IT Infrastructure Engineer

Mission

As an IT Infrastructure Engineer, you will be the backbone of our internal systems. You will take ownership of the Microsoft ecosystem (Server, AD, Exchange/O365) and physical hardware, while acting as the technical liaison for our Managed Service Provider regarding our virtualized environment.

We are looking for someone who excels at on-premise Windows administration but is also eager to support our gradual transition toward Microsoft Azure.

Challenges we trust you with

1. Microsoft Ecosystem Management

• Active Directory: Manage and maintain the health of multi-site Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), including Group Policies (GPO), DNS, and DHCP.
• Windows Server: Oversee the lifecycle of Windows Servers (2016/2019/2022), including provisioning, patching, hardening, and troubleshooting.
• Identity Management: Bridge on-premise AD with Entra ID (Azure AD) to ensure seamless identity synchronization (Azure AD Connect).

2. Hardware & Infrastructure

• HPE Hardware: Manage the physical lifecycle of our server infrastructure (HPE ProLiant/Synergy), including firmware updates, iLO management, and physical racking/stacking when required.
• Hybrid Cloud: Assist in the deployment and maintenance of Azure resources (IaaS/PaaS) as we expand our cloud footprint.

3. MSP Coordination (Virtualization & Backup)

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for our Managed Service Provider (MSP) regarding the VMware vSphere environment and Veeam backup solutions.
• Monitor MSP performance to ensure SLAs are met regarding backup integrity and virtualization uptime.
• Collaborate with the MSP on capacity planning and major upgrade projects (e.g., vCenter upgrades).

4. Automation & Security

• Utilize PowerShell to automate repetitive administrative tasks and reporting.
• Ensure all infrastructure components adhere to security best practices and compliance standards.

What we value

You have:

Technical Skills:

• Expert Knowledge: Windows Server environments, Active Directory (Forest/Domain architecture), and Core Network Services (DNS, DHCP, DFS).
• Strong Knowledge: Microsoft 365 administration and Entra ID (Azure AD).
• Hardware Familiarity: Experience with HPE server hardware and management tools (iLO/OneView).
• Virtualization: Solid understanding of VMware ESXi/vCenter. Note: You do not need to be an architect, but you must understand the technology well enough to validate the MSP's work.
• Backup: Understanding of backup principles (Veeam experience is a plus).
• Scripting: Proficiency in PowerShell for task automation.
• Cloud: Foundational knowledge of Microsoft Azure is highly desirable.

Soft Skills:

• Language: Fluent in English (Corporate language). Knowledge of French or Dutch is a strong asset.
• Problem Solver: Analytical mindset with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues in a global environment.
• Communicator: Ability to explain technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders and manage vendor relationships effectively.

What we offer

• A stable and meaningful role within a trusted international organisation of 2,500+ colleagues.
• An advanced technical environment (HPE/VMware/Microsoft/Azure) where you can work with modern, scalable infrastructure.
• A competitive Belgian market package, including company car, insurance, meal vouchers, and other benefits.
• Continuous opportunities to grow and deepen your Cloud expertise (Azure) within the Digital Solutions team.
• A flexible hybrid-working setup that supports work–life balance and gives you more control over your schedule.
