Our Client is hiring for a reputed client where you'll help deliver complex IT infrastructure activities end-to-end-building, configuring, testing and supporting changes that keep mission-critical environments secure and reliable.

• Build and configure Windows infrastructure including Domain setup with GPOs and licensing configuration

• Design logging approaches, build assets/base servers and import/install required components
• Support penetration testing activities (prep, escort, cleanup) and produce a remediation plan
• Conduct user onboarding support and provide architectural/early capability assistance

What you'll bring:

• Strong experience in technical delivery across Windows-based platforms, configuration and environment build activities
