Senior Solutions Architect

Realta Associates are hiring two Senior Solution Architects to lead solution design and roadmapping across enterprise IT systems (corporate and operational) for a leading utilities organisation.

This is a high-impact role within a complex, regulated, 24/7 environment - shaping solutions, influencing stakeholders, and driving decisions aligned to enterprise architecture strategy.

You’ll succeed here if you can lead stakeholders, shape solutions, and land decisions.

We're open to relocators and are able to offer sponsorship to working visa's also along with a generous relocation package inclusive of advice, consultancy and financial support.

The role

• Own end-to-end solution design and target-state roadmaps across the IT estate
• Lead workshops and align business and technical stakeholders
• Develop solution options and present trade-offs, risks, and recommendations to governance / Design Authority
• Drive decisions across competing priorities (cost, risk, delivery, security, operations)
• Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and strategy
• Work across application, data, and integration architecture (with security and operational realities in mind)
• Produce clear artefacts (solution designs, ADRs, impact assessments, estimates)

Experience required

• Strong experience architecting enterprise IT systems across multiple domains
• Proven ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into practical, deliverable solutions
• Experience balancing target-state direction with delivery pragmatism
• Strong stakeholder leadership — comfortable influencing and “selling” solutions at senior level
• Experience in regulated and/or high-availability environments is advantageous

Tech (desirable)

• Experience with enterprise platforms (Microsoft or similar), including:
• ERP / CRM platforms (e.g. Dynamics 365 or equivalent)
• Cloud platforms and enterprise integration patterns
• Modern data and application ecosystems
