Description
Build a sovereign private cloud platform that keeps the Netherlands' water clean.
At Schuberg Philis, we believe the best, most future-proof solutions are built by the same engineers who design them, implement them, and run them. No handovers, no silos. Experts in the lead — from day one until the system is live and beyond.
For one of our new customer engagements, we are looking for a Private Cloud Engineer who takes full ownership of a greenfield infrastructure project — and who thrives when the stakes are high and the environment is complex.
What you'll be doing
Our customer is a Dutch water authority responsible for wastewater treatment across 19 locations throughout the Netherlands. Their IT and OT environments are currently intertwined and, on top of that, the systems that keep clean water flowing need to become increasingly automated.
We are building the foundation for that future: a sovereign private cloud platform based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9, deployed across two active-active datacenters — one at the customer's site, one in a colocation facility. The platform uses NSX to achieve logical IT/OT separation and vSAN for storage. Once the core platform is stable, it will be extended to all 19 operational locations.
In this role, you will:
- Design, build and continuously improve a resilient, secure, multi-tenant private cloud platform
- Implement and maintain logical IT/OT separation using NSX, ensuring compliance with applicable frameworks
- Automate infrastructure deployment and configuration using Infrastructure as Code tooling
- Contribute to the physical infrastructure setup in both datacenters during the initial build phase — together with your team, not as a lone ranger
- Support workload migrations and transformations once the platform is ready for use
- Help evolve the platform's run operations as the engagement matures
This is not a role for someone who wants to manage what others have built. You'll be in the mix from the start — racking hardware in Zwolle one day, writing Terraform modules the next.
What we're looking for
You know VMware's private cloud stack inside out. You've built environments from scratch, and you understand the difference between setting something up and truly owning it. You have an everything-as-code mindset and you're comfortable in environments where security and compliance aren't afterthoughts — they're baked in from the start.
You also communicate fluently in Dutch. All documentation, client interaction and team communication happens in Dutch, and that won't change.
Must-haves:
- Extensive hands-on experience with VMware VCF, including vSphere, NSX and vSAN
- Strong knowledge of resilient, multi-tenant private cloud infrastructure
- Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and/or Chef
- Experience working in high-security environments
- Familiarity with physical networking and storage — whether that's Aruba, Cisco, Arista or NetApp, we care more about your depth of understanding than the specific vendor logo on the hardware
- Fluency in Dutch — mandatory
Nice to have:
- Affinity with or experience in OT environments (e.g. SCADA, industrial automation, water or energy sector)
- Knowledge of relevant compliance frameworks such as IEC 62443, BIO or ISO 27001
- Experience hardening, configuring and managing Windows and/or Linux servers for hosting and deploying VM workloads
- VMware certifications, e.g. VCP-DCV (VMware Certified Professional – Data Center Virtualization)
Practical information
- Start date: as soon as possible
- On-site: First 3–4 months in Zwolle, at least 3 days per week — with your team, not alone. After the initial phase a hybrid , approximately 1 day per week on-site in Zwolle, 2 days in our office
- Office: Schiphol-Rijk
- Contract: Permanent / Indefinite contract
- Hours: Full-time (32–40 hours)
Join us in building infrastructure that keeps clean water flowing — and that lays the foundation for a smarter, safer and more automated future for Dutch water management.
