Yoh, A Day & Zimmermann Company

Program Architect ADMS Transformation
12+ month contract
Downtown Dallas (Hybrid)

Program Overview

The ADMS transformation program delivers a modern, integrated grid operations platform combining outage management (OMS), distribution management (DMS), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
The program spans:
Real-time grid monitoring and control
Outage detection and restoration
Network modeling and analytics
DER integration and orchestration
Integration with GIS, AMI, EMS, and enterprise systems
This initiative is a cornerstone of grid modernization, driving improved situational awareness, reliability, and scalability of distribution operations.
Success Metrics / Accountability
The Program Architect is accountable for delivering measurable outcomes, including:
System availability and uptime (e.g., 99.99% reliability targets)
Reduction in outage duration (SAIDI/SAIFI impact)
Architectural defect reduction and integration stability
Vendor delivery quality and adherence to architecture standards
Program risk reduction and predictability of delivery
Why This Role is Different
This is not a traditional architect role. It requires a rare combination of utility domain mastery, real-time systems expertise, and enterprise transformation leadership.
At this level, success is defined not by producing architecture but by ensuring the program delivers resilient, scalable, and future-ready grid operations capabilities at enterprise scale.

Key Accountabilities

Program Architecture Ownership (End-to-End)
Own the target state, transition states, and execution architecture roadmap for the ADMS program
Serve as the final decision authority for all program-level architectural trade-offs
Ensure architecture decisions are aligned to measurable business and operational outcomes
Enterprise Strategy Execution
Translate enterprise architecture strategy into actionable and enforceable program architecture
Define technology investment direction and challenge internal and vendor-driven roadmaps
Establish justified exceptions to enterprise standards where necessary
Vendor & System Integrator Governance
Own architectural governance across system integrators, vendors, and platform providers
Critically evaluate and challenge vendor solutions, designs, and delivery approaches
Prevent over-customization and ensure long-term platform sustainability and maintainability
Executive Influence & Leadership
Act as the primary architectural advisor to CIO/CTO, executive steering committees, and program leadership
Drive decision-making in high-impact, ambiguous situations
Communicate architecture trade-offs in clear, outcome-oriented language
Integration & Real-Time Systems Architecture
Define the integration architecture across ADMS ecosystem components
Lead design of real-time, event-driven, and high-availability architectures supporting SCADA and grid operations
Ensure alignment across IT/OT boundaries, including telemetry, control systems, and enterprise platforms
Risk, Complexity & Program Stabilization
Identify and mitigate systemic architectural risks across a multi-system, multi-year program
Lead architectural recovery efforts for at-risk or underperforming program components
Rapidly assess and re-baseline architecture where required to protect delivery outcomes
Delivery & Operational Readiness
Ensure architecture is deployable, operable, and production-ready
Define patterns for resilience, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and observability
Support go-lives, cutovers, and phased rollout strategies

Required Qualifications

15+ years in architecture, engineering, or senior technical leadership roles
15+ years in Electrical Utility / Energy domain
Proven leadership of large-scale transformation programs ($50M–$200M+)
Experience leading architecture across 10+ integrated systems and cross-functional teams
Demonstrated experience in mission-critical / control room systems environments
Proven track record in turnaround or stabilization of complex programs
ADMS Expertise (Mandatory)
Hands-on experience with AspenTech OSI ADMS or equivalent systems
Participation in at least one full ADMS implementation lifecycle (design ? deployment ? stabilization)
Deep understanding of OMS, DMS, SCADA, and grid operations workflows
Technical Depth
Real-time systems architecture and low-latency data processing (SCADA/telemetry)
Event-driven and streaming architectures
High-availability and fault-tolerant design patterns for mission-critical systems
Data synchronization strategies across operational and enterprise platforms
IT/OT convergence and cybersecurity (NERC CIP awareness preferred)
Leadership & Influence
Demonstrated ability to lead without authority across federated teams
Strong decision-making under ambiguity and competing priorities
Proven ability to challenge stakeholders, vendors, and delivery teams constructively
Communication
Exceptional executive communication skills
Ability to translate architecture into business outcomes, risks, and trade-offs
Produces concise, decision-driven artifacts

Estimated Max Rate : $180.00
