SCADA / OT Architect

Your role

The SCADA Technology & Solutions Lead owns the enterprise‑level direction for SCADA and IT/OT convergence within a consultancy and client advisory context. The role ensures that SCADA and OT integration solutions are technically coherent, secure, scalable, and operationally fit‑for‑purpose, aligned with enterprise digital transformation strategies, OT operating models, IT architecture, data, network, and cybersecurity policies. It establishes the architectural and design foundations required to enable sustainable OT‑to‑IT integration and cloud‑ready, data‑driven operational capabilities across multi‑site utility environments.

Key responsibilities

• Lead enterprise SCADA and OT platform option assessments, defining future‑ready reference architectures across centralised, distributed, and hybrid deployment models.
• Provide technical leadership across converged IT/OT domains, assuring alignment of requirements, architectures, standards, roadmaps, and business case inputs.
• Define and govern vendor‑agnostic SCADA and OT platform selection criteria, covering interoperability, lifecycle management, supportability, and future‑proofing.
• Own and shape the Unified Namespace and standardisation approach, including asset models, naming conventions, signals, events, and metadata.
• Champion modern OT integration patterns, enabling secure, scalable and event‑driven data flows between OT, enterprise, and cloud platforms.
• Chair architectural and technical design reviews, managing key risks, assumptions, constraints, and decisions with clear auditability.

Your profile

You’ll bring deep experience designing and delivering enterprise‑scale SCADA architectures within water or utility environments, with a strong understanding of OT systems and practical IT/OT convergence. You’re comfortable working across complex, mixed‑vendor and legacy estates, shaping modernisation and migration strategies while providing clear technical leadership and engaging confidently across operational, engineering, digital, network, and cyber teams.

Key strengths

• Enterprise SCADA architecture design across legacy and modern OT environments
• Strong IT/OT convergence expertise and stakeholder leadership across multidisciplinary teams
