The Solution Architect will design, own, and govern end‑to‑end technology solutions that enable business outcomes across Aecon’s operations. This role is accountable for translating business needs into scalable, secure, and well‑governed solutions, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards, cloud strategy, and long‑term business value.

Solution Design & Ownership

- Own the end‑to‑end solution design for assigned initiatives, from concept through delivery and operational handover.
- Partner with business stakeholders to understand business problems, processes, and objectives, and translate them into practical, value‑driven solutions.
- Define business, application, data, integration, security, and infrastructure architecture for solutions.
- Ensure solutions are scalable, resilient, secure, and aligned with Aecon’s enterprise architecture principles.

Cloud & Technology Architecture

- Design cloud‑based and hybrid solutions leveraging:
- AWS
- Microsoft Azure
- SAP landscapes (e.g., S/4HANA, SAP BTP, SAP‑integrated ecosystems)
- PaaS and low‑code platforms, including Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Dataverse)

- Select appropriate architectural patterns (e.g., event‑driven, API‑led, microservices, SaaS integrations).
- Guide delivery teams on cloud‑native design, cost optimisation, security, and operational best practices.
- Ensure proper use of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings where appropriate.

Governance & Assurance

- Participate in architecture review and governance forums to ensure solution compliance with Aecon standards.
- Evaluate solution options, trade‑offs, risks, and constraints, and clearly communicate recommendations to technical and non‑technical audiences.




- Produce and maintain architecture documentation, diagrams, and decision records.

Delivery & Collaboration

- Work closely with delivery teams (product, project managers, developers, vendors) to ensure architectural intent is implemented correctly.
- Provide ongoing architectural guidance during design, build, testing, and deployment.
- Support integration of solutions into the broader Aecon technology landscape.

- 7+ years of experience in IT, including solution architecture or senior technical design roles.
- Proven experience designing and owning enterprise or large‑scale business solutions.
- Hands‑on experience with AWS and/or Microsoft Azure in production environments.

- Integration patterns (APIs, event, middleware)
- Data architecture concepts
- Security and identity principles

- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.

Nice To Have
