About Purple Rock IT Solutions

  • Purple Rock IT Solutions is a Dubai based IT infrastructure, networking, and systems integration company delivering enterprise IT solutions, managed services, and large scale event technology deployments across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
  • Projects range from corporate offices and managed IT environments to international events, exhibitions, sporting venues, and temporary network deployments.

Role Overview

  • We are looking for a hands on Network Engineer who is equally comfortable on a project site at 11pm during an event build up as they are configuring a FortiGate firewall for an MSP client the next morning.
  • This is a field heavy, deployment focused role and is not suitable for candidates seeking purely desk based, NOC only, or remote positions.
  • You will work across two environments: MSP clients and event & project deployments.

Mandatory Technical Requirements

  • Hands on experience configuring and deploying Fortinet FortiGate firewalls (VPN, firewall policies, NAT, SD WAN). Please specify which models you have worked with.
  • Hands on experience deploying and managing Ubiquiti UniFi wireless networks, including UniFi controllers, APs, and switching. Please specify your largest deployment.
  • Confirmed, documentable event or temporary network deployment experience.
  • Currently based in the UAE on a valid visa with the right to work.

Network Infrastructure

  • Configure, deploy, and maintain LAN, WAN, and wireless network infrastructure.
  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot switches, routers, firewalls, access points, and related network services.
  • Manage routing, switching, firewall, VPN, and wireless environments across MSP client sites.
  • Perform firmware upgrades, security updates, preventive maintenance, and optimisation activities.

Event Network Support

  • Deploy and manage enterprise wireless and wired networks for large scale events (500–20,000+ users), including exhibitions, sporting events, conferences, and activations.
  • Configure high density UniFi or equivalent wireless deployments with proper VLAN segmentation and guest isolation.
  • Set up bonded cellular and SD WAN uplinks using Peplink or equivalent for event connectivity and failover.
  • Monitor bandwidth utilisation and network performance during live events.
  • Provide on site support during build up, live operations, and de rig — including evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
  • Troubleshoot network issues calmly and effectively under time critical, high visibility conditions.

Troubleshooting & MSP Support

  • Diagnose and resolve network connectivity, performance, and security issues for MSP clients.
  • Perform root cause analysis for recurring incidents and implement permanent corrective actions.
  • Support MSP clients through remote and on site troubleshooting.
  • Participate in escalation support for critical incidents and service outages.

Project Delivery

  • Support network implementation, migration, expansion, and infrastructure upgrade projects.
  • Participate in site surveys, wireless heatmap surveys (Ekahau or equivalent), and solution deployment.
  • Work closely with project managers, technical teams, and vendors.

Documentation

  • Create and maintain network diagrams using Microsoft Visio.
  • Document configurations, IP schemes, topology diagrams, and SOPs.
  • Prepare technical reports and change records.

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of experience in network deployment and support.
  • Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in IT, Networking, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Strong understanding of TCP/IP, subnetting, routing, switching, VLANs, STP, DHCP, DNS, NAT, and VPN.
  • Proven ability to work independently under pressure with minimal supervision.
  • Genuine willingness to work evenings, weekends, and public holidays for event and project work.
  • Valid UAE residence or employment visa — no relocation or visa sponsorship for overseas candidates.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

  • Fortinet NSE / FCP certification.
  • Experience with Cisco/Meraki, Aruba, Peplink, Sophos, or Ruijie solutions.
  • Wireless heatmap survey experience using Ekahau or NetSpot.
  • Experience in MSP environments managing multiple clients simultaneously.
  • Event network deployment experience at scale (500+ users).
  • CCNA/CCNP, Ubiquiti UEWA, or Peplink certifications are an advantage.
