Are you looking for an exciting new opportunity?

Join a specialist maritime technology business providing dependable coverage and connectivity in remote places and at critical times, on land and at sea. Through its own ground-based infrastructure and managed services, it connects customers to some of the world’s most reliable satellite networks.

The organization is currently on the lookout for a Network Engineer to join its team in Piraeus on a permanent basis. The ideal candidate will assess vessel network topologies, deliver internal networking solutions, manage complex escalated customer tickets, and contribute to customer-facing meetings alongside the sales team. This is a technical support role with customer engagement built in, not a pre-sales position.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity and apply today!


Responsibilities:

  • Assessing network topology on vessels and evaluating appropriate internal solutions
  • Delivering and maintaining two internal networking solutions - a MikroTik environment and an in-house Ubuntu-based platform
  • Taking ownership of complex, escalated customer tickets and resolving them directly via phone and written communication
  • Joining sales meetings with customers to provide technical input and support
  • Producing clear, accurate written communications for customers and internal stakeholders
  • Contributing to ongoing improvement of support processes and solution delivery


Skills/Must Have:

  • Solid networking fundamentals: subnetting, firewall rules, and NAT implementation
  • Proven experience handling complex, escalated customer support tickets in a technical environment
  • Confident and composed verbal communication skills - must be comfortable resolving issues with demanding or frustrated customers on the phone
  • Clear and professional written communication skills in English
  • Support engineering background - candidates from a pure pre-sales background are not suitable for this role


Desirable Skills:

  • Hands-on MikroTik experience
  • Basic familiarity with Ubuntu-based network environments
  • Exposure to maritime or vessel network topology


Benefits:

  • Flexible working hours - choice of 9am to 5pm or 10am to 6pm
  • Minimal on-call commitment - approximately three instances in the past year for high-profile implementations only
  • Travel limited to Greece for training purposes - no international travel
  • Work from home considered on a case-by-case basis
  • Permanent role within a specialist maritime technology business in Piraeus


Salary:

  • €1,800 - €2,000 net per month
