About the job you're considering

OT Framework IIoT Architect - East England - Hybrid

Are you passionate about the future of smart infrastructure? We're looking for an innovative OT Framework IIoT Architect to help shape the next generation of water infrastructure through cutting-edge Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions.

This is a key role in our infrastructure enhancement programme, where you'll design and implement scalable, secure, and sustainable IIoT systems that drive operational efficiency and environmental resilience.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your role

• Design and maintain a future-ready IIoT architecture aligned with business goals and AMP8 objectives
• Develop secure, scalable IIoT solutions that integrate with OT systems like SCADA, PLCs, and industrial networks
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and deliver IIoT opportunities in pipeline and recycling centre upgrades
• Create technical specifications and design documentation for IIoT implementations
• Evaluate and recommend IIoT devices, sensors, and communication protocols
• Develop strategies for data collection, processing, and analytics to support predictive maintenance and decision-making
• Ensure IIoT solutions support climate resilience and ecological sustainability
• Partner with cybersecurity teams to ensure secure deployments
• Lead proof-of-concept and pilot projects for new IIoT technologies
• Stay current with IIoT trends and assess their relevance to the water sector
• Mentor team members and share best practices in IIoT design and deployment
• Work with vendors and partners to ensure seamless integration into the OT framework

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.

Your skills and experience

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master's preferred)
• 8+ years of experience in IT/OT systems, with 5+ years focused on IIoT architecture and implementation
• Strong knowledge of IIoT technologies, protocols (e.g., MQTT, LoRaWAN), and edge computing
• Experience with cloud platforms and services for IIoT data management
• Familiarity with OT systems (SCADA, PLCs, industrial networks)
• Understanding of industrial communication protocols and network architectures
• Experience with data analytics and machine learning in IIoT contexts
• Knowledge of security standards (e.g., IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82)
• Relevant certifications in IIoT, cloud, or industrial networking are a bonus

Don't meet every single requirements? Studies have shown women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Your security clearance

To be successfully appointed to this role you will need to undergo Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks.

There are no nationality or residency restrictions, although if you have resided outside of the UK within the last 3 years, further checks may be required.

There are other criteria and checks required for BPSS, and throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
