Senior ICT Solution Implementer

Background

1. The Office of Parliamentary Counsel (OPC) has established a program of work, known as the Nimbus Program, which will enhance and modernise its ICT infrastructure. The program will be transformational and improve OPC’s cyber security capability, ICT stability, business application functionality, mobility, and exposure to risk.

OPC is currently in need of a singular Senior ICT solution Implementer to support the post-Nimbus Phase 1a activities such as support for our ICT service design, application management, cloud environment, completion of migration activities included in Nimbus scope, project management over existing vendors and managing OPC ICT products.

This need arises due to a skills and capacity gap within the existing team, to project manage the ICT product implementation services. The expertise required for this role is crucial to delivering the next phases of the Nimbus Program without delay.

When delivering the scope of work by the singular ICT Solution Implementer, OPC only requires the resource 1 day a week until 1 March 2026 and then full time from 1 March 2026 to 31 May 2026. This approach allows OPC to:

• manage costs efficiently during a lower workload period
• provide continuity and expertise for critical design, migration planning, and vendor coordination without over-resourcing; and
• from 1 March 2026 to 31 May 2026, the engagement shifts to full-time because this period will involve intensive implementation activities.
