DXC is seeking a Senior Virtualisation & Wintel Systems Engineer to provide day-to-day operational support for a key resources-sector client's mission-critical on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure. This role requires broad, hands-on experience across hyperconverged and traditional virtualisation platforms (Nutanix AHV and VMware vSphere), Microsoft Windows Server and Active Directory, and Microsoft Azure. The successful candidate must demonstrate a competent level of technology architecture, design and implementation experience, along with a sound level of networking, Windows/Linux administration, scripting and automation in an enterprise or regulated-sector environment.

At DXC we pride ourselves on delivering excellence in everything we do. For you, this means the opportunity to help solve real business problems for a valued client operating critical infrastructure, while deepening your expertise across a genuinely broad technology estate.

You will design, implement, operate and maintain the client's virtualisation and Wintel environments – keeping mission-critical workloads healthy, secure and available, and helping the client maximise the value of their platform investments. You will work across on-premise Nutanix and VMware infrastructure, Windows Server and Active Directory, and integrated Azure services.

You will be working in our Cloud and ITO Service line, supporting a major Australian resources-sector client within a team of highly skilled engineers. You will collaborate with client stakeholders, DXC delivery teams, and technology partners (e.g. Nutanix, VMware/Broadcom, Microsoft). The environment operates under ISM / Essential Eight-aligned security obligations, giving you exposure to compliance-driven infrastructure delivery.

• Operate and maintain Nutanix (AHV) and VMware vSphere/ESXi environments, including cluster health, capacity, upgrades and lifecycle management (LCM / AOS / vCenter).
• Administer Windows Server estates and Active Directory – replication, DNS, Group Policy, certificate services and domain health across multiple domains.
• Support and integrate Microsoft Azure services (IaaS, storage, identity/Entra) alongside on-premise workloads in a hybrid model.
• Review and update infrastructure designs, create implementation plans, and audit existing environments.
• Develop server images, build standards and technology deployment strategies.
• Design and implement preventative maintenance plans for virtual and Wintel infrastructure.
• Configure and tune alarms, alerts and monitoring across platforms.
• Troubleshoot performance and availability problems, investigate incidents, and manage escalations to resolution.
• Adopt and apply AI-assisted tooling to improve productivity – accelerating diagnostics, scripting, automation and documentation while maintaining quality and security standards.
• Independently take on tasks across multiple projects simultaneously.
• Log all cases and work in DXC's Service Management platform, and support Change, Problem and Capacity governance.
• Maintain platform stability and uptime targets across the virtual and Wintel estate.
• Work remotely, and on client sites or data centres as required.

• Degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Information Systems or a related discipline, or equivalent job experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with Nutanix (AHV and/or ESXi on Nutanix) – cluster operations, upgrades and troubleshooting.
• Solid VMware vSphere/ESXi and vCenter experience across design, implementation and operational support.
• Advanced Windows Server administration and Active Directory expertise (replication, DNS, GPO, PKI/certificate services).
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure and hybrid cloud integration (identity, storage, IaaS).
• Proficient in TCP/IP networking, VLANs and infrastructure security fundamentals.
• PowerShell and PowerCLI scripting for automation and operational tooling.
• Comfortable administering both Windows and Linux systems.
• Exposure to ISM / Essential Eight or comparable security compliance frameworks is highly regarded.
• Relevant certifications (e.g. Nutanix NCP, VMware VCP/VCAP, Microsoft Azure/Windows Server) are advantageous.
• Ability to leverage AI tooling and assistants (e.g. copilots, LLM-based tools) to enhance productivity, accelerate troubleshooting, automate routine tasks and improve documentation quality.
• Ability to work directly with customers in a professional manner and maintain up-to-date technical knowledge of emerging trends.
