Compensation Range:

Job Description Summary:

The Enterprise Solutions Architect (ESA) bridges business process design and enterprise solution architecture to deliver measurable outcomes across Swinerton. The ESA partners with business leaders, Product Managers/Solutions Managers , and delivery teams to (1) understand and improve end-to-end workflows, (2) translate requirements into solution options and recommendations, and (3) ensure designs align to enterprise standards and platform strategy.
In collaboration with the National Director of Product and Enterprise Architecture, the ESA is accountable for solution integrity (process, data, integration, security, and operability) and for creating clear line-of-sight from business outcomes to capabilities, systems/data, and delivered change. This role creates the shared "rails" that let teams move quickly without fragmentation by standardizing how solutions are designed and approved while enabling operating-company process variants where needed.

Strategic Leadership:

• Partner with BTech leadership to define and maintain solution architecture and process standards aligned to company objectives; translate strategy into capability and roadmap recommendations.
• Establish repeatable, scalable patterns for cross-company workflows spanning Swinerton Builders (estimate, contract, deliver, invoice), balancing standardization with necessary local variation.

Business Partnership and Facilitation:

• Facilitate discovery workshops to document current/future-state processes, pain points, controls, and exception paths, ensuring shared understanding and actionable outcomes.
• Elicit and manage functional and non-functional requirements (security, retention, performance, supportability) and translate them into prioritized epics/stories and backlogs.

Solution Delivery Enablement:

• Develop solution designs and integration approaches, including options/trade-offs (value, cost, risk, time, operability) and recommended paths forward.
• Partner with the PDO to define scope, milestones, dependencies, roles/ownership, and cutover approach; provide architecture guidance through delivery to reduce rework and improve adoption.

Architecture Standards and Operational Readiness:

• Contribute as a core ARB participant by preparing submissions, presenting options, incorporating feedback, and ensuring decisions/exceptions are documented and traceable.
• Ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for security, privacy, retention/eDiscovery, auditability, compliance, and operability, especially across cloud, data governance, and integration patterns.
• Maintain current solution-level artifacts (process maps, context diagrams, data flows/lineage, interface contracts/catalog) and ensure documentation is created/owned by the right domain teams using approved templates.

KPI Development and Value Realization:

• Define/track KPIs (adoption, cycle time, quality, productivity, risk reduction), use insights for continuous improvement, and present risks/recommendations with clear options to leadership.
• Stay current on industry trends and assess applicability to Swinerton's business and technology ecosystem.

Technology Evaluation:

• Partner with Emerging Tech & Pilots to support POCs/pilots, define success metrics, evaluate results, and recommend scale/iterate/stop.
• Identify delivery and operational risks early and drive mitigation plans to minimize disruption.
• Collaborate with security, procurement, and legal to ensure vendor/solution due diligence (data, integrations, support, SLAs).

Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
• 8+ years of experience in solution/enterprise architecture and/or business process analysis in complex enterprise environments
• Experience designing integrated solutions across enterprise applications (ERP/CRM/PM) and digital workplace ecosystems
• Working knowledge of integration patterns (APIs, event-based patterns, iPaaS) and interface design considerations
• Ability to connect business needs with technical capabilities, ensuring solutions are scalable and value-driven.

Skills:

• Strong process analysis toolkit (BPMN, value stream mapping, requirements elicitation, facilitation, and change impact assessment)
• Strong understanding of data domains, system-of-record decisions, data quality, and downstream reporting impacts
• Experience with real-time/streaming data solutions (e.g., Azure Event Hubs, Kafka, Spark Structured Streaming).
• Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
• Construction industry experience is preferred but not required.
• Proven ability to work independently in a remote or hybrid environment with minimal supervision, while adapting to shifting priorities and evolving business needs.
