About the role

Solution Architect designing end-to-end solutions for key initiatives at a major engineering group. Collaborating with teams to align solutions with architecture and produce clear HLA/HLD artefacts.

Responsibilities

Work with the Senior Enterprise Architect, Business Architects, and domain SMEs (Data, Security, Integration) to design end-to-end solutions for priority projects.
Produce clear, pragmatic High Level Architectures (HLA) and High Level Designs (HLD) that describe how applications, integrations, data flows, and security controls fit together.
Ensure all solution designs align with architecture principles, patterns, and guardrails agreed in the EA operating model.
Participate in and support the Architecture Review Board (ARB) and working groups, presenting solutions and addressing feedback.
Collaborate with Business stakeholders to translate requirements and constraints into simple, viable solution options with trade-offs.
Work closely with Data and Integration Architects on interfaces, APIs, data flows, and non-functional requirements (availability, performance, resilience, monitoring).
Provide technical guidance to project teams during design and early implementation phases, ensuring designs remain consistent with the agreed HLD.
Contribute to the EA repository with reusable patterns, reference designs, and lessons learned from pilot projects.
Support 1-2 pilot projects going end-to-end through the new EA workflow during the first phase of the engagement.
Help refine Intelance’s internal solution architecture templates and methods based on what works in practice.

7+ years’ experience as a Solution Architect in complex, multi-system environments.
Proven track record designing solutions that span applications, integrations, and data, not just a single product or module.
Comfortable producing HLA/HLD with standard notations (C4, UML, sequence diagrams, context/container diagrams) and keeping them at the right level of detail.
Experience working in project-driven industries (engineering, construction, energy, utilities, manufacturing, or similar) or other environments with large, complex projects and programmes.
Strong understanding of non-functional requirements (availability, scale, performance, security, supportability) and how they impact design.
Able to work with both business and technical stakeholders, explaining solution options in clear, non-jargon language.
Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on-site visits to Casablanca and/or London).

Key role in shaping real solutions for a major engineering and project-delivery group as they formalise their Enterprise Architecture capability.
Work in a small, senior team that values practical, implementable designs – not endless PowerPoint.
Hybrid working model – remote by default, with targeted on-site trips for high-impact workshops and reviews.
Exposure to Intelance’s broader EA, Cybersecurity, and AI work, with the chance to influence how solution architecture fits across multiple clients.
Competitive compensation with options for freelance / Ltd company engagement or longer-term collaboration.
Direct access to Intelance leadership and the opportunity to help refine our solution architecture patterns and accelerators.
