  * Define target Utility Network business processes, including workflows, applications, integrations, operating models and governance patterns.

  * Lead and advise on best-practice approaches for migrating from legacy network models, including ArcGIS Geometric Network and other custom GIS models to ArcGIS Utility Network.

  * Translate electric and gas utility business requirements into scalable GIS workflows, processes, applications and service solutions.

  * Ensure GIS capabilities support E2E utility workflows, including planning, design, construction, field operations, outage response and asset management.

  * Provide functional leadership to delivery teams, ensuring solution quality, performance and operational continuity throughout the migrations.

Functional Requirement

  * Deep experience within electric and gas distribution utilities, with strong understanding of operational processes.

  * Proven ability to align GIS solutions to the needs of engineering, operations, control rooms, asset management and field teams.

  * Experience guiding organisations through the process, operational, and change impacts associated with adopting ArcGIS Utility Network and ArcGIS editing.

  * Hands on experience with the ESRI platform, including ArcGIS Utility Network, ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Pro.

  * Strong understanding of Utility Network architecture, including branch versioning, services, APIs and web GIS deployment models.

  * Experience integrating GIS with enterprise systems such as Enterprise Asset Management, Work Management, Outage Management Systems and field mobility solutions.

  * Ability to design secure, scalable, and future-ready GIS platforms aligned with enterprise IT standards
