Contract Length: 12-months (high chance of extension)
Location: Ultimo/WFH Flex

We are looking for a senior, hands-on Infrastructure Engineer with broad experience across Windows Server, Active Directory, VMware and enterprise infrastructure environments.

This role will suit someone who has worked across a broad technology stack, ideally within a smaller or leaner infrastructure team where they have been responsible for multiple platforms rather than working in a highly siloed environment.

You'll be joining a complex enterprise environment with a strong mix of BAU support, infrastructure improvement, security remediation and project work.

The Role

You'll be responsible for supporting, administering and improving core server and virtualisation infrastructure, with a particular focus on Windows Server, Active Directory, VMware and infrastructure security.

The role is expected to be approximately 50% BAU and 50% project work, with close collaboration across Architecture, Cyber Security and wider technology teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Administering and supporting enterprise Windows Server environments
• Managing Active Directory, Domain Controllers, DNS, DHCP and Group Policy
• Managing VMware vSphere / vCenter environments
• Performing ESXi upgrades, patching and lifecycle activities
• Supporting VMware hardening and security remediation initiatives
• Remediating infrastructure vulnerabilities, including findings from security assessments and penetration testing
• Managing Windows Server patching through Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM/SCCM)
• Supporting and administering Linux environments, including command-line troubleshooting and remediation
• Supporting Hyper-V environments and workload migration activities
• Troubleshooting complex infrastructure, virtualisation and server-related issues
• Managing infrastructure changes through structured ITIL / change management processes
• Working closely with Cyber Security, Architecture and project teams
• Contributing to infrastructure design, documentation, implementation and continuous improvement
• Supporting project delivery across infrastructure upgrades, migrations, remediation and platform improvement initiatives

About You

You will bring strong hands-on experience across:

• Windows Server 2016, 2019 and 2022
• Active Directory Domain Services
• Domain Controller administration
• DNS, DHCP and Group Policy
• VMware vSphere / vCenter 7+
• ESXi administration, upgrades and patching
• MECM / SCCM for Windows Server patching
• Infrastructure security, hardening and vulnerability remediation
• Enterprise infrastructure troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
• ITIL-aligned change management

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate experience across:

• VMware hardening and remediation
• Vulnerability remediation following security assessments or penetration testing
• Linux command-line administration
• Hyper-V administration and/or VMware to Hyper-V migration
• Leading or owning infrastructure projects and major changes
• Working within complex enterprise environments
• Producing clear technical documentation, implementation plans and rollback plans

Experience in any of the following would also be highly regarded:

• Linux - RHEL and/or Ubuntu
• Microsoft Hyper-V
• Citrix, including Citrix Cloud / DaaS
• Cisco UCS and/or HyperFlex
• Server hardware and datacentre infrastructure

Beyond the technology, you'll be someone who communicates clearly, approaches problems analytically and is comfortable taking ownership of infrastructure changes in a complex enterprise environment.

You'll ideally have a stable employment history and strong experience working across both BAU and project delivery.

This role will suit an experienced Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys being technically hands-on, working across a broad technology stack and contributing to meaningful infrastructure, security and transformation initiatives.
