Enterprise Architect

The Enterprise Architect will act as a trusted strategic partner to major electric utility customers, guiding digital transformation across IT and operational technology (OT) environments. Based in Cambridge or Edinburgh, the role operates on a hybrid schedule and requires approximately 20-25% travel across the UK and Europe.

Responsibilities

• Lead strategic enterprise architecture and digital transformation engagements with electric utility customers, helping them define practical 3- to 5-year roadmaps across IT and OT environments.
• Facilitate workshops and advisory sessions with senior stakeholders, translating complex business priorities and regulatory drivers into clear, actionable architecture plans and transition strategies.
• Advise customers on architecture considerations spanning mission-critical systems – including ADMS, EMS, SCADA, GIS, DMS and OMS – alongside cloud, data, integration, cybersecurity and infrastructure.
• Support early project design phases to ensure delivery teams have a clear picture of the customer’s existing ecosystem, integration requirements and long-term architecture direction.
• Act as the voice of the customer internally, collaborating across Product Management, Engineering, Sales, Presales and specialist teams to shape product and solution roadmaps.
• Build trusted, long-term relationships with key utility customers, positioning GE Vernova as a strategic architecture and transformation partner.
• Develop reusable consulting methods, templates and playbooks that strengthen consistency and quality across strategic architecture engagements.
• Travel approximately 20-25% of the time for customer site visits, workshops and regional events across the UK and Europe (most trips are short in duration).

Qualifications

• Substantive experience in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, strategic consulting or digital transformation – ideally gained within or alongside the utilities, energy or mission-critical technology sectors.
• Ability to work across both IT and OT domains with solid familiarity with utility operational systems such as ADMS, EMS/AEMS, SCADA, GIS, DMS, OMS or related grid technologies.
• Capability to engage strategically with utility customers – understanding their business objectives, regulatory environment and operational constraints – and translate that understanding into practical architecture guidance.
• Understanding of modern enterprise IT topics including cloud, integration, data, cybersecurity, infrastructure and non-functional requirements, and how these intersect with OT in a utility context.
• Ability to facilitate senior stakeholder workshops, discovery sessions and advisory engagements, producing high-quality customer-facing deliverables such as roadmaps, transition plans and strategic recommendations.
• Strong communication, listening and stakeholder management skills, with confidence to present complex architecture topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative, team-oriented approach – comfortable working across a global team and engaging specialist subject matter experts as needed.
• A formal education and subsequent University Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant subject is preferred, though experience and achievements are the primary focus.
• Familiarity with architecture frameworks such as TOGAF is beneficial, but practical customer-facing architecture experience is most important.
