Senior Identity & Infra Engineer - Cloud & Automation

Every login, every certificate, every name lookup. Somebody has to build that foundation properly.
A multinational defence organisation in Brunssum is delivering new communication and information systems, and it needs a senior engineer to take the core services from design through to a clean handover - directory, identity, certificates and the Windows infrastructure underneath them.
What you would be doing
Producing technical designs for core services and turning them into working, tested installations
Installing, configuring and integrating Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, certificate services and federation, including hybrid identity with Entra
Running testing and acceptance, then supporting deployment and migration into live service
Writing the technical documentation that goes with every build
Spotting risks early, contributing to quality assurance and keeping project governance informed
Reporting regularly on progress, milestones, issues and next steps
What you would bring
At least 5 years designing, implementing and deploying enterprise infrastructure and core services, ideally with a degree in computing or engineering
Strong Active Directory, Group Policy, PKI and Windows Server engineering
Virtualisation (VMware vSphere or Hyper-V), enterprise storage and backup, high availability and disaster recovery
Infrastructure as Code and automation with tools such as Terraform, Ansible or Power Shell DSC, plus CI/CD and Git
A security-first mindset: hardening, privileged access and certificate-based authentication
Experience in large government or defence environments is a strong plus, as are Microsoft, VMware, Terraform or security certifications
Why this one is worth a look
It is the layer every other system depends on, built from the design stage rather than inherited, inside a long-running international programme.
