The role:

Due to the widespread knowledge base of the team, the right individual would have a few different capabilities.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

• Education to Degree Level

• Relevant certifications (TOGAF etc)

• Experience in Power Generation / energy industry

• Working knowledge of relational databases (Microsoft SQL or Oracle)

• Knowledge of Microsoft BizTalk

What does the role mean to achieve:

• A clear strategy, standards and roadmaps set and designs adhered to

• The architectural designs and documentation produced to explain the design will allow for the smooth technical delivery of the project

• The architectural practice, from the individual input grows to be seen as a key "Value Adding" function in the organisation

• The transformation projects deliver value to the business and are capable of realising the benefits originally stated

• The architecture team has awareness of a library of technology tools, so that designs are implemented in the most effective manner

If the above sounds like an opportunity you would be interested in pursuing please submit an up-to-date CV for consideration. If you would like to have a confidential discuss regarding the role, I can be reached at Junayd.Moughal@HarveyNash.com.
