A company at Tidel Park, Taramani, Chennai, is hiring an Associate Network Administrator. Full-time, on-site, INR 60,500 a month.
Qualifications and experience
A bachelor's degree is required, with most candidates on this team coming from electronics or computer science backgrounds. The hiring manager weighs a genuine, solid understanding of networking protocols and routing more heavily than the specific major on a transcript. This associate-level role requires 2 years of hands-on networking experience.
Skills required
Network configuration is central to the job, along with knowledge of routing and switching and hands-on firewall experience. Strong troubleshooting instincts round it out, since much of the daily work involves figuring out why something that used to work suddenly stops working.
A few skills beyond the core requirement would help an application:
- CCNA certification or equivalent coursework
- Some background running a network monitoring dashboard, whether that's Nagios, SolarWinds, or something else the team happened to use
- Basic scripting ability for automating routine checks
- Exposure to wireless network configuration and management
Day-to-day responsibilities
- Configure and maintain network hardware including switches, routers, and firewalls
- Troubleshoot connectivity issues reported by users or flagged through monitoring alerts
- Monitor network performance and security continuously for unusual activity
- Help plan capacity ahead of growth so links and hardware don't become bottlenecks
A recent issue on the team: two departments started seeing unusual broadcast traffic from each other, including print jobs that shouldn't have been visible across teams, and it traced back to a VLAN tag that had been misconfigured on a single switch port during a recent equipment swap. Fixing the tag resolved it, but finding it meant walking the VLAN assignments, switch by switch, until the mismatch showed up. That kind of methodical checking comes up regularly in network administration.
Pay and benefits
The role pays INR 60,500 a month. This listing on Naukri Mitra includes health insurance, paid time off, and provident fund contributions as standard. Since the position is on-site at Tidel Park, employees also have access to the on-site cafeteria and cab or commute support.
What the team is like
Network issues don't always wait for business hours, so occasional after-hours troubleshooting comes with the territory, though most days move at a manageable, steady pace. Associates on this team get exposure to the full network stack fairly early, rather than being confined to one narrow piece of it, which tends to build broad, useful experience quickly.
Applying
Send a resume that lists the specific networking equipment and environments you've worked with, including approximate scale. Mention any certifications you currently hold or are working toward directly. Shortlisted candidates will undergo a technical interview covering real troubleshooting scenarios before a final conversation about the start date.
