Solutions Architect

Solution Architect - Azure

Bristol / Hybrid £65,000 - £80,000 + Benefits SC Eligible Required

We're supporting a growing consultancy in the search for two Solution Architects to join their expanding Digital capability team.

These opportunities sit across major UK programmes within Defence and Critical Infrastructure, giving architects the chance to work on complex, high-impact transformation projects in secure and highly regulated environments.

One role will support a Defence-focused programme based in Bristol, while the second will support a nationally significant infrastructure programme. Both positions offer predominantly remote working, with travel to Bristol typically once per week and occasional travel to Ipswich or London where required. We're keen to speak with both experienced Solution Architects and those stepping into a more senior architecture leadership role.

The Role:

• You'll play a key role in designing secure, scalable and cost-effective digital solutions, working closely with delivery teams, engineering functions and senior stakeholders to translate business challenges into practical technical architectures.
• The role will involve a mix of:
• End-to-end solution architecture
• Cloud and Azure design
• Architecture governance and assurance
• Stakeholder engagement and technical leadership
• Supporting delivery teams through implementation
• Mentoring junior consultants and contributing to capability growth
• Projects are varied and may include cloud transformation, digital modernisation, system integration, data platforms and enterprise architecture initiatives.

What We're Looking For:

• We're interested in candidates with experience across some of the following:
• Solution Architecture within enterprise or consultancy environments
• Microsoft Azure and cloud-native architecture
• TOGAF or aligned architecture frameworks
• Secure system design and governance
• Agile delivery and DevOps environments
• Integration architecture, APIs and modern application design
• Stakeholder engagement across technical and non-technical teams
• Experience within government, defence, infrastructure or regulated environments would be beneficial
• For the more senior appointment, experience leading architecture teams, owning client engagements and contributing to business development activities would be advantageous.
