Job Description Summary

Job Description

Cambridge, UK or Edinburgh, Scotland | Permanent | Hybrid

Are you ready to help shape the future of the electricity grid — working with major utility customers to define where they need to go and how they can get there?

GE Vernova is looking for an exceptional Enterprise Architect to join our Grid Solutions and Global Enterprise Architecture team, based in either Cambridge or Edinburgh.

-----------------------------------------------

Let's Talk about the Role

The Enterprise Architect will act as a trusted strategic partner to major electric utility customers, helping them navigate complex digital transformation across both IT and operational technology (OT) environments.

You will work at the intersection of business strategy and technology, engaging with senior customer stakeholders to understand their priorities, challenges, and long-term goals. You will translate that understanding into practical architecture direction, multi-year transformation roadmaps, and clear advisory recommendations — helping customers modernise their mission-critical systems and integrate them into broader enterprise and digital ecosystems.

Based in Cambridge or Edinburgh and working in a hybrid pattern, you will be part of GE Vernova's global Enterprise Architecture team, supporting customers primarily across the UK and Europe, with travel of approximately 20–25% for customer visits, workshops, and regional events.

-----------------------------------------------
How You Will Make a Difference
  • Leadingstrategic enterprise architecture and digital transformation engagements with electric utility customers, helping them define practical 3–5 year roadmaps across IT and OT environments
  • Facilitatingworkshops and advisory sessions with senior stakeholders, translating complex business priorities and regulatory drivers into clear, actionable architecture plans and transition strategies
  • Advisingcustomers on architecture considerations spanning mission-critical systems — including ADMS, EMS, SCADA, GIS, DMS, and OMS — alongside cloud, data, integration, cybersecurity, and infrastructure
  • Supportingearly project design phases to ensure delivery teams have a clear picture of the customer's existing ecosystem, integration requirements, and long-term architecture direction
  • Actingas the voice of the customer internally — collaborating across Product Management, Engineering, Sales, Presales, and specialist teams to ensure customer needs shape product and solution roadmaps
  • Buildingtrusted, long-term relationships with key utility customers, positioning GE Vernova as a strategic architecture and transformation partner
  • Developingreusable consulting methods, templates, and playbooks that strengthen consistency and quality across strategic architecture engagements
-----------------------------------------------
Special Role Requirements
  • Able to travel approximately 20–25% of the time for customer site visits, workshops, and regional events across the UK and Europe — most trips are expected to be short in duration
-----------------------------------------------
Skills for Success

You should be a confident, customer-focused architecture professional who is equally comfortable engaging at board level and working through technical complexity, with:

  • Substantive experience in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, strategic consulting, or digital transformation — ideally gained within or alongside the utilities, energy, or mission-critical technology sectors
  • The ability to work across both IT and OT domains, with solid familiarity with utility operational systems such as ADMS, EMS/AEMS, SCADA, GIS, DMS, OMS, or related grid technologies
  • The capability to engage strategically with utility customers — understanding their business objectives, regulatory environment, and operational constraints, and turning that understanding into practical architecture guidance
  • An understanding of modern enterprise IT topics including cloud, integration, data, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and non-functional requirements, and how these intersect with operational technology in a utility context
  • The ability to facilitate senior stakeholder workshops, discovery sessions, and advisory engagements, and to produce high-quality customer-facing deliverables including roadmaps, transition plans, and strategic recommendations
  • Strong communication, listening, and stakeholder management skills — with the confidence to present complex architecture topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • A collaborative, team-oriented approach — comfortable working across a global team and engaging specialist subject matter experts where deeper input is needed

A formal education and subsequent University Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant subject is a nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements. Familiarity with architecture frameworks such as TOGAF is beneficial, though practical customer-facing architecture experience is what matters most.

-----------------------------------------------

Where and How You'll Work

This is a permanent position based from either our Cambridge or Edinburgh office. We have a hybrid working model which gives you the flexibility to work from the office and from home — typically with two to three days per week in the office. We're big on collaboration and connection, so regular in-person time is an important part of how we work together and build strong customer relationships.
