If you're passionate about making complex operational data genuinely usable-trusted, standardised and governed-this is a role where your architecture decisions directly enable condition monitoring, maintenance planning and smarter operational insight. Our Client is hiring a Data Architect on a contract basis for a minimum of 6 months.
What you'll be doing:
* Define the target data architecture for enterprise OT asset data products, including logical/conceptual models and canonical structures
* Ensure electricity transmission asset data is structured, contextualised and aligned to the Enterprise Data Model-so it's reusable across the organisation
* Create clear standards for data products (metadata, schema definitions, quality rules, lineage, refresh requirements, ownership, stewardship and version control)
* Develop modelling and normalisation patterns for time-series, event, alarm, measurement and file-based data-while preserving traceability across sources
* Work closely with initiatives across IoT, intelligent substations, SCADA replacement, enterprise asset management and analytics platforms to align delivery with governance
What you'll bring:
* Strong enterprise data architecture experience, including conceptual, logical and canonical data modelling
* Proven capability in metadata, lineage management, source-to-target mapping and data quality
* Experience designing reusable data products with standards and governance frameworks
* Ability to translate fragmented OT source structures into business-meaningful, consistent models
* Confidence collaborating across architecture, engineering, operations and data teams-communicating clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Comfort operating in ambiguity, shaping practical solutions and challenging constructively to drive consistency
Ready to turn fragmented OT and asset data into trusted products that enable real operational impact? Apply now to be considered.
