About the job you’re considering​

OT Framework IIoT Architect - East England - Hybrid

Are you passionate about the future of smart infrastructure? We’re looking for an innovative OT Framework IIoT Architect to help shape the next generation of water infrastructure through cutting-edge Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions.

This is a key role in our infrastructure enhancement programme, where you’ll design and implement scalable, secure, and sustainable IIoT systems that drive operational efficiency and environmental resilience.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.​

​If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: ​identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)​



Your role

  • Design and maintain a future-ready IIoT architecture aligned with business goals and AMP8 objectives

  • Develop secure, scalable IIoT solutions that integrate with OT systems like SCADA, PLCs, and industrial networks

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and deliver IIoT opportunities in pipeline and recycling centre upgrades

  • Create technical specifications and design documentation for IIoT implementations

  • Evaluate and recommend IIoT devices, sensors, and communication protocols

  • Develop strategies for data collection, processing, and analytics to support predictive maintenance and decision-making

  • Ensure IIoT solutions support climate resilience and ecological sustainability

  • Partner with cybersecurity teams to ensure secure deployments

  • Lead proof-of-concept and pilot projects for new IIoT technologies

  • Stay current with IIoT trends and assess their relevance to the water sector

  • Mentor team members and share best practices in IIoT design and deployment

  • Work with vendors and partners to ensure seamless integration into the OT framework

    You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.​

    Your skills and experience​

  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred)

  • 8+ years of experience in IT/OT systems, with 5+ years focused on IIoT architecture and implementation

  • Strong knowledge of IIoT technologies, protocols (e.g., MQTT, LoRaWAN), and edge computing

  • Experience with cloud platforms and services for IIoT data management

  • Familiarity with OT systems (SCADA, PLCs, industrial networks)

  • Understanding of industrial communication protocols and network architectures

  • Experience with data analytics and machine learning in IIoT contexts

  • Knowledge of security standards (e.g., IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82)

  • Relevant certifications in IIoT, cloud, or industrial networking are a bonus

    Don’t meet every single requirements? Studies have shown women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.​

    Your security clearance

    To be successfully appointed to this role you will need to undergo Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks. ​

    There are no nationality or residency restrictions, although if you have resided outside of the UK within the last 3 years, further checks may be required.​

    There are other criteria and checks required for BPSS, and throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.

    What does ‘Get The Future You Want ‘ mean for you?​

    You will be encouraged to have a positive work-life balance. Our hybrid-first way of working means we embed hybrid working in all that we do and make flexible working arrangements the day-to-day reality for our people. All UK employees are eligible to request flexible working arrangements. You’d be joining an accredited Great Place to work for Wellbeing in 2024. Employee wellbeing is vitally important to us as an organisation. We see a healthy and happy workforce a critical component for us to achieve our organisational ambitions. ​
    To help support wellbeing we have trained ‘Mental Health Champions’ across each of our business areas, and we have invested in wellbeing apps such as Thrive and Peppy. You will reimagine what’s possible: creating value for the world’s leading organisations through technology to build a sustainable, more inclusive future. You will work with a range of clients all with a unique set of business, technological and societal ambitions, which will make a real impact across the UK.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
