About the role: 

As a Solution Architect, you will play a central role in shaping the technical direction of complex operational technology programmes, with a particular focus on PowerOn ADMS and its interactions across OT and IT environments. You will work closely with business teams, operational SMEs, engineers and delivery partners to ensure solutions are technically sound, feasible and aligned with architectural standards. This role suits someone who enjoys working across both high-level design and practical technical detail, who can quickly validate requirements against system capabilities and who brings clarity to decision-making in fast-paced, regulated contexts.

As the Solution Architect, you will

• Assess technical feasibility of proposed solutions, ensuring alignment with PowerOn ADMS capabilities, data structures, workflows and integration patterns.
• Analyse dependencies across OT and IT systems, evaluate constraints and provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to guide design decisions.
• Develop high-level solution options, architecture diagrams and technical artefacts required for governance and assurance.
• Support the definition of integration approaches and interface specifications, advising on performance, resilience, scalability and non-functional requirements.
• Work closely with Business Analysts to translate requirements into architecture-aligned designs and engage with SMEs to validate assumptions.
• Contribute to design reviews, steer risk identification early in the lifecycle and ensure that documentation is complete, clear and compliant.
