Senior Infrastructure Engineer – VMware & Nutanix
£400–£500 per day | Outside IR35
6-month contract | Strong extension potential
Hybrid – Greater Manchester
VMware remains one of the most widely used virtualisation platforms in enterprise infrastructure, but with organisations increasingly reviewing the cost and flexibility of their VMware estates, Nutanix is becoming an increasingly relevant technology for infrastructure professionals to have on their CV.
This is an opportunity for an experienced VMware Engineer to gain genuine hands-on exposure to Nutanix while working within a large, global infrastructure environment. You'll work across VMware, Nutanix and the wider Microsoft stack, including Windows Server, Azure, Active Directory/Entra ID and Microsoft 365.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
