Salary: Starting at £64,680 up to £75,000 + Car Allowance + 38 Days Leave + LGPS Pension
Job Type: Permanent | Level: Senior Leadership

Are you a visionary architect ready to shape the future of critical national services? We're seeking a Digital Architecture Manager to lead end-to-end solution design across IT, OT, and cloud environments for one of Scotland's most vital infrastructure organisations.

This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to drive digital innovation that directly impacts millions, from smart infrastructure and AI-enabled services to real-time operational decision-making. You'll be at the forefront of a £40-£50 million digital investment portfolio, delivering resilient, future-ready solutions that underpin both business and environmental outcomes.

The Role

As Digital Architecture Manager, you'll take charge of solution-level design and governance across cloud platforms (Azure), operational technology, enterprise applications, and AI tooling. You'll ensure all technical solutions are secure, scalable, compliant, and aligned with strategic goals.

Working within the Digital Strategy & Platforms function, you'll translate business needs into enterprise-grade technical blueprints, lead a team of architects, and champion modern design principles such as security-by-design, DevOps, and cloud-native development.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll influence at all levels - from senior stakeholders to delivery teams - ensuring seamless integration across IT and OT systems, including Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and advanced AI services.

What You'll Bring

Proven experience leading architecture across large-scale digital transformation projects.

Deep technical knowledge of Azure, enterprise applications, cloud-native design, and cybersecurity best practices.

Strong understanding of regulated environments and compliance frameworks (NIS2, ISO27001).

Experience integrating IT with OT environments, including edge computing and IoT/SCADA.

Leadership skills to mentor architects and steer cross-functional technical delivery.

Knowledge of modern governance practices: DevOps, FinOps, cloud cost optimisation, and automation.

Certifications such as TOGAF, Azure Solutions Architect, or ITIL would be highly desirable. Experience in water, energy, or utilities sectors is a distinct advantage.

What's on Offer

Salary from £64,680, £75,000 with potential for progression

Monthly car allowance

38 days holiday (including public holidays)

Career-average Local Government Pension Scheme

Life assurance and flexible working options

Influence over a major national digital transformation

How to Find Hidden Edge Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & More

Edge computing is reshaping the way data is processed and delivered across industries—from real-time IoT in manufacturing to low-latency systems in healthcare, defence, and smart cities. With its growing influence, demand for UK-based edge computing professionals is rising rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers don’t realise: many edge computing jobs aren’t listed on public job boards. Instead, they’re shared through private networks, CPD events, special interest groups, and technical communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access these hidden job opportunities by engaging with professional bodies like the BCS, IET, TechUK, and niche edge computing communities. We’ll explore how to use directories, events, and collaborative ecosystems to position yourself at the front of the queue—before roles even go live.

How to Get a Better Edge Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from an edge computing role can feel like a serious setback—especially in a field as specialised and rapidly evolving as distributed computing. But edge computing remains a key growth area in the UK tech economy, with applications in autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, smart cities, telecoms, and defence. Whether you’re a cloud-edge integration engineer, embedded systems developer, IoT specialist, or network architect, there are real opportunities to reposition your career after redundancy. This guide offers a practical UK-focused plan to help you relaunch your career with confidence.

Edge Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads edge‑computing professionals today Ask an Edge Software Engineer debugging container images on a factory floor, an IoT Solutions Architect jostling latency and security, or a DevOps Lead deploying micro‑VMs on 5G towers: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes faster than the firmware you flashed last sprint. Retail chains move inferencing to store servers, autonomous vehicle start‑ups hoard FPGA talent, telcos monetise network slices, & every new use‑case nudges salary bands. A PDF survey printed in 2024 is already fossilised—missing the GPU shortages, fresh EU edge‑security directives, and the UK government’s Zero‑Carbon Edge computing grants that landed this spring. To give professionals an up‑to‑date benchmark, EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority, and you’ll get a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces driving pay higher, and lays out five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
