Job Overview
- Presight — ADX listed, G42 backed, and the region's leading GenAI analytics company — is hiring a Solution Architect who is equally comfortable drawing integration blueprints and sitting in front of a client boardroom.
- This is not a purely pre sales or design role. We need someone who has lived inside data centre programmes from concept through commissioning, owned stakeholder relationships end to end, and can still roll up their sleeves when it matters.
Responsibilities
- End to end solution delivery — from requirements capture and HLD/LLD through SIT, UAT, and operational handover; you are the single technical authority across the programme.
- Stakeholder management — you run relationships with client executives, PMO leads, vendors, and cross functional delivery teams; you translate complex technical decisions into clear business outcomes.
- Integration architecture — BMS, DCIM, SCADA, CCTV/VMS, access control, fire alarm, and AI analytics platforms; multi vendor, multi protocol (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, REST).
- Programme governance — risk registers, CAPEX/OPEX modelling, BoMs, delivery planning, and executive reporting; you bridge engineering and programme management.
- Team leadership — mentoring engineers, setting technical standards, and ensuring quality across documentation, testing, and handover artefacts.
Must have experience
- 10+ years in solution architecture, systems engineering, or technical programme delivery within mission critical data centre or smart infrastructure environments.
- Proven track record of managing senior stakeholders — client C suite, government entities, or Tier 1 contractors — in a data centre or critical infrastructure context.
- Deep hands on experience with OT/BMS/SCADA/DCIM integration, not just at design level — you have implemented, tested, and commissioned these systems.
- Strong command of OT/IoT protocols: BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, REST/HTTP APIs.
- Comfortable owning CAPEX/OPEX estimates, BoMs, and TCO projections as part of solution design.
- Fluent in both engineering language and executive reporting — you do not need a PM to translate for you.
Nice to have
- Relevant certifications: CDCP, CDCS, CDCE (Uptime Institute), PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent.
- Exposure to digital twin, BIM, or AI/ML analytics platforms in an operations context.
- Background in system integrator firms or large scale infrastructure delivery programmes.
- Experience with cloud native IoT platforms (Azure IoT, Kafka).
What Presight offers
- A high visibility programme at the intersection of AI and critical national infrastructure in Abu Dhabi.
- Competitive package including healthcare, education support, and leave benefits.
- Direct access to G42 ecosystem and regional government programmes.
