About the Job
Lead the design of integrated airport technology solutions covering passenger processing (check-in, self-service kiosks, bag drop, boarding), baggage handling and reconciliation, common-use systems (CUPPS, CUSS, CUTE), and airport operational systems (AODB, RMS, FIDS, BHS interfaces).
Define target architectures and roadmaps spanning applications, data, integration, infrastructure, cloud, networks, and security, ensuring alignment to enterprise and industry reference models.
Produce and own high-level and low-level design artefacts, solution blueprints, interface specifications, and architecture decision records.

Requirements

• Significant experience as a solution or enterprise architect on large, complex technology programmes, with demonstrable delivery in the aviation, airport, or wider transport / critical-infrastructure sector.
• Strong understanding of airport operational systems and the IT/OT landscape — e.g. AODB, RMS, FIDS, BHS, CUPPS/CUSS/CUTE, BRS, A-CDM, and passenger flow / biometric processing.
• Proven, hands-on architecture across applications, integration, data, cloud (Azure / AWS / GCP), infrastructure, networks, and cyber security.

Skills & Experience

• Deep experience designing integration and interoperability between heterogeneous systems and multiple stakeholders, including industry standards such as IATA messaging and relevant ACI/IATA guidance.
• Track record of designing for high availability, resilience, and security in mission-critical, 24/7 operational environments.
• Excellent stakeholder management, facilitation, and written/verbal communication skills, comfortable engaging at C-level.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related discipline (or equivalent professional experience).
• Relevant architecture, cloud, and/or security certifications are strongly preferred.
