Network Administrator Duties & Responsibilities
A network administrator's exact responsibilities can depend on the industry, but some common duties include:
Provide technical oversight of a multi-site enterprise level WAN, including planning, implementation/expansion, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Prepare and maintain documentation of network configurations and cabling layouts.
Design, deploy, and administer the wireless infrastructure and supporting systems.
Recommend upgrades, patches, and new applications and equipment.
Train team members on new hardware or software.
Research and recommend approaches for system administration tasks.
Analyze and monitor server security and implement patches and fixes to address potential security holes.
Provide hardware and operating system support for the corporate and field computer systems environment, UNIX, Linux, Windows, and storage.
Education, Training & Certification
Those looking for a career as a network administrator should ideally have a college degree and be certified.
Education: Although you might be able to get a job with only a postsecondary certificate or associate degree, most employers prefer to hire job candidates who have a bachelor's degree in computer network and system administration or computer science. You might also be able to get a job in this field if you have a degree in computer or electrical engineering
Job Outlook
This profession is expected to grow by about 6% from 2016 through 2026, which is on the low end of average for all occupations. As firms continue to require speedier and more up-to-date technology, good network administrators should continue to be in demand. But the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics warns that this demand could be tempered by an increasing number of firms moving to cloud computing.
Work Environment
Network administrators can work in a variety of industries, from financial and banking firms to government offices and offices.
This job typically requires remaining seated for long stretches of time, but there's nonetheless a great deal of interaction with others working in other support and administration roles.
Work Schedule
This is basically a full-time profession. Networks must be up and running around the clock, and this can demand overtime. About 20% of network administrators work at least some hours of overtime each week, providing on-call and weekend support when necessary.
