About the Role
Our client, a leading automotive manufacturer, is looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to join their Host Infrastructure team. This team owns the organization's virtualized server environment, collaboration room technology, and core IT systems supporting plant operations across two facilities.
This is a hands-on, generalist role for someone who thrives on variety. You won't be siloed into a single specialty - you'll work across virtualization, storage, identity management, and collaboration technology, with the opportunity to grow your skill set across all of them. The team is in the middle of several modernization initiatives, including a recent virtualization platform migration, SAN replacement, and infrastructure standardization work, so there's no shortage of interesting problems to solve.
This role would suit someone early-to-mid career who is technically curious, comfortable learning new tools independently, and excited to grow into a broader infrastructure skill set rather than someone looking to apply deep specialization in a single technology.
What You'll Do
Administer and troubleshoot the organization's virtualized server environment (Nutanix, VMware)Support Windows Server administration, including patching, performance tuning, and troubleshootingManage SAN storage infrastructure, including provisioning and troubleshootingSupport and help modernize collaboration room technology (Microsoft Teams Rooms, Crestron AV systems) across approximately 50 roomsProvide support for telephony systems (Cisco, Avaya — VoIP and analog)Contribute to infrastructure projects including storage replacements, backup infrastructure upgrades, and patching standardization initiativesParticipate in an on-call rotation supporting after-hours and weekend maintenance windowsUse automation and AI tools (Power Shell, Ansible, Copilot, ChatGPT) to improve documentation, troubleshooting, and operational efficiency where possibleWork cross-functionally with vendors and other infrastructure teams to resolve issues and implement solutionsWhat We're Looking For

Hands-on experience with VMware and/or virtualization platformsWindows Server administration experienceExperience with enterprise storage/SAN environmentsStrong project and time management skills — ability to balance support tickets, incidents, and project workA genuine self-starter mentality: comfortable researching, testing, and learning new technologies independentlyNice-to-Haves (areas you'll have the opportunity to grow into)
Nutanix administrationActive Directory (DNS, DHCP, Group Policy)Red Hat Linux administrationMicrosoft Teams Rooms / AV systems (Crestron)Backup and recovery tools (Cohesity)Kubernetes / container orchestrationPower Shell or Ansible scriptingMicrosoft administrationYou don't need to check every box above. We're more interested in your ability to learn quickly, take ownership of problems, and grow your skill set over time than in having deep expertise across every listed technology on day one.
