Overview

We are seeking to hire experienced Data Solution Architects in the Data & AI Architecture team of Deloitte's AI & Data offering. Data is the key enabler for the rapid growth journey across the Energy Resources & Industrials industries. Our team delivers transformational data solutions to our Energy Resources & Industrial clients that benefit our clients, their customers and any relevant government agencies or regulators.

The Energy Resources & Industrial industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the increasing importance of data and analytics. Enterprises are turning to decentralised data management approaches such as Data Mesh and disruptive technologies to build innovative and domain-oriented data products. A well-designed data solution architecture sits at the core of our clients’ strategy to enable the effective deployment of advanced analytics and AI models.

Our Data & AI Architecture team specializes in ‘designing for data’: how to source it, how to store it, how to structure it, how to transform it, and how to consume it for data-centric functionality including data APIs, data monetisation, Gen AI, machine learning, management information, and reporting.

Joining Deloitte provides access to strong training and learning opportunities. You will work in fast-paced teams with talented, motivated colleagues and can discuss flexible working arrangements to suit outcomes for our people and clients.
