Infrastructure engineering where the data centre is down the corridor, not in another country's cloud region.
You would be the infrastructure-as-a-service engineer for a multinational defence hosting service in The Hague, Netherlands — virtualisation, storage, backup and the physical data centre that carries them, across the whole life of the service.
What you would be doing
- Day-to-day operation and maintenance of the hosting services
- Supporting the senior technicians, engineers and service delivery managers across design, engineering, implementation, operation and integration
- Administering and maintaining the virtual infrastructure, and system administration on the platforms you are given
- Installing, managing and running the common user services carried over the networks
- Walking the data centre: daily physical checks of hardware, replacing failing parts before they take something with them
- Keeping the change process honest — topology diagrams and the configuration database updated whenever kit goes in or comes out
- Troubleshooting in the data centre, and keeping a proper record of the work
- Advising on the whole life of the capabilities and services, and watching the service levels closely
- Writing the operating procedures and instructions the service runs on
What you would bring
- An MSc in a related subject with five years of related experience, or a BSc with seven
- Real depth in data-centre concepts, technologies and standards: servers, storage, virtualisation, and backup and restore of virtual environments
- Hands-on data-centre management on VMware vSphere 7 or later, with blade and rack-mount servers; knowledge of VMware Cloud Foundation
- SAN and NAS fundamentals — TCP/IP, Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI, WWN, LIFs — against SAN, unified and NAS storage
- Installing, monitoring and maintaining data-centre equipment, including cabling and the physical infrastructure around it
- Active Directory, Windows Server and Red Hat Linux
- IT asset and configuration management, and sound ITIL practice
- Automation with tools such as VMware Aria or Ansible
- Sound practical knowledge of IT security
- Documentation you would not mind someone else inheriting, and clear English
Nice to have
- Virtualisation certification such as VCP, a data-centre certification, or CompTIA Server+, Network+ or CCNA
- Experience inside a service-provisioning organisation
Why this one is worth a look
It is a broad estate — hypervisor, storage fabric and the physical hall — rather than one narrow slice of it, and the engineer who understands all three is the one everybody calls.
