About the Company
We're supporting an innovative engineering and robotics organisation operating within the offshore renewable energy sector. The business designs, manufactures, deploys and services highly specialised robotic equipment used in offshore environments worldwide. Following significant growth and multiple acquisitions, the organisation is embarking on a global business transformation programme that will consolidate a complex application landscape onto Microsoft Dynamics 365. This enterprise-wide programme will deliver a modern digital platform encompassing Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Asset Management, Project Operations, Field Service, CRM, Power Platform and Azure Integration Services across operations in the UK, Europe and North America.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect to take ownership of the overall solution design for a large-scale Dynamics 365 transformation programme. Working closely with the Programme Manager, Executive Sponsors, Functional Workstream Leads and Systems Integrator, you will act as the design authority across the entire Microsoft ecosystem and ensure the programme delivers a scalable, supportable and business-led solution. This role requires someone who can balance strategic architecture decisions with practical delivery considerations and has successfully architected complex, multi-workstream D365 programmes in manufacturing, engineering or asset-intensive environments. You'll be responsible for ensuring all workstreams align to a single solution vision whilst managing architecture governance throughout the programme lifecycle.
