DV Infrastructure Engineer/Architect - £600-£700 per day (Outside IR35) -Hybrid (South-West) Role Summary Our Client is looking for a DV Infrastructure Engineer to join their Engineering team on a contract basis. This role will initially be signed up for 3 months, with potential opportunities for extension. Due to the critical nature of the opportunity, you must be available to start within 2 weeks and hold active DV Clearance.

What you'll be doing

• Build, configure and support a secure infrastructure environment (hands‑on delivery, not just design).
• Stand up and configure lab environments for testing, validation and change implementation.
• Deliver and support VMware environments (incl. VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) where applicable).
• Support core Microsoft services including Active Directory and associated back‑office platforms.
• Operate and maintain enterprise tooling such as SCOM and SCCM (monitoring, management, patching/packaging where relevant).
• Work into security‑enforced infrastructure: hardening, compliance‑driven configuration, and secure ops.
• Interface with network and security components (firewalls, routing/switching, segmentation, policy enforcement) to ensure a resilient end‑to‑end service.

Key technologies (what we want to see)

• VMware (strong depth), ideally including VCF;
• Microsoft Active Directory + Windows platform + general Microsoft back‑office applications.
• SCOM / SCCM.
• Broad infrastructure/security awareness: firewalls, networking fundamentals, security enforcement / hardening.
• HashiCorp tooling (e.g., Vault/Terraform) desirable.
• IdAM / identity concepts and PKI (certificates, trust chains, secure access patterns) desirable.
