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 informationsystems, and it needs a senior engineer to take the core services from design through to a cleanhandover - 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, certificateservices and federation, including hybrid identity with Entra ID
- 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 coreservices, 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 availabilityand disaster recovery
- Infrastructure as Code and automation with tools such as Terraform, Ansible or PowerShell 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 thaninherited, inside a long-running international programme.
