ArcGIS Utility Network Technical Architect
About the role
The ArcGIS Utility Network Technical Architect will guide both our client team and Accenture development teams through the definition, design, and implementation of Esri’s ArcGIS Utility Network. This role is crucial for balancing supply and demand, optimizing assets and teams, and driving towards net-zero emissions in T&D organizations.
Responsibilities
Lead the ArcGIS Utility Network Technical Architect for our client implementation, providing architectural direction across planning, design, build, and deployment phases.
Define and own the target ArcGIS Utility Network architecture, including domain networks, tiers, subnetworks, services, and integration patterns for electric and gas systems.
Lead the migration strategy from legacy GIS models to ArcGIS Utility Network, focusing on service-centric, API-driven access patterns.
Design and govern Utility Network data models, network rules, associations, and topology configurations supporting electric and gas distribution operations.
Guide functional and technical solutioning to ensure GIS capabilities support end-to-end utility workflows, including planning, design, construction, operations, outage response, and asset management.
Lead technical design for service-based integrations between GIS and enterprise systems such as EAM, Work Management, OMS, and field mobility platforms.
Provide hands-on technical leadership to GIS developers, data migration teams, and integration specialists, ensuring solution quality, scalability, security, and performance.
Identify architectural risks, performance considerations, and change management impacts associated with Utility Network adoption, and recommend mitigation strategies based on industry best practices.
Produce and maintain architecture and technical design artifacts, including solution architectures, service interaction diagrams, integration designs, and deployment models.
Lead and participate in architecture reviews, design workshops, and executive briefings with our client's business and IT stakeholders.
Qualifications
Extensive hands-on experience with the Esri ArcGIS platform, including ArcGIS Utility Network, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS REST APIs.
