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 (6-12 months beyond March 2027).

You’ll be project-focused, building and maintaining the virtualisation estate, with some BAU and technical support as required. You’ll 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.

The detail: Inside IR35. Start date ideally early July (some flex to allow SC transfer). Contract initially to 31 March 2027.
