As a result of the ICT department restructure a vacancy has arisen for a full time permanent position for the role of ICT Technical Architect.

The successful candidate will assist the Principal Architects in the design and implementation of secure and resilient technical architectures for major change initiatives. You would do this by translating and aligning customer’s business requirements into solution blueprints, taking account of target environments, processes, performance requirements, existing systems and services as well as any potential security related aspects. You will also provide advice and guidance to non-EA delivered initiatives, acting as a consultant to local technical managers on more complex initiatives to ensure that overarching architectural principles are reflected in the overall designs.

You will be required to work across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, attend meetings (BCH & regionally) and to liaise and work with staff in different locations, therefore the ability to travel is essential. This role will be based at either Kempston, Huntingdon or Welwyn Garden City dependent on the successful candidate’s preference.

As part of the role, you will be given a Market Rate Supplement of 14.1%.

The successful candidate must have the following skills and experiences:

• Educated to HND or NVQ Level 4/5 in an appropriate subject or at least 3 years equivalent proven industry experience
• ITIL Foundation
• Experience of working in partnership with external consultancies and strategic technology partners
• Highly supportive of the business and its ideals and strategies
• Proven record in technology, network or application architecture planning, design and implementation including systems integration work
• Excellent communications skills – both producing high-quality documentation, and being able to communicate the same to a wider variety of staff at all levels
• Neutral toward technology, vendor and product choices; more interested in results than in personal preferences and unflappable in the face of opposition to architectural ideals
• Highly motivated, innovative and flexible within excellent time management skills
• Good people management skills and the ability to communicate with non-technical staff at all levels
• Personal integrity and diplomacy skills
• Desire to deliver to a high level of customer service

The following are desirable:
• ITIL Intermediate Service Design
• BCS - Enterprise and Solutions Architecture Intermediate Certification or equivalent experience
• Experience with standard methodologies and approaches such as TOGAF and Zachman.
