Transformation Architect (Utility Industry Solutions)

Transformation Architect (Utility Industry Solutions)

Position Description
Must be able to travel to the client locations across GTA.

The Transformation Architect (Utility Industry Solutions) is a strategic, client-facing technical leader who helps utility organizations define and implement modernized, integrated, and future-ready technology ecosystems. This role focuses on understanding how utility systems operate together—across operational technologies, enterprise platforms, data flows, and business processes—to support digital transformation initiatives. The architect will help design solutions, develop IT roadmaps, and guide transformation programs across multiple utility clients.

Your future duties and responsibilities
. Lead the development of solution architectures that modernize utility operations, improve system integration, and enhance data flow across the enterprise.
. Work with clients to create IT and digital transformation roadmaps, covering future-state architectures, modernization planning, and integration approaches.
. Analyze client environments to understand system landscape, business processes, data dependencies, and operational workflows across the utility value chain.
. Provide industry expertise across core utility domains (e.g., distribution operations, outage response, metering, asset and work management) without requiring deep specialization in every platform.
. Evaluate how major utility platforms (OMS, ADMS, AMI, GIS, Asset Management, Workforce Management) interact, integrate, and share data to support end to end processes.
. Identify opportunities to optimize operations using improved integration, data architecture, automation, and emerging technologies.
. Support solutioning and pre sales efforts by defining architecture options, integration patterns, and transformation approaches for client initiatives.
. Collaborate with delivery teams to ensure architectural consistency, quality, and governance throughout implementation.
. Contribute to internal best practices, reference architectures, and reusable integration patterns.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role
. 10+ years of experience in the utility industry, either in consulting or industry roles, spanning areas such as distribution operations, metering, asset management, or customer operations.
. Strong understanding of how key utility systems work together—including OMS, ADMS, AMI, GIS, EAM, and WFM—and how data flows between them.
. Experience designing or advising on integrated, enterprise-scale solutions within complex environments.
. Knowledge of IT/OT integration, data architecture, system interfaces, and enterprise integration patterns.
. Ability to translate business processes and operational needs into architectural designs and technology roadmaps.
. Strong communication and leadership skills, capable of guiding clients and influencing decision-making.
. Experience leading architectural discussions and working with multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications
. Familiarity with major vendor platforms and their typical roles in the utility ecosystem (e.g., Oracle, SAP, ESRI, Microsoft, Itron, GE, Schneider).
. Understanding of grid modernization initiatives, operational data management, or enterprise data platforms.
. Experience with architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF) or structured consulting methodologies.
. Exposure to AI/ML, automation, or analytics technologies as part of broader transformation programs (not required as a primary skill).
