Headline:
Build and run secure VMware platforms powering critical national-level programmes.
The opportunity:
This role sits at the heart of a major secure transformation programme, strengthening high-assurance platforms relied on across sensitive environments. You will join a delivery-focused team working on complex, mission-critical systems where reliability, resilience and technical depth matter.

Support platform stability, performance and ongoing capability uplift.

What you'll bring:
Must-have qualifications and experience:


Active DV clearance (essential; without this you cannot perform the role).
Demonstrable experience as a VMware infrastructure/platform engineer.
Hands-on capability in vSphere, ESXi, NSX and vSAN.
Strong troubleshooting ability within secure or highly regulated environments.
Comfort working in fast-moving, complex and occasionally ambiguous delivery settings.
A proactive, accountable approach - someone who leads their own work, drives progress and delivers consistently.

Final note:
No sponsorship or relocation offered.
