The most important requirements are strong Windows Server experience and excellent troubleshooting ability. You should be confident investigating issues properly, using tools such as event logs, understanding areas such as Active Directory, Group Policy, replication, certificates and wider infrastructure dependencies.

You do not need to have worked with every technology listed below, but experience across any of the following would be useful:

• VMware, Hyper-V or Azure Local
• Citrix
• SCCM / MECM
• Exchange
• Thycotic
