Solution Architect - Data Centre, Infrastructure, Networks & Cloud

We are looking for an experienced Solution Architect to support a major Data Centre Consolidation and infrastructure transformation program.

This is a hands-on architecture role spanning data centre, infrastructure, networking, hosting and cloud, with an initial focus on discovery, current-state validation and defining practical target-state architecture for a resilient multi-site environment.

You will work closely with Business Analysts and technical SMEs to identify dependencies, constraints and resilience requirements, translate discovery findings into solution designs, and progress architecture through governance and into delivery.

• Senior Solution or Infrastructure Architecture experience
• Data centre consolidation, migration or infrastructure transformation experience
• Strong knowledge of compute, storage, virtualisation and enterprise networking
• DR, high availability, resilience and RTO/RPO experience
• Hybrid on-premise and cloud architecture experience
• Ability to lead technical workshops and coordinate multiple SMEs
• Experience translating complex discovery findings and requirements into practical solution designs
• Architecture governance / ARB experience
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• Government, financial services or other regulated-environment experience highly regarded

AWS and/or Azure knowledge is beneficial, although this is not a dedicated Cloud Architect role, consistent with the original position requirements.

We are looking for someone who is technically strong, pragmatic, collaborative and delivery focused, and comfortable taking ownership in a complex transformation environment.
