We are seeking a Senior VMware Engineer to support a large enterprise virtual infrastructure environment in the North West.

This role is focused on modern VMware platform engineering rather than 3rd line support. The successful contractor will work across VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), NSX-T and enterprise vSphere environments, supporting infrastructure modernisation and optimisation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deploy and support VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environments
• Configure and manage NSX-T (Edge nodes, T0/VRF, DFW, routing)
• Administer and optimise vSphere/ESXi clusters
• Support vSAN and storage integration
• VM life cycle management (Linux & Windows)
• Performance tuning and capacity planning
• Advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis
• Work alongside infrastructure, security and networking teams

Required Experience:

• Strong enterprise VMware engineering background (5+ years)
• Hands-on VMware Cloud Foundation experience
• Proven NSX-T implementation and configuration experience
• vSphere/ESXi cluster design and support
• Automation skills (PowerCLI, PowerShell, Ansible or similar)
• Experience in large, complex environments

Environment:

Enterprise-scale, multi-tenant infrastructure supporting critical systems.

This is ideally 2 days onsite in the North West, with some flexibility depending on location.

If you are a hands-on VMware platform engineer with strong NSX-T experience and are available for a new contract, please apply with your CV.
