🚨 Infrastructure / Data Centre Engineer – VMware & SAN Specialist 🚨

Contract - 6 Months

Leeds/Hybrid

£400 P/D

We’re looking for a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer with deep VMware and storage expertise to join a high-performing data centre engineering environment.

This is not a support desk role — we need someone who genuinely understands enterprise infrastructure, enjoys troubleshooting complex environments, and takes ownership of problems through to resolution.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

• Testing and validating infrastructure solutions in a controlled lab environment before production deployment

• Building, configuring and managing VMware environments across vSphere, ESXi and vCenter

• Working extensively with vMotion, DRS, HA, performance optimisation and resource management

• Managing storage and SAN infrastructure including multipathing, connectivity validation, access control and performance troubleshooting

• Performing pre-production testing of server and infrastructure changes

• Documenting test outcomes, identifying issues and proposing practical solutions

• Collaborating closely with internal Data Centre Engineering teams to support successful delivery

✅ Skills & Experience Required

• Strong infrastructure or data centre engineering background

• Deep hands-on VMware expertise — vSphere, ESXi, vCenter, vMotion, DRS, HA and enterprise resource management

• Strong storage/SAN experience including SMB/NFS, multipathing and storage performance troubleshooting

• Experience with hardware management consoles such as Dell iDRAC, HP iLO and/or Lenovo XClarity

• Good networking fundamentals with the ability to troubleshoot infrastructure-layer connectivity issues

• Windows Server 2016 / 2019 / 2022 experience

• Strong troubleshooting mindset — someone who takes ownership and works problems through independently

• Experience within lab, pre-production or test environments would be highly advantageous
