About the Role

As a Principal Solutions Architect, you will specialize in designing, developing, and governing integrated digital project controls environments for major capital programs. This domain-specific role focuses on Programme Management, PMO systems, Project Controls processes, and EPPM technology ecosystems within the Digital and Data Solutions Group.

Responsibilities

• Define enterprise-aligned solution architectures for programme controls platforms covering cost, schedule, risk, performance reporting, and data governance.
• Lead the evaluation, selection, design, and configuration of programme controls systems (e.g., EcoSys, Oracle Primavera P6 and Unifier, Aconex, CDEs including SharePoint and ProjectWise, and related digital delivery tools).
• Translate business, PMO, and programme requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable solution designs aligned with enterprise architecture standards and major programme delivery strategies.
• Design and govern integration architectures across APIs, data pipelines, reporting tools, and wider programme delivery systems to ensure seamless interoperability and consistency of controls data.
• Identify architectural risks, constraints, and dependencies, develop mitigation strategies, and ensure solutions meet performance, scalability, resilience, and security requirements.
• Act as the technical authority for implementation teams, software vendors, and delivery partners, ensuring solutions meet business, technical, and quality specifications throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Support digital transformation across PMO and project controls, including process harmonisation, standardisation, change adoption, and optimisation of digital ways of working.
• Provide strategic architectural input across bidding, mobilisation, and programme delivery phases, advising on technology roadmaps, solution options, and implementation approaches.

Requirements

• Strong experience designing and implementing Programme Management and Project Controls technology solutions, ideally within major capital programmes or complex delivery environments.
• Solid understanding of core project controls processes, including cost management, planning and scheduling, risk, change control, governance, and performance reporting.
• Hands-on experience with project controls and EPPM platforms including EcoSys, Primavera P6, Primavera Unifier, Aconex, and CDEs such as SharePoint and ProjectWise.
• Ability to design robust technical architectures covering integration models, data structures, coding frameworks, workflow design, and interoperability patterns relevant to project controls ecosystems.
• Experience assessing and optimising existing systems architectures, identifying opportunities to improve reliability, scalability, and analytical capability.
• Background supporting digital transformation in PMO and project controls, including business process improvement, operating model changes, and standardisation of ways of working.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, capable of articulating technical trade-offs, solution options, and dependencies to non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical and data modelling capabilities, with experience shaping structured programme data environments for integrated reporting and performance analytics.
• Experience designing, implementing, or supporting PMO and Project Controls systems including EcoSys, Primavera P6, Unifier, Aconex, or equivalent EPPM technologies.
• Proven experience evaluating, configuring, and deploying COTS and SaaS solutions using structured assessment, selection, and implementation methodologies.
• Knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF, MODAF, or NAF and their application within programme delivery and governance environments.
• Familiarity with DevOps-aligned delivery practices and CI/CD concepts, particularly relating to integration environments, automated deployment models, and cloud-based delivery pipelines.
• Experience with reporting and analytics tools including Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent BI platforms used for programme performance reporting.
• Strong understanding of integration technologies including API design, ETL processes, data pipelines, and interoperability standards relevant to controls ecosystems.
