Job Description
Our client is seeking a Senior-level Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Systems Administrator to backfill a critical role due to an upcoming retirement. This is a contract-to-hire position focused on Omnissa Horizon (VMware Horizon) with some exposure to Citrix, supporting a large, enterprise Windows environment.
This role is ideal for a seasoned infrastructure professional who can hit the ground running, take ownership of complex projects, and serve as a technical escalation point for high-impact VDI initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain VDI environments primarily using Omnissa Horizon (VMware Horizon), with limited Citrix support
Deploy, publish, and manage virtualized applications and desktops
Lead and execute project-based VDI initiatives, including new environment builds and enhancements
Serve as a Tier 3 escalation resource for complex technical issues that junior team members or support teams cannot resolve
Perform hands-on administration using PowerShell for automation and system management
Work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, architect solutions, and implement designs end-to-end
Support VDI infrastructure running on the hypervisor layer (no bare-metal server administration required)
Manage and create Active Directory objects, including GPOs and OUs (advanced AD architecture handled by separate AD engineers)
Mentor junior team members as needed (no formal people leadership responsibilities)
Participate in future-state initiatives involving cloud adoption (Azure and/or AWS)
