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.
The role
You prevent disruptions instead of just solving them. Independently manage, improve, and look ahead at our server environment, on Bonaire. Welcome to the Family.
At Van der Valk Plaza Resort Bonaire, you ensure the peace behind the scenes, with a server environment that remains reliable and secure, even on the busiest days of the season. Our resort is growing rapidly and professionalizing fully: from reservations and cash registers to energy management and guest applications, everything runs on our own infrastructure. Driven by our mission to create a surprising total experience for both our guests and our employees, and our vision of healthy, sustainable growth, IT plays a key role in continuity, security, and a future-proof organization. That is why we are looking for an experienced System Administrator who independently manages, improves, and looks ahead. Our core values of hospitality, teamwork, innovation, and sustainable entrepreneurship form the foundation of our DNA: Welcome to the Family.
What you'll do
As a System Administrator, you are responsible for our server environment, storage, backups, and the Microsoft cloud environment. You prevent disruptions instead of just solving them. You are the second line for IT Support and work closely with network management, suppliers, and the IT teams in the Netherlands.
Managing and maintaining our virtualization environment, servers, and storage;
Managing Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, including security and access rights;
Monitoring, testing, and restoring backups;
Implementing updates and patches in a timely manner, with a plan for when things go wrong;
Monitoring systems and resolving disruptions and recurring problems, down to the root cause;
Documenting the environment, so that a colleague can take over your work;
Thinking along about IT security, continuity, and improvements.
WHAT EXACTLY WILL YOU BE DOING?
Functie-eisen
WHY DOES THIS JOB FIT YOU?
You get energy from systems that just work and from the peace of mind that comes with knowing why they work. You have years of experience in independently managing a server environment. You think in terms of causes, work in a structured manner, and test a change before it goes live. You work in a small-scale team with a lot of independence and see the direct result of your work.
