About The Position

The Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) Solution Architect is an advanced individual contributor who designs, configures, integrates, and continually improves OPC solutions supporting Global Program Controls and large-scale data center infrastructure delivery. The role combines expertise in OPC, project and program controls, scheduling, cost management, data architecture, and systems integration. The architect works autonomously on a range of moderately complex initiatives and partners across Program Controls, Construction, Engineering, Finance, Procurement, Technology, and other functions. The position may lead projects, workstreams, standards, and improvement initiatives, and includes mentoring junior team members and providing technical oversight. The architect translates business and program controls requirements into functional designs, configurations, workflows, data structures, and integration requirements. The role establishes and maintains OPC workspace, program, project, and portfolio architecture, configuration and operating documentation, templates, coding structures, calendars, cost breakdown structures, reporting hierarchies, workflows, and security models. It supports planning and scheduling, cost and budget control, forecasting, cash flow, change and contingency management, risk, progress measurement, and portfolio reporting. The position defines integration and data requirements across OPC and enterprise platforms, supports API-based and batch integrations, and works with technical and functional teams to address data quality, configuration, and integration issues. It also translates leadership and program controls reporting requirements into scalable reporting solutions, establishes solution governance, assesses enhancements, and leads continuous improvement initiatives. Implementation work may include requirements, specifications, configuration, data migration, testing, deployment, and post-production stabilization. The role is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
