[Gareth Eason]

	   Hi,

	HEAnet, my benevolent employer, are looking to hire two (2) Network Engineer
type persons. Full information is available at http://heanet.ie/about/Careers
(now in PDF format.)

	For those averse to clicking things, I've included the job spec for the
Network Engineer role below. Both roles are similar and have the expectation
of requiring technical candidates with some good networking experience and a
passion for learning and experiencing a lot more :)

	If anyone has any questions, either mail careers at heanet.ie or drop a mail to
me if it's related to technical aspects of the job.

	Best regards,
	-->Gar
