Azure Virtual Desktop Engineer

We are seeking an experienced AVD Engineer to design, deploy, automate, and support this environment end to end — owning the AVD host pools, supporting infrastructure, user assignment, cost efficiency, and lifecycle automation across the Vestis Azure estate.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy AVD environments — from resource specification and session-host sizing through production rollout.
• Design AVD resource specifications — VM SKU/host sizing, image selection, capacity, and naming standards (environment + host-pool-type tagging).
• Stand up and maintain the underlying Azure infrastructure — Resource Groups, VNets/subnets, Host Pools, and Workspaces (plus application groups and session hosts).
• Configure multi-user vs. personal desktops — select the right model per use case and manage Company Portal / application-delivery implications for each.
• Assign AVDs to users — manage user-to-host-pool and application-group assignments and access.
• Manage and optimize AVD costs — conduct monthly cost analysis, right-size hosts, and apply scaling/deallocation to control spend.
• Automate the AVD lifecycle — provisioning, image updates, autoscaling, and decommissioning via scripting and infrastructure-as-code.
