Solution architect
Concept, specifications, evaluation and technical decision record.
Delivery model / Five stages
From assessment to operational value.
Select a single work package or engage for a complete technical lifecycle with appropriate specialist resources and external teams.
Delivery model
The five stages
Stage 1: Assess
Evaluate feasibility, engineering risks, ROI, CAPEX/OPEX, TCO and operational requirements.
Stage 2: Select
Evaluate technologies, prepare RFQs, compare suppliers and support the purchase decision.
Stage 3: Engineer
Define the system concept, interfaces, technical scope and acceptance criteria.
Stage 4: Deliver
Coordinate implementation, installation, FAT/SAT, commissioning and handover.
Stage 5: Optimize
Provide post-commissioning reviews, troubleshooting, training, OEE and ongoing technical support.
Flexible engagements
Engage for one stage. Or the whole lifecycle.
Work as a solution architect, as a client-appointed technical representative/project leader, or as a commissioning lead — individually or as an agreed combination.
- A
Single-stage assessments
- B
Full project ownership
- C
Client technical representation
- D
On-site missions
- E
Post-commissioning retainers
Engagement roles
Three engineering roles. One integrated approach.
Role 01: Solution architect & technical advisor
Translate business and operational needs into functional requirements, compare technical solutions, define interfaces and review engineering decisions.
Outputs: Concept, specifications, evaluation and technical decision record.
Role 02: Technical project manager & owner’s engineer
Represent the client within an agreed mandate; coordinate engineering teams, suppliers, schedules, project risks, contract requirements, technical reviews and acceptance recommendations.
Outputs: Execution plan, supplier reviews, progress reports and acceptance advice.
Role 03: Commissioning manager & site technical lead
Coordinate installation readiness, configuration, troubleshooting, FAT/SAT, commissioning, start-up and structured operational handover.
Outputs: Test plan, commissioning procedures, issue log and handover pack.
What each role leaves behind
Documented outputs. Decisions you can trace.
Every engagement produces working documents the client keeps: assumptions are written down, comparisons are structured, acceptance advice is explicit.
Owner’s engineer
Execution plan, supplier reviews, progress reports and acceptance advice.
Commissioning lead
Test plan, commissioning procedures, issue log and handover pack.
Mandate & independenceCommercial arrangements may be client-funded, supplier-funded or mixed; any relevant supplier remuneration or conflict of interest is disclosed. Duties and formal approvals follow the agreed mandate and applicable law.
Let’s define the next engineering decision.
Whether you are choosing a machine, planning a robotics application or delivering an industrial project, start with a focused conversation about requirements, risks and the decision ahead.
