Technical Architect

Job Description

Working on behalf of a local authority, Intech recruitment are looking for an experienced Technical Architect to commence by the beginning of July. 

Over the last few years, they’ve been on a huge transformation, bringing their ICT department back in-house. This is a big change for the business, as they re-establish the confidence in a wholly insourced service. It’s given them the opportunity to be ahead of the curve, adopting cutting-edge technology and innovating the structure of our systems. In fact, while other councils have only just started to think about an approach like this, they’re already using technology similar to the private sector. It’s an exciting opportunity to influence ‘what’s next’, connect their ICT department with the wider organisation, and deliver tangible, positive outcomes for both the council and our local community.

They are looking to strengthen their service bringing professional dedicated and skilled staff into their permanent structure. They have several vacancies in their teams and are keen to recruit candidates who can take responsibility, be open honest and respectful, actively listen and learn and work together to find solutions. As Technical Architect you’ll have accountability for managing the areas of technical support, and development together with an overarching technical design responsibility for the delivery of the Council's technology and applications portfolio. You’ll have the operational day-to-day authority and responsibility over all aspects of your workload, is able to influence and make decisions that are critical to the organisation’s success, and has a full range of management and leadership skills.

The demands of this role involve managing a number of competing activities, at times with demanding deadlines, on a regular basis, with a range of complexities, from a complex to tactical, including decisions that could impact the delivery of the service to the whole Council. In the absence of the Lead Enterprise and Service Design Architect this role will be required to deputise and act as the primary escalation point and communication channel to/from all other ICT teams with internal and external stakeholders.
