Principal Platform Engineer (Contract)

Principal Platform Engineer (Contract)

Yeovil | Hybrid (3-5 days on-site) | Defence Programme

3-4 days on-site minimum, but extended days can be completed to reduce days worked

I'm currently supporting a major defence client on a long-term infrastructure transformation programme and am looking to speak with experienced Platform / Infrastructure Engineers with strong VMware expertise.

This role is centred around designing and delivering secure enterprise platforms.

We're looking for experience with:

• VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)
• VMware (vSphere, vSAN, NSX)
• Windows & Linux (RHEL)
• Enterprise virtualisation
• Software Defined Data Centres
• Infrastructure automation (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible or Terraform)
• Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, Firewalls)
• Secure enterprise or defence environments

You'll be joining a team responsible for designing, building and modernising enterprise infrastructure, working across virtualisation, networking, storage and automation.

If you've led VMware platform upgrades, infrastructure migrations or large-scale enterprise platform projects, I'd be keen to have a confidential chat.

Please apply or message me directly to discuss further.
