Confusing job description - this is basically a Network Manager role yet there is already a Network Manager in post?

[Ravi_GreatFind]

This is a Network Engineer role that reports directly to the Network Manager. Senior Technicians or school engineers would find this an excellent opportunity for career advancement. We would consider candidates with this background for the role.

I hope this helps, and I am happy to discuss further.
