Migration

Role Summary:
Seeking an experienced Windows Server Engineer to support large-scale server migration projects by performing pre- and post-migration validation, ensuring successful cutovers, and developing automation to streamline health checks. The team will be responsible for validating approximately 100 Windows servers per day in a high-volume migration environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Perform pre-migration validation to confirm server readiness, application dependencies, network connectivity, and baseline system health.
Execute post-migration validation to verify successful migration and ensure all services, applications, and infrastructure components are functioning as expected.
Validate that cutover activities are complete, confirming server accessibility, DNS updates, application availability, authentication, scheduled tasks, and service status.
Develop and maintain PowerShell automation and scripts to perform standardized health validation across large server populations.
Troubleshoot and resolve validation failures, working closely with migration, application, infrastructure, and operations teams.
Generate validation reports, document issues, and provide migration signoff based on defined acceptance criteria.
Support high-volume migration events, validating approximately 100 servers per day while meeting established SLAs.

Required Skills & Experience:

10+ years of Windows Server administration experience (Windows Server 2016/2019/2022).
Strong experience supporting enterprise server migration or data center migration projects.
Advanced PowerShell scripting skills for automation and health validation.
Experience validating Windows services, Event Logs, scheduled tasks, IIS (where applicable), DNS, Active Directory, file shares, networking, and application connectivity.
Strong troubleshooting skills across Windows OS, networking, storage, and authentication.
Experience working in ITIL-based change and release management environments.
Ability to prioritize and manage validation activities across large-scale migration waves.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with VMware or Hyper-V environments.
Familiarity with monitoring tools such as SCOM, SolarWinds, or similar enterprise monitoring platforms.
Experience with Azure or hybrid cloud migrations.
Knowledge of automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure-as-code tools is a plus.

This role is ideal for an engineer who combines strong Windows infrastructure expertise with automation skills to ensure migration quality, minimize downtime, and efficiently validate large-scale migration events.
