Solution Architecture JG3

Het cv en de motivatie dienen in het Engels te worden aangeboden.

This is an Integrated Gas asset-facing Solution Architect role with strong hands-on Data Architecture experience. It is not a Data Engineer, pure Data Architect, AI Architect or process-engineering role.

The successful candidate must combine:

• End-to-end solution architecture ownership and independent delivery.
• Practical understanding of the Integrated Gas business and how relevant assets operate.
• Ability to develop solution logical data architecture and guide physical data design.
• Experience translating operational needs and constraints into implementable technology solutions.
• Hands-on experience with architecture modelling tools and repository-based architecture models.

Generic cloud or data-platform experience alone is insufficient. Submissions must demonstrate relevant gas production, gas processing, LNG or GTL experience, including examples of how operational understanding influenced architecture decisions. Submissions must also include evidence of practical architecture modelling capability; certification alone does not demonstrate tool proficiency.

Role Purpose

We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect to deliver end-to-end architecture for projects supporting Integrated Gas assets and business capabilities, including data, analytics and AI-enabled solutions.

The architect will translate asset business goals, operating processes and user needs into fit-for-purpose solution designs. Solutions should support relevant outcomes such as safe and reliable operations, production performance, equipment reliability, energy efficiency, cost effectiveness and carbon performance.

The role requires working knowledge of how Integrated Gas assets operate, how operational decisions are made, and how operational, engineering and enterprise information is used. The architect must apply this understanding when defining application, integration, data, technology, security and non-functional requirements.

This is primarily an individual contributor role. The architect will independently own assigned solution architecture deliverables and assurance through implementation, working to the direction and priorities set by the Lead Architect. The role does not replace asset engineering, operations or technical-authority accountability.

Key Responsibilities and Deliverables

1. Understand the business and asset context

• Develop a clear understanding of the assigned asset, business capability, operating processes, users and intended business outcomes before proposing technology solutions.
• Work with operations, process engineering, production optimisation, maintenance, reliability, integrity, business IT and OT stakeholders, as relevant to the assignment.
• Map business processes, operational decisions, information flows and dependencies across the solution scope.
• Translate business needs into architecture requirements and acceptance criteria, maintaining traceability between the intended outcome and the proposed design.
• Validate operational assumptions and requirements with the relevant asset subject-matter experts.

2. Own end-to-end solution architecture

• Develop and maintain integrated solution architectures across business processes, applications, data, integrations, technology and security.
• Evaluate solution options and trade-offs, considering business value, affordability, delivery feasibility, operational adoption, supportability and risk.
• Identify dependencies on existing asset systems, enterprise platforms, infrastructure and delivery initiatives.
• Apply relevant standards, reference architectures and strategic technology roadmaps, identifying and managing required exceptions.
• Provide architecture direction and assurance throughout design and implementation.

3. Design for asset-operating requirements

• Translate operating constraints into explicit non-functional requirements, including availability, resilience, performance, latency, connectivity and recoverability.
• Address IT/OT integration boundaries and security requirements with the relevant authorities.
