Hyper-V Engineer

VMware to Hyper-V Migration Project | Infrastructure Team

About our client

They deliver managed private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid services, backed by managed disaster recovery, backup, and security, from Tier 3 and Tier 4 data centers across North America.

The Role

We're moving our private cloud off VMware and onto Microsoft Hyper-V, and we need another experienced engineer to help get it done. This is a hands-on build-and-migrate role on a multi-site project running through July 2027 across multiple data centers in the US and Canada. If you've built Hyper-V clusters, broken a few, and know how to fix them, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

Build Hyper-V hosts and failover clusters: Windows Server, CSV, Live Migration, iSCSI and Fibre Channel SANs.

Deploy and manage the platform with SCVMM and Active Directory on a segmented VLAN network design.

Plan and run VMware-to-Hyper-V migrations with Veeam, from pre-migration prep through cutover.

Tune workloads after cutover (CPU, memory, power settings, security exclusions) so customers don't feel it.

Work with Networking and Security on VLAN segmentation, virtual firewalls, and DR for migrated workloads.

Own the oddballs (Legacy OSes, SAP HANA) and document everything.

What You Bring

5+ years of hands-on Windows Server and virtualization experience, including production Hyper-V clusters.

Real world VMware vSphere/ESXi to Hyper-V Migration experience.

Working knowledge of SCVMM, Failover Clustering, Active Directory, DNS, and Group Policy.

Solid storage and networking fundamentals: FC/iSCSI SAN, VLANs, virtual switches, and NIC teaming.

Veeam Backup & Replication experience, plus enough PowerShell to automate the repeatable stuff.

A troubleshooter's mindset, a generalist's attitude, and the ability to explain your work to customers.

Nice to Have

Microsoft (AZ-800/AZ-801) or Veeam (VMCE) certifications.

Azure or AWS experience, especially cloud-based disaster recovery for Hyper-V workloads.

An MSP or multi-tenant hosting background, plus time with FortiGate, Dell iDRAC, or Live Optics.
