IT Infrastructure and Systems Administration Intern / OJT

Learn how a service is configured, checked and recovered in an isolated lab. You will practise reading logs and documenting commands so a reviewer can understand what you tried and why.

What you will practise

• Build a simple lab service and record its configuration and health checks.
• Run a guided backup and restoration exercise using practice data and note any missing steps.

What you will learn

• Learn how configuration, access, monitoring, and recovery work together to keep an application available.
• Document your work, respond to feedback, and explain what is ready for review and what still needs help.

What you should bring

• Basic command-line use, an interest in Linux and networking, and willingness to document each change.
• Willingness to ask questions, keep clear notes, and revise work after feedback. Professional experience is not required.

Examples of work in this role

• A lab setup guide with a repeatable service check.
• A troubleshooting or restore log that includes the observed result and questions for review.

Working arrangements

• Keep progress, questions, and blockers visible through the agreed communication channels.
• Availability, working hours, equipment needs, and any location eligibility requirements will be discussed during recruitment.
• Training tasks require review. Supervision, school requirements, training hours, start date, and any allowance must be agreed before the placement begins.
• Live systems, publishing, and client commitments require authorisation. Begin with practice environments or reviewed drafts appropriate to the task.

What to include in your application

• Use the application form and include your CV, availability, and a short explanation of why this work interests you.
• Include a school or personal project where possible. If this is a school OJT placement, state your course, required hours, intended dates, and any school documentation requirements.
• Include a lab exercise or setup note. Remove credentials, access tokens and private system details from anything you share.
• Share only work you have permission to disclose. A redacted sample or a clear explanation is fine when client work is confidential.
