Role OverviewWe are seeking an experienced Senior Azure Architect to design and govern the Azure platform that supports the company’s upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
What You Will Do
The role balances innovation (analytics, AI, digital twins) against the realities of the industry: remote and offshore sites with limited connectivity, safety-critical systems, strict cyber and regulatory requirements, and very large data volumes.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and well-respected organization offering tremendous career growth potential.
Requirements
- 12-16 years in IT infrastructure or cloud engineering, with 8+ years of hands-on Azure architecture experience.
- Proven delivery of enterprise Azure environments: multi-subscription landing zones, hybrid connectivity (ExpressRoute, VPN) and large migrations.
- Experience in oil and gas, energy, utilities, mining or other asset-heavy industry, with understanding of how OT and IT differ in risk, change control and availability expectations.
- Deep expertise across Azure compute, networking, storage, identity and security services.
- Strong Infrastructure as Code skills (Terraform and/or Bicep) and CI/CD experience.
- Experience designing for large-scale data platforms and for HA/DR of mission-critical systems.
- Working knowledge of OT security principles (Purdue model, network segmentation, IEC 62443 concepts).
- Excellent communication, ability to work credibly with both IT and operations stakeholders.
- Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) or equivalent hands-on credibility.
