    About this role

    Job Purpose
    We are seeking an experienced Senior Hyper-V Infrastructure Engineer to build the target Microsoft Hyper-V platform and migrate our clients server workloads off VMware safely and on schedule. The clients VMware licences expire, so this is a time-critical, hands-on delivery role. The successful candidate will act as the senior technical authority for the server workload migration on HPE ProLiant hosts: ~100 production server VMs (TAG cluster) and a single-host backup recovery cluster moving from VMware vSphere 8.0 to Microsoft Hyper-V. He/She will plan and run a rolling host-by-host migration, protect service continuity throughout, work closely with the VDI/XenServer workstream, and leave behind documentation the clients operations team can run with.

    Key Responsibilities
    • Microsoft Hyper-V Platform Build & Hardening
      • Build, configure, and harden Hyper-V hosts (Windows Server 2019 Datacenter) on HPE ProLiant hardware, including iLO, firmware/SPP, and driver compliance.
      • Design and deploy Hyper-V Failover Clusters: Cluster Shared Volumes, quorum/witness, live migration, and Switch Embedded Teaming.
      • Configure virtual networking (Hyper-V virtual switches, VLANs, SET/NIC teaming) and SAN storage connectivity (iSCSI/FC, MPIO) to match the existing VMware design.
      • Deploy and configure management tooling (SCVMM and/or Windows Admin Center), including host groups, logical networks, VM templates, and role-based access.
      • Stand up the Hyper-V environment for ~100 production server VMs (TAG cluster) and the single-host recovery environment.
      • Integrate the new hosts with Active Directory, DNS, monitoring, and patching tooling.
    • Server Workload Migration (VMware Exit)
      • Assess the VMware vSphere 8.0 server estate (clusters, VM inventory, application dependencies, networks, datastores) and produce the migration plan and cutover schedule against the deadline.
      • Run a rolling migration: evacuate a host, rebuild it as Hyper-V, migrate workloads, and repeat, using spare cluster capacity to avoid disruption.
      • Convert and migrate VMs using appropriate V2V tooling (e.g. SCVMM, Windows Admin Center VM Conversion, Veeam restore to Hyper-V), including VMware Tools removal, Integration Services, Generation 1/2 decisions, and network/IP re-mapping.
      • Plan and execute a safe approach for the single-host recovery cluster, where no spare capacity exists.
      • Define test, validation, and rollback procedures for each cutover, and coordinate change windows, out-of-hours activity, and application owner sign-off with the client.
      • Decommission VMware hosts once workloads are verified and signed off.
    • Backup, Resilience & Security
      • Rebuild and migrate the Veeam backup server and backup proxy onto Hyper-V; reconfigure backup jobs for Hyper-V and confirm repositories and restore tests work on the new platform.
      • Configure high availability, VM placement and anti-affinity rules, and checkpoint policies for production workloads.
      • Apply security hardening aligned to CIS Benchmarks and Microsoft Security Baselines on all new hosts.
      • Establish patching and lifecycle processes for the new hosts (e.g. Cluster-Aware Updating).
    • Automation, Documentation & Handover
      • Automate repetitive build, configuration, and migration tasks using PowerShell (Hyper-V and FailoverClusters modules).
      • Produce build documentation, runbooks, and operational handover for the clients infrastructure team, and brief them on day-to-day management.
      • Coordinate with the Citrix XenServer / VDI workstream on shared hardware, networks, storage, and the overall migration schedule.
    Qualification, Skills and Experience:
    • 10+ years of relevant experience in virtualisation and Wintel infrastructure, with deep hands-on expertise in Microsoft Hyper-V.
    • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science , Information Technology or Engineering.
    • Strong hands-on experience building and managing Microsoft Hyper-V hosts and Failover Clusters (Cluster Shared Volumes, live migration, quorum, Switch Embedded Teaming) in production.
    • Strong experience with System Center Virtual Machine Manager and/or Windows Admin Center for managing Hyper-V at scale.
    • Proven experience migrating 100+ server VMs from VMware to Hyper-V with minimal downtime, using V2V tooling such as SCVMM, Windows Admin Center VM Conversion, or Veeam.
    • Good understanding of VMware vSphere/ESXi 7.x/8.x, including vCenter, VM export (OVF), VMware Tools removal, and host decommissioning.
    • Hands-on experience with HPE ProLiant servers, including iLO, firmware/SPP compliance, and Smart Array configuration.
    • Good understanding of storage and SAN technologies, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and MPIO, and their use with Hyper-V Cluster Shared Volumes.
    • Understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, VLANs, LACP/NIC teaming, switching, and firewalls.
    • Good understanding of backup and disaster recovery technologies, especially Veeam Backup & Replication in Hyper-V environments (backup server/proxy rebuilds, repositories, restore testing).
    • Strong experience in Windows Server administration , including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy management.
    • Hands-on experience with PowerShell scripting (including the Hyper-V and FailoverClusters modules) for infrastructure automation, administration, and migration tasks.
    • Experience implementing security baselines and hardening standards, including CIS Benchmarks and Microsoft Security Baselines, and managing patching (WSUSCluster-Aware Updating).
    • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across Hyper-V, Failover Clustering, Windows, networking, storage, and other infrastructure layers.
