The role

I'm currently working with a leading global IT services and technology consultancy on an exciting Infrastructure Engineer opportunity, supporting a highly secure UK public sector organisation operating within the national security sector.

The organisation is looking for a strong all-round Infrastructure Engineer with solid foundations across enterprise infrastructure and systems engineering.

You'll be working across a varied technology environment, covering virtualisation, Windows and Linux infrastructure, networking, storage, backup and disaster recovery. Alongside these traditional infrastructure technologies, there is also an interest in engineers who bring exposure to modern cloud platforms, automation, containerisation and Infrastructure as Code.

This isn't a role where you need to tick every technology box. The priority is finding someone with strong infrastructure fundamentals, good technical breadth and depth, and the ability to work across different areas of an enterprise environment.

What you'll do

VMware vSphere, VCF, vSAN, SRM and Aria.
VMware platform administration and engineering.
Azure and cloud infrastructure.
NSX, Palo Alto and Fortinet.
Dell switching, BGP and routing.
Firewall management and network infrastructure.
Windows Server, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and Group Policy.
PKI, clustering, Remote Desktop Services and SQL infrastructure.
Ubuntu and Linux administration, repository management and hardening.
Ansible / AWX and Puppet.
PowerShell, PowerCLI and Infrastructure as Code.
Omnissa Horizon and Workspace ONE.
MECM / SCCM and gold image management.
Dell PowerScale and Superna Eyeglass.
Veeam and enterprise backup solutions.
Disaster recovery, resilience and recovery planning.
