Let's Talk about the Role

We are looking for an Enterprise Architect to help utility customers shape and accelerate their digital transformation journey across IT and OT domains. In this role, you will engage directly with customer stakeholders to understand business goals, facilitate strategic discussions, and translate transformation needs into actionable roadmaps, business requirements, and architecture recommendations.

This role is part of GE Vernova's Grid Software business global Enterprise Architecture team and supports the growth of our strategic consulting capability for utility customers. While the primary focus is strategic consulting, the role is expected to maintain strong awareness of solution architecture, delivery context, and enterprise feasibility to help customers move from strategy to actionable outcomes.

Based in Edinburgh and working in a hybrid pattern, you will support customers primarily across the UK and Europe, with travel of approximately 20–25% for customer visits, workshops, and regional events.

You will be supported by a team of experienced senior architects and will have opportunities to grow your strategic consulting, customer engagement, and architecture skills through hands-on mentoring and exposure to complex, high-impact utility transformation programs.

Responsibilities

• Support and contribute to strategic consulting engagements with utility customers focused on digital transformation and enterprise architecture alignment
• Facilitate workshops and advisory sessions with customer stakeholders
• Produce customer-facing deliverables such as strategic roadmaps, BRDs, transition roadmaps, and advisory recommendations
• Translate business priorities into practical architecture direction and transformation plans
• Help shape enterprise opportunities by aligning customer needs with feasible and value-driven solution approaches
• Collaborate with internal teams across Sales, Presales, Product Management, Engineering, and Services
• Engage subject matter experts across cyber, cloud, infrastructure, data, and solution domains as needed
• Help develop reusable consulting methods, assets, and playbooks that improve the consistency of strategic engagements
• What You Bring
• Extensive experience in architecture, consulting, solution strategy, or digital transformation roles
• Broad understanding of enterprise architecture across business, data, application, and technology domains
• Strong familiarity with utility environments and mission-critical utility solutions such as ADMS, AEMS/EMS, DERMS, or similar domains
• Experience facilitating workshops and engaging customer stakeholders in strategic discussions
• Experience creating customer-facing deliverables such as roadmaps, requirements documents, and recommendations
• Strong communication, listening, and presentation skills
• Ability to connect business outcomes with architecture and transformation strategy
• Ability to work across teams and engage technical SMEs when 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.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Utility industry experience
• Experience supporting IT/OT transformation initiatives
• Experience in strategic consulting or enterprise deal shaping
• Familiarity with architecture and technology topics such as cloud, infrastructure, integration, cybersecurity, and non-functional requirements
• Why This Role Matters
• This role helps customers move from transformation vision to practical action. You will play a key part in building trusted customer relationships, shaping strategic opportunities, and helping define the future architecture direction of mission-critical utility environments
• Where and How You'll Work
• This is a permanent position based from 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.
• Our Culture
• Every action shapes our future. That's why our north star is a culture of impact, where everyone is empowered to thrive and achieve. Addressing the urgent need to build a more sustainable electric power system while improving the trajectory of climate change emissions are global priorities, and we take our responsibility seriously. That is our mission at GE Vernova: continuing to electrify and decarbonise the world. We play a significant role in leading a new era of energy. Our technology helps generate approximately twenty-five percent of the world's electricity today, and we are working to power the rest. If we want the future of energy to be different, then join us and be the difference. Together, we are the Energy of Change.
• We're determined to be the best place to grow. We believe that strong careers are built on a variety of experiences, strong connections, and continuous development. We're committed to providing you the tools to navigate and shape a career journey that aligns with a healthy work-life balance. No two careers are the same, and yours should reflect your personal and professional goals. Your people leader and trusted mentors will support you through navigating your journey. We also prioritise fair pay, performance-based rewards, and wellbeing programmes for you and your family. With opportunities to move across teams and functions, your career can keep evolving while sustainability stays at the core of everything we do.
• Inclusion & Diversity
• We are passionate about creating an inclusive work environment. By valuing the ideas and contributions of a diverse workforce we help inspire others to grow, succeed, and raise the bar for everyone. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, GE Vernova is committed to supporting disadvantaged groups whilst providing equal opportunities for both GE Vernova associates and applicants alike. Join us at GE Vernova where results can be achieved by embracing a community of belonging.
