Data Architect

Help Shape the UK’s Energy Future

Data Architect Opportunity with the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), Supporting Sizewell C

As part of the CWA (Civil Works Alliance), you will support the building of Sizewell

C. Sizewell C will be a 3.2-gigawatt power station generating low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes and will play a key role in our energy future, supplying reliable, clean electricity for at least 60 years. This role will be within the CWA Wide Section.

What will you do?

The Enterprise Data Architect will work within the Enterprise Architecture function to develop and maintain CWA's enterprise data architecture and its relationships with business, application, technology and implementation architecture.

The role will work closely with the Enterprise Architect Lead, Data, IT, Digital, PMO, business and delivery teams to define data structures, domains, ownership, flows, lineage, authoritative sources and integration dependencies, and to translate these into clear architecture models and documentation.

A strong understanding of Microsoft Azure cloud architecture is essential, particularly the relationship between Azure services, enterprise data platforms, applications, integration, identity, security, networking and storage.

Experience of major construction and infrastructure environments and associated technologies such as BIM, digital twins, common data environments and asset information systems will be advantageous.
