New Today
Energy Jobline is the largest and fastest growing global Energy Job Board and Energy Hub. We have an audience reach of over 7 million energy professionals, 400,000+ monthly advertised global energy and engineering jobs, and work with the leading energy companies worldwide.
We focus on the Oil & Gas, Renewables, Engineering, Power, and Nuclear markets as well as emerging technologies in EV, Battery, and Fusion. We are committed to ensuring that we offer the most exciting career opportunities from around the world for our jobseekers.
We’re looking for a senior technical professional who wants to step into a broader technical architecture and design role. This role sits within a delivery-focused consulting environment and you’ll work under an established Head of Architecture when programmes require it but you’ll also have ownership of integration design and technical delivery on individual projects.
If you’re currently a Senior Developer, Integration Lead, or Technical Lead who enjoys shaping solutions as much as building them, this role is designed as a genuine step up.
What you’ll be doing
*
Designing and delivering integration solutions, APIs, and data flows for client projects
*
Acting as technical lead on delivery, guiding engineers and offshore teams
*
Producing pragmatic technical designs that balance quality, speed, and maintainability
*
Working with stakeholders to translate requirements into clear technical approaches
*
Implementing cloud integrations
*
Supporting data pipelines and integrations that feed analytics or AI-enabled use cases
*
Contributing to CI/CD and modern delivery practices
*
Operating confidently in a client-facing consulting role
You won’t be expected to define enterprise-wide architecture across multiple programmes. Strategic and enterprise architecture responsibility is already in place and available to support you.
What we’re looking for
*
Strong background as a Senior Developer, Integration Engineer, or Technical Lead
*
Hands-on experience designing and building APIs and integrations
*
Solid understanding of data integration patterns and data flows
*
Comfortable owning technical design for a project or workstream
*
Interest in AI-enabled solutions or data-driven systems (hands-on ML experience not required)
*
The attitude and ambition to grow into a broader architectural role over time
Why this role?
*
Clear progression path from technical lead to senior technical architect
*
Support from an established Head of Architecture
*
Varied project work rather than a single internal system
*
A consulting environment that values delivery, not just diagrams
*
Real opportunity to influence how solutions are designed and delivered
Package
*
Salary: £60,000–£70,000
*
Private healthcare
*
Pension
*
Life assurance
*
Employee assistance programme
*
Headspace subscription
*
Birthday leave
*
Flexible working within a hybrid model
This role does not offer visa sponsorship
