Role Overview

The Solutions Architect is responsible for delivering enterprise level solution architecture across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring solutions are secure by design, cloud-aligned, integration-ready, and scalable for the future.

Reporting to the Group Manager Digital Architecture, the Solutions Architect  operates across both business and technology domains, support project delivery while maintaining architectural integrity and alignment with FPH’s strategic direction. This includes a strong focus on cloud technologies, enterprise integration standardisation (API-first, event-driven patterns), IoT and edge computing, OT/IT convergence and network segmentation, enterprise data platform alignment, AI and emerging systems governance, and cyber resilience within a critical infrastructure environment.

The Solutions Architect brings cross domain capability, sound architectural judgement, and the ability to influence outcomes across a diverse range of stakeholders and initiatives.
