This is a senior, hands-on leadership role where you will act as the design authority, shape long-term strategy, and retain critical architectural knowledge within the business.

The Opportunity

You’ll be responsible for defining and governing the enterprise data architecture, transforming fragmented legacy environments into a trusted, integrated and scalable data ecosystem. Working closely with senior stakeholders, suppliers, and transformation teams, you’ll influence investment decisions and ensure data remains a strategic business asset.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and maintain enterprise-wide data and information architecture aligned to strategic business objectives.
• Lead data architecture for large-scale ERP and EDMS transformation programmes.
• Establish data models, governance frameworks, metadata standards, lineage and quality controls.
• Design modern cloud-based data platforms and integration architectures using APIs, events and middleware technologies.
• Challenge and assure the work of systems integrators, vendors and implementation partners.
• Create data foundations that enable analytics, automation, AI and emerging digital construction initiatives.
• Own migration architecture, including profiling, cleansing, mapping, reconciliation and cutover activities.

Essential Experience

• Experience as an Enterprise Data Architect or senior data architecture professional.
• Proven experience leading architecture on major ERP or enterprise transformation programmes.
• Strong expertise in enterprise data modelling, master data management, metadata, governance and data quality.
• Experience designing modern cloud data platforms and enterprise integration solutions.
• Ability to operate as a design authority and influence stakeholders at executive and programme leadership level.

Desirable Experience

• Construction, engineering, infrastructure or other asset-intensive industries.
• Microsoft cloud data technologies and integration platforms.
• Experience with AI-enabled data foundations, semantic models and knowledge management.

Working Arrangement

This is a highly collaborative role requiring regular engagement with business leaders, programme teams and technology stakeholders. Candidates must be willing to work on-site four days per week with offices based across the South East or South West of England.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to shape the future data landscape of one of the UK's most recognised organisations. You’ll influence major transformation programmes, engage with C-suite stakeholders, and play a pivotal role in enabling data-driven decision making, digital construction and AI adoption across the enterprise.
