VMware / NetApp | On-Prem Environment | Step-Up Opportunity

Opportunity knocks…

We’re looking for an Infrastructure Administrator to join a high-performing IT team and take ownership of virtualisation and storage platforms. This is a hands-on, firefighting role where you’ll provide operational support, resolve incidents, and keep critical infrastructure running smoothly.
If you’re an experienced Level 2 Service Desk or Support Engineer with strong VMware/virtualisation skills, this is your chance to step up into an Administrator position and make your mark.

The inside word…

  • Hands-on role ensuring systems remain safe, reliable, and efficient
  • 80% BAU operational support, with some project exposure
  • Focused on on-premise infrastructure (not a cloud-heavy environment)
  • You’ll work largely independently – the only other virtualisation engineer sits in another team
  • A role for someone who can hit the ground running with minimal hand-holding

You’re a legend because……

  • You bring 3-4 + years’ IT administration/support experience (Level 2 or above)
  • Strong virtualisation experience – VMware / vSphere essential
  • NetApp operations knowledge (ONTAP, NFS, SMB, iSCSI, FC)
  • Solid grounding in enterprise storage (NAS/SAN) – flexibility if your virtualisation is strong
  • Familiar with the ITIL framework for incident/change management
  • Troubleshooting pro – comfortable “firefighting” under pressure
  • Bonus points for: Cisco MDS/Brocade SAN, vSAN, automation/scripting (e.g., Ansible), or cloud concepts (Azure, AWS, GCP)

What’s in it for you?

  • A chance to step up from Support into an Administrator role
  • Administration of enterprise-grade virtualisation and storage systems
  • A collaborative team culture where you can make real impact
  • Exposure to both BAU and project work in a fast-paced environment
  • Auckland CBD location + flexible working options
