Personal Life Phase Budget, based on full-time employment.

• Annual 8.33% holiday allowance and a fixed year-end bonus of 8.33%.

• A travel allowance of € 0.23 per km.

• Free parking at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, but with our bicycle scheme and discounts on public transport, we also make it attractive for you to leave the car behind.

• A great opportunity in a specialized hospital where you can also continue to learn and grow if you wish: the AVL Academy offers innovative and inspiring education in the fields of oncological expertise, skills, and personal development.

• Opportunity to exercise at our Fit Boutiqs.

• An active staff association and Young AVL: associations that organize sporting, cultural, and creative activities and events.

• An employer contribution of 50% towards your pension at Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn and collective discounts with health insurers IZZ, Zorg en Zekerheid, and Zilveren Kruis.
