Your new company:

A leading Utilities organisation in Wales are currently looking for a Technical Architect, focusing on Operational Technology, to come in and compliment the existing architecture team. You will collaborate to ensure that the organisation optimises their industrial processes, enhances resilience, and leverages emerging technologies. This is a great opportunity for an OT Engineer taking the step up into Architecture.

The role responsibilities:

  • Provide technical expertise and guidance on the integration of industrial control systems, sensors, and automation technologies.
  • Design and implement cybersecurity measures for operational technology systems, ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
  • Conduct regular assessments and audits of operational technology systems to identify vulnerabilities and recommend improvements.

You will need:

You will need to be able to influence and collaborate with other teams in the organisation and have the ability to build strong internal relationships with other members in the business. A big part of this role is the ability to communicate well with third parties and internal customers. You will have worked within similar roles and have a strong knowledge of OT and Cyber processes, as well as the different compliance frameworks associated with the utilities world.

  • Operational Technology Expertise: In-depth knowledge of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, PLCs, DCS, and other operational technology components.
  • Cybersecurity: Proficient in implementing cybersecurity measures for operational technology, including network segmentation, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
  • Integration Skills: Experience in integrating operational technology systems with enterprise IT systems for seamless data flow and analytics.
  • Emerging Technologies: Familiarity with emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, and edge computing, and their application in optimising operational processes.
  • Communication: Effective communication skills to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and facilitate collaboration across departments.

What you’ll get in return:

This role is hybrid, on a 50/50 basis. This would usually equate to 2 days in office one week, 3 days in office the next.

  • £60k-£65k initially, with yearly increments/pay rises
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Annual bonus based on personal and company performance
  • Your 5% pension contribution will be doubled by the company, meaning 15% of your annual salary will be put into the pension pot (with you only contributing 5%)
  • And more
