Solution Architect (Asset Management)
Talent has partnered with Wellington Water to build a team for a key programme of work that will ensure the technology systems underpinning the delivery of water services are primed for the future.
We’re looking for people who are passionate about being part of a team that delivers essential services to our communities. You’ll enjoy a workplace with inclusivity at its core and be part of a team that’s united by passion, dedication, and fosters a shared care for water and their community.
The Opportunity
Wellington Water is implementing a new Asset Management Information System [AMIS] – but this role goes far beyond delivery. As the Asset Architect, you’ll shape the digital architecture and roadmap for the full asset digital ecosystem. You’ll align business needs with scalable, integrated solutions across GIS, AMIS, and data platforms. This is a hands-on, strategic architecture role that influences not just what gets built, but how the organisation matures its digital capability around asset management.
This role is a two-year fixed term contract.
Key responsibilities include:
- Define and maintain the target architecture and roadmap for all asset-related digital systems
- Align AMIS, GIS, and related systems with wider digital, business, and enterprise strategy
- Act as a trusted advisor, engaging closely with stakeholders across ops, planning, and digital teams
- Provide architectural leadership across digital change projects and vendor platforms
- Ensure systems are future-proofed and interoperable with platforms like FMIS, CRM, and data warehouses
About you
To be successful in this role you will bring:
- 7+ years in architecture or senior technical roles, with experience in asset-intensive sectors
- Strong understanding of asset lifecycle systems such as Maximo, SAP, Infor (Hexagon), or Oracle EAM
- Experience with GIS systems, cloud platforms, and integration with data and finance systems
- Proven ability to work in maturing, evolving organisations – comfortable with ambiguity
- Confident communicator with a collaborative mindset and strong stakeholder influencing skills
Benefits
Wellington Water’s purpose extends beyond delivering great water services for the region; they foster a thriving community, support a diverse workforce, and offer supportive development opportunities. Wellington Water genuinely care about your safety and wellbeing.
You’ll enjoy benefits including:
- Hybrid working arrangements
- 5 weeks annual leave following two years of continual service
- A comprehensive wellbeing programme, which includes a range of health benefits, discounted medical insurance and a paid wellbeing day
- Formal and informal professional development opportunities
- One paid day a year to participate in voluntary work on a water-related activity.
