POSITION OVERVIEW

Infrastructure Enterprise Architect responsible for analyzing, modeling, and designing infrastructure capability architectures at the enterprise, capability, and solution levels. This role focuses on identifying gaps, overlaps, and dependencies across key NATO infrastructure domains such as air basing, maritime and land facilities, fuel systems, ammunition depots, and command structure buildings. Central to the position is the facilitation of a unified infrastructure ontology using the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF), enabling the integration of operational plans with infrastructure programs to support logical project structuring and alignment with regional plans. The architect supports capability requirement elicitation and traceability across all levels, ensuring consistency and clarity in architectural artifacts, while contributing to P3M planning, version control, and DOTMLPFI synchronization. The role also includes supporting the development of concepts of operation, courses of action, and coordinating enterprise-level infrastructure capability development within NATO's strategic objectives.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform analysis of existing NATO Infrastructure capability architectures and their modelling at enterprise, capability and solution level, including identification of gaps, overlaps, and dependencies among capabilities and related programmes.

• Maintain the architectural artefacts in their repositories ensuring version and configuration control.
• Support the development, analysis and review of concepts of operation, courses of action and alternatives. 1
• Coordinate DOTMLPFI development and implementation synchronization; support the development of recommended courses of action to resolve issues relating capability development.
