    Share Now

    Technology has become an integral part of businesses and homes. This reliance is only going to increase with the advancements in IoT and other cloud technologies.

    To manage the configuration and installation of network devices, enterprises require network engineers.

    Network engineers are generally responsible for technical support and troubleshooting depending on the job profile.

    If you are searching for entry-level network jobs in Singapore, the following steps can be useful in grabbing the right opportunity.

    1. Complete your education

    While there is no specific educational requirement to become a network engineer, companies prefer freshers who have a bachelor's degree in any of the following:

    • Computer Science
    • Information Systems
    • Computer Engineering and other related fields

    Master's in Business Administration (MBA) is mostly preferred for senior network jobs.

    1. Get familiar with the basics

    Usually companies do not expect great proficiency in networking skills especially when you are just starting out. However, you should have a strong grasp of networking concepts to land a good job.

    Some of these concepts include:

    • Network Security
    • IP Addresses
    • Application Protocols
    • Firewalls
    • Transmission Modes
    • OSI Model
    • Hubs/Router/Switches
    • Topologies
    • LANs/WANs

    Solid fundamentals could land you a high-paying network engineer job in Singapore.

    According to Payscale, the average salary of an entry-level network engineer in Singapore is S$ 29,556 per annum. It includes overtime pay, bonus, and tips.

    As you gain experience, the salary will increase. On average, a network engineer can earn S$ 49,297 in Singapore. The pay varies with years of experience, education, and skills.

    If everything goes well during the initial rounds of interview, you should know how to negotiate your salary when that part arrives.

    1. Identify your path

    Before searching for network engineer jobs, you should identify your career path based on the technology, company, and industry you are interested in.

    As a graduate, you may find the following network engineer jobs for freshers in Singapore:

    • Network Technician
    • Network Analyst
    • Network Solutions Architect
    • Network Administrator
    • Network Specialist
    1. Obtain relevant certifications

    As a fresher, you may or may not have on-the-job training experience. This is where IT certifications and training courses could enhance your knowledge on:

    • Programming essentials
    • Network administration
    • Information security
    • Operating systems

    Many companies such as Red Hat, VMware, CompTIA, Citrix, Cisco, and Microsoft offer network engineer courses and certifications.

    Some of them include:

    • CompTIA A+ Certification
    • Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT)
    • Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Core Infrastructure
    • Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
    • Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA)
    1. Gain hands-on experience

    Managing active network systems is very complex. This is why most companies prefer experienced candidates for network jobs.

    Getting hands-on experience will better your prospects of securing a network engineer job as a fresher in Singapore.

    The best way to do that is through internships and entry-level jobs. If you know a network engineer, you can learn by assisting them on the site. Besides, you should keep yourself updated with the latest trends through blogs, journals, research papers, books, and training sessions given by experts.

    1. Begin your hunt for network jobs

    Once you complete your educational requirements, obtain certifications, and determine your career path, you can start searching for network jobs in Singapore.
