A central government client is looking for an experienced Virtualisation Engineer to join an established infrastructure team in Nottingham. This is a long‑standing programme so it’s a genuinely stable, long‑term contract with a strong likelihood of extension.

You will be project-focused, building and maintaining the virtualisation estate, with some BAU and technical support as required. You need to be hands‑on and confident owning the platform end to end.

  • Windows Server 2012 (R2), 2016 and 2019
  • HPE Servers and data centre management
  • Active Directory and core networking
  • Comfortable joining an on‑call rota (1 week in 4)

Desirable

  • SCCM, Synergy

Essential — please read:

  • Active SC Clearance. We need it current and transferable — unfortunately, recently lapsed clearance won’t work for this one.
  • Able to work on site in Nottingham 5 days a week.

Start date ideally early July (some flex to allow SC transfer). Contract initially to 31 March 2027.
