We're seeking an experienced VDI Platform Engineer to support a medium-sized enterprise Omnissa (VMware) Horizon environment in a critical, high-impact setting.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the operation, stability, and continuous improvement of the VDI platform. You'll be working across core Horizon infrastructure and desktop delivery - not a helpdesk role, though some targeted user support may be required where issues relate directly to the platform.
What You'll Be Doing
- Run and maintain the Horizon platform (pods, pools, brokers, gateways)
- Manage VDI infrastructure in collaboration with platform teams (vSphere, storage, networking)
- Monitor performance and capacity, troubleshooting issues end-to-end
- Support incidents, problem management, and change activity
- Manage desktop pools, golden images, and provisioning workflows
- Support application delivery (App Volumes or similar) and user profile management (DEM or equivalent)
- Troubleshoot Windows and Linux VDI session and performance issues
- Support core Windows Server services (AD, DNS, authentication)
- Contribute to patching, upgrades, and ongoing platform enhancements.
What We're Looking For
- Strong hands-on experience with VMware / Omnissa Horizon
- Live SC Clearance
- Proven experience operating VDI in enterprise environments
- Solid understanding of:
- Horizon architecture (Connection Servers, UAG, pools, images)
- vSphere (vCenter, ESXi)
- VDI performance optimisation and troubleshooting
- Strong Windows Server knowledge (AD, GPO, DNS, identity integration)
- Experience supporting Windows and/or Linux VDI desktops
- Excellent troubleshooting across platform, OS, and user experience
