Job description

## De opdrachtThe OT Integration Delivery Lead is responsible for leading the delivery of Operational Technology integrations and OT operational applications within the Operations Data Hub (ODH) Phase 1 programme, including the Portsmouth Midscale Lighthouse and Cross-Platform Network Assessment.Reporting to the GE Automation Lead, this role leads Workstream V and is accountable for the successful integration of manufacturing systems including DeltaV, Syncade MES, PI Historian and plant-side LIMS integrations into the ODH platform. The role translates approved architecture, semantic specifications and source-data requirements into detailed integration designs, mappings, configurations and production-ready solutions.The successful candidate will ensure integrations are scalable, secure, vendor-supported, semantically accurate and operationally maintainable. Working closely with Architecture, Quality, IT/OT Delivery, Automation teams and system vendors, the role will establish reusable integration patterns and support delivery through qualification, hypercare and transition to operational support.Key ResponsibilitiesOT Integration Delivery- Lead the detailed design, configuration, development, testing and deployment of OT integrations.- Deliver integrations with DeltaV, Syncade MES, PI Historian and plant-side LIMS connectivity.- Deliver OT operational applications and plant-side visualisation capabilities where required.- Ensure integration deliverables are completed on schedule, within budget and to agreed quality standards.- Coordinate site automation teams, external partners and technology vendors.OT Platform Configuration & Development- Configure and develop OT solutions using Ignition, HiveMQ, MQTT, industrial gateways and related integration services.- Define and implement message structures, topic structures, interfaces, mappings and data transformations.- Establish reusable, modular and version-controlled configurations.- Implement monitoring, diagnostics, exception handling and recovery capabilities.- Ensure clear boundaries between OT integration components and IT-managed infrastructure.Manufacturing Data & Context Integration- Own source-to-target mapping of manufacturing data into approved ODH information models.- Integrate data relating to batches, materials, equipment, recipes, process operations, unit procedures, parameters, events, samples and quality information.- Ensure data mappings preserve business meaning and semantic relationships.- Create documentation that supports traceability, testing and lifecycle maintenance.Vendor-Supported Integration- Work closely with Emerson and other technology vendors to establish sustainable and supported integration approaches.- Ensure compatibility with product roadmaps and future upgrade paths.- Avoid unsupported customisations and high-maintenance point-to-point integrations.- Evaluate solutions based on scalability, cybersecurity, supportability and total cost of ownership.Network Assessment & Integration Strategy- Lead OT connectivity assessments across manufacturing environments.- Assess existing DCS, MES, Historian and laboratory system integrations.- Define integration readiness criteria and identify key dependencies, constraints and gaps.- Develop reusable integration patterns and implementation approaches for future deployments.- Contribute to long-term OT integration blueprints and rollout planning.Engineering & DevSecOps- Ensure OT code and configurations are version controlled and managed through appropriate release processes.- Support automated deployment and repeatable delivery methods where appropriate.- Define regression testing, configuration management and rollback strategies.- Establish standards, templates and guidance for future OT integration deployments.Quality, Validation & Operational Readiness- Produce technical specifications, configuration records and testing documentation.- Ensure reliable, complete and traceable manufacturing data transfers.- Support qualification and validation activities within regulated environments.- Ensure compliance with GMP, CSV/CSA, cybersecurity, change-control and data integrity requirements.- Support hypercare activities and transition solutions into long-term support structures.Vendor & Partner Management- Manage work delivered by automation teams, implementation partners, system integrators and third-party vendors.- Define scopes of work, deliverables, acceptance criteria and implementation responsibilities.- Monitor delivery performance and resolve technical issues and dependencies.- Verify quality of delivered configurations, documentation and knowledge transfer.- Provide clear progress and delivery reporting to programme leadership.Required Qualifications- Bachelor's or Master's Degree
