About the Role

We are seeking experienced Active Directory Engineers to support a critical infrastructure initiative: the full rebuild of our domain environment within a new Azure Landing Zone. You will work alongside our internal AD and Azure Operations teams to promote new Domain Controllers, resolve infrastructure issues, and systematically decommission legacy on-premises and Azure DCs. This is a hands-on, technically demanding engagement requiring deep Active Directory expertise, strong collaboration skills, and comfort working in complex hybrid cloud environments.

Phase 2 — DC Decommissioning (On-Premises & Azure)

Analyse DNS debug logs to identify active DC dependencies

Conduct scream testing to validate readiness for decommissioning

Coordinate with AD and Azure Ops teams to safely decommission legacy DCs

Manage the complexity of Azure DC decomissions, which require additional analysis

Adapt to scope changes as the decommission programme evolves

Required Skills & Experience

Strong hands-on experience with Active Directory (domain design, DC promotion, replication, DNS, Group Policy)

Experience working in hybrid environments (on-premises AD + Azure / Azure AD / Entra ID)

Familiarity with Azure Landing Zone architecture and Azure networking concepts

Proven ability to troubleshoot firewall rules, network routing, and security policies in the context of AD

Experience with DNS debug log analysis and dependency mapping
