Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure Engineer – VMware Horizon / VDI

Manchester | £70,000–£80,000 + Bonus & Benefits

Infrastructure Engineer required by an established innovative and cutting-edge technology organisation delivering highly secure infrastructure and services into sensitive UK environments. They’re looking for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer with strong hands-on experience across VMware / Omnissa Horizon, VDI and enterprise endpoint environments. This isn’t a generic Infrastructure Engineer position and it isn’t a pure Security Engineer role either. The real focus is somebody who understands how to own, support, improve and secure a large-scale Horizon / VDI environment, alongside thin-client and managed endpoint estates.

What you’ll be working with

You’ll take responsibility across areas including:

Omnissa Horizon / VMware Horizon VDI

Horizon Connection Servers

Unified Access Gateway (UAG)

Instant Clones

App Volumes

Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM)

Desktop pools and image lifecycle management

VMware vSphere / ESXi

Thin-client estates across multiple UK locations

Windows endpoint / laptop management

Active Directory and Group Policy

Patching, hardening and vulnerability remediation

Infrastructure monitoring and operational support

Security controls within highly regulated environments

Automation and scripting where appropriate

You’ll also work closely with wider infrastructure, networking and security teams to ensure the environment remains secure, resilient and properly maintained.

What I’m looking for

Ideally you’ll have strong commercial experience across:

VMware / Omnissa Horizon

Enterprise VDI environments

VMware vSphere / virtualisation

Thin-client or EUC environments

Windows infrastructure

Active Directory / Group Policy

Endpoint management, patching and hardening

Troubleshooting complex infrastructure environments

Experience with technologies such as IGEL, Dell Wyse, 10ZiG, Intune, SCCM / MECM, Workspace ONE or PowerShell would also be useful.

You do not need to tick every single box.
