Principal Specialist Data Modeling & Arch (Operational Technology)

About the Role

Ma’aden is seeking a Principal Specialist, Data Modeling & Arch (Operational Technology). This full-time role is responsible for establishing the foundational data modeling and architecture for Operational Technology (OT) and industrial data across various plants, sites, and operational systems. The specialist will enable trusted OT analytics by standardizing how critical operational data is represented, governed, and aligned with enterprise IT data products.

Key Responsibilities

• Define enterprise OT data modeling standards for time-series data, events, alarms, assets, tags, measurements, and production contexts.
• Establish canonical OT concepts, including asset hierarchy, location hierarchy, tag naming, measurement definitions, and work order linkage.
• Design scalable data schemas for curated OT layers and reusable OT data products, ensuring auditability, lineage, and quality attributes.
• Ensure modeling patterns effectively address high-volume industrial data, latency requirements, site variability, and intermittent connectivity.

Data Alignment and Integration

• Architect OT-to-IT data alignment patterns that connect operational measurements with enterprise entities for comprehensive reporting and analytics.
• Align data from historians, SCADA/DCS, condition monitoring, maintenance, reliability, and production systems with enterprise data products.
• Define integration rules for tag mapping, unit standardization, reference data, semantic consistency, and cross-site normalization.
• Support cross-domain analytics by ensuring OT data is usable for insights related to reliability, production performance, safety, sustainability, and cost.

Accelerating Data Initiatives

This role will accelerate site onboarding, tag normalization, unit standardization, and data model reuse through the development and application of practical reference patterns. The objective is to streamline data processes and enhance efficiency across operational technology environments.

Qualifications and Experience

• A minimum of 10 years of relevant experience is required for this position.

Application Process

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply. Salary details will be discussed during the interview process.
