Like many other IT fields, we are seeing the role of a Network Engineer evolve and take on a more technical skillset. The fundamentals of traditional Networking are still essential and curtail with the addition of cloud or automation and in some cases both.<\/p>\n
Larger organisations operating on an enterprise scale are utilising cloud network capabilities. This skill set ranges from basic Cloud Network Support troubleshooting issues, to architecting new Cloud Network solutions on a global scale. It\u2019s no surprise that AWS and Azure are the favoured cloud providers amongst many organisations; however, many companies are now opting to not just choose one, but create a multi-cloud environment, having a primary and secondary cloud provider.<\/p>\n
This skill set is growing in demand for many organisations, offing the opportunity for Network Engineers<\/a> to progress and develop their skill set and career.<\/p>\n Due to the growing demand, there has been an increase in the number of candidates looking to upskill in their spare time and complete AWS and Azure<\/a> training courses. That being said, CCNA and CCNP remain the preferred qualifications for Network Engineers in Ireland, with a cloud qualification being a bonus.<\/p>\n Efficient and repeatable processes are now high on the agenda for many organisations. As this has started to creep more and more into Network Engineering for deployments to Data centres<\/a> and automation tool building, automation<\/a> is starting to become a desirable skill set for many organisations, in particular large SAAS providers. The typical skillset is a combination of traditional Network Engineering paired with strong automation or scripting, ideally with Python<\/a> and Ansible. However, Bash and PowerShell are acceptable in some cases.<\/p>\n With new and unique positions arising in the market for Network Engineers, we are seeing a new generation of Engineers, pushing the boundaries and setting a new standard of Networking across Ireland. This is an exciting time to build a career in this field. Historically, many candidates opted to switch to other fields such as Systems Admin<\/a>, as Network presented limited career progression opportunities. Now with new career avenues available, a career path in Networking has never been more attractive.<\/p>\n Salaries have remained balanced for traditional Network Engineers, however, those with an additional technical layer (Automation or Cloud experience) will come with an additional cost, similar to any other IT specialism.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″ custom_padding=”3px|||||”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”5px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.2″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ link_font=”|600|||on||||” link_text_color=”#0c27d6″ header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#c4062f” header_font_size=”20px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#c3212e” header_2_font_size=”22px” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”15px” header_3_line_height=”1.6em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”justified” width=”90%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”left” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_line_height_tablet=”” header_2_line_height_phone=”1.4em” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” border_color_all=”#344c62″ border_color_bottom=”#c3212e” border_style_bottom=”solid” […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":86611,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"IT Support Engineer - IT Salary Survey Ireland September 2022","_seopress_titles_desc":"IT Support roles have seen growth in the financial and insurance sectors resulting from the instability of some markets as seen with cryptocurrency.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" Here at Archer, we have reopened our doors and a small portion of us have returned to the office. Having returned to the office, I\u2019ve found it\u2019s a good time to reflect on the difference between working in the office and working from home. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Undoubtedly, there have been many challenges with working from home. From issues with WiFi and technology to finding a quiet place to work. From mobile coverage and communication to being able to switch on or off, as well as missing the buzz of the office. All of these are challenges that many of us have had to adapt to and overcome. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n With that being said, I've taken the time to think about some of the great things about working from home. I\u2019ve come up with a list of 3 great things about working from home that I think people could incorporate into their new routines in the office.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For me, number one on the list was choosing when or if I was interrupted. It gave me a little bit more headspace as I was able to get on with things that maybe I would have been distracted by previously. Number two is the improved communication within our teams. I have found that the quality of interactions between our teams has improved tremendously. It\u2019s been great taking the time to interact and understand what\u2019s going on in their worlds. Last but not least on my list is having more quality time with the family. Being able to sit down and have lunch with them has given us some extra time to interact and engage with each other. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n So, since we're back in the office, we're looking at how can we bring in some of the good things about working from home into the office and what they might be. I'd be really interested in hearing what other people are finding works well for them outside the office, and working from home and what they'd like to be able to bring back into the office when the time comes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ll be welcoming any thoughts or comments. Thanks. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Sam Perrin<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 01 469 8512<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86673"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86673"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86673\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86717,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86673\/revisions\/86717"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}For more information on the current IT job market and the latest salary bands, please download our\u00a0IT\u00a0<\/span>Salary Survey here.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n
