  • Good understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, Wi-Fi troubleshooting).
  • Ability to think independently, analyze issues, and recommend effective solutions.
  • Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and customer service skills.
  • Experience with IT documentation and process management.
