Factory Architect – P2 and Manufacturing IT/OT Integration



For our client Tetra Pak, we are looking for an experienced Factory Architect with deep knowledge of manufacturing architecture, IT/OT integration and Tetra Pak’s internal P2 environment.



The Factory Architect will define and govern the end-to-end architecture for the factory domain. The role connects business and engineering needs with technology decisions, ensuring that manufacturing processes, applications, data, integrations, infrastructure and operational technology evolve as a coherent architecture.



A central part of the assignment is the architecture surrounding P2 and its integration with factory machinery and manufacturing systems. The successful consultant must therefore understand P2’s role in the factory landscape, including its information flows, interfaces, dependencies and operational impact.



Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the target architecture and architectural roadmap for the factory domain.
• Translate business and manufacturing requirements into scalable and sustainable technology solutions.
• Provide architectural guidance to programmes, Epics, product teams and engineering teams.
• Govern architectural decisions and ensure alignment with agreed standards, principles and target architecture.
• Manage architectural dependencies between P2, factory machinery, automation systems and surrounding IT/OT solutions.
• Define integration boundaries and information flows between the business, ERP and factory layers.
• Support the modernisation of legacy factory solutions while protecting operational stability and production continuity.
• Evaluate architectural decisions based on security, availability, performance, scalability, maintainability and lifecycle.
• Coordinate with stakeholders across business, manufacturing engineering, automation, IT, cybersecurity, infrastructure, integration and application development.
• Produce and maintain architecture documentation, integration views, transition architectures and architecture decision records.
• Required experience
• Several years of experience as a Factory Architect, Domain Architect, Enterprise Architect or Senior Solution Architect in a manufacturing environment.
• Deep knowledge of Tetra Pak’s internal P2 environment.
• Documented experience of the integration between P2 and factory machinery or manufacturing systems.
• Strong understanding of architecture spanning both IT and OT environments.
• Experience defining end-to-end architectures covering business processes, applications, integrations, data, infrastructure and technology.
• Experience with architecture governance, target architecture, architectural principles and solution reviews.
• Experience supporting complex programmes, Epics or product teams involving several systems and organisational units.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain architectural decisions to both business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Professional proficiency in English.



Meriting experience

• Previous architecture experience within Tetra Pak’s factory or manufacturing domain.
• Experience with ERP-to-machine or ERP-to-MES integration.
• Knowledge of MES, SCADA, PLC, industrial middleware or factory data platforms.
• Experience with production planning, production execution, traceability, quality, maintenance or shop-floor integration.
• Knowledge of industrial integration principles and standards such as OPC UA or ISA-95/IEC 62264.
• Experience with OT cybersecurity or IEC 62443.
• Experience with legacy modernisation and brownfield manufacturing environments.
• Knowledge of TOGAF, ArchiMate or another recognised architecture framework.
