Enterprise Architect - Engineering / Maintenance & Repair Programme
UK (Hybrid) | 6-Month Contract | £Competitive day rate (Inside IR35) | Major enterprise transformation programme
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Enterprise Architect to play a pivotal role in a major engineering transformation programme. This position sits within a large-scale technology modernisation initiative and will provide architectural leadership across a complex engineering estate, helping to shape the future technology roadmap, governance model and target architecture.
