Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • A gross monthly salary between USD 3,250 and USD 4,250 based on a full-time employment of 40 hours, tailored to your relevant work experience and network knowledge;

The role

A network that you know down to the very last port: rooms, villas, restaurants, and a marina on one property. You manage it independently and see immediate results. Welcome to the Family.

What you'll do

At Van der Valk Plaza Resort Bonaire, you manage the network of a resort that operates day and night: offices, restaurants, hundreds of guest rooms, villas, and a marina. Our resort is growing rapidly and is undergoing full professionalization. Driven by our mission to create a surprising total experience for both our guests and our employees, and our vision of healthy, sustainable growth, a network that always works is indispensable. Wi-Fi, cash registers, telephony, television, door locks, and air conditioning all run through it, so a guest notices a malfunction immediately. Therefore, we are looking for an experienced Network Administrator who keeps the network stable and expands it further. You are a reliable link within our organization, where our core values of hospitality, teamwork, innovation, and sustainable entrepreneurship form the foundation of our DNA: Welcome to the Family.

As a Network Administrator, you are responsible for our switches, firewalls, Wi-Fi, and the connections between the buildings on the property. You monitor the network, resolve malfunctions, and implement changes in a controlled manner. You are the second line for IT Support and work closely with system administration, suppliers, and the IT teams in the Netherlands.

You are responsible for, among other things:

  • Managing and maintaining switches, routers, firewalls, and the Wi-Fi network;

  • Configuring and maintaining VLANs, routing, and network segmentation;

  • Monitoring the network and resolving malfunctions and recurring problems, down to the root cause;

  • Preparing, implementing, and ensuring the rollback capability of changes, outside of the resort's busy hours;

  • Securing the network, including the guest network and remote access;

  • Documenting the network environment and the cabling;

  • Coordinating with internet providers, installers, and suppliers.

WHY DOES THIS JOB FIT YOU?

Functie-eisen

You get energy from a network that you know down to the very last port. You measure first, modify afterwards, and always have a way back. You work in a small-scale team with a lot of independence and see the direct result of your work.

WHY WE SHINE AT VAN DER VALK

  • 20% discount on day passes, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as on our participations such as Bonaire Yacht Charters, Macho Scooters, Trento, and all excursions via the Sea & Sense Experience shop;

  • Support in finding suitable housing on Bonaire;

  • Full support with your immigration papers, so that you can start without worries;

  • A daily fresh staff lunch in our employee canteen;

  • Room to develop yourself within an entrepreneurial family business with plenty of personal input.
