• Define and manage the Exchange & Information Requirements (EIR) in line with recognised industry standards, internal governance, and ongoing development. This includes reviewing tender returns for projects, in particular, the project specific BEP (BIM Execution Plan(s)) and other supporting information to IT and GIS for example.
• Serve as a direct line to lead all project‑specific digital information. This includes, but is not limited to, contractor and supplier engagement, problem‑solving technical and information‑management related queries, and managing data from a host of integrated software, systems, and technology.
• Support the Document Control in setting up and managing project spaces within the Common Data Environment (CDE) in line with BS EN ISO 19650 processes, plus project and business‑specific requirements.
• Lead the BIM Coordinators in performing model interrogation, coordination, federation, and clash detection processes between package contractors to ensure design‑related issues are identified to facilitate the decision process.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience as either a Lead BIM Coordinator, BIM or Information Manager on major infrastructure projects, preferably using BIM360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). Knowledge of other typical CDEs is also welcomed.
• Extensive experience in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and modelling preferably for energy or linear and vertical infrastructure projects such as converter stations, substations, overhead lines, cables. Experience in 2D and 3D CAD, e.g. AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks and other modelling authoring or coordination tools linked to these software packages.
• Experience in GIS applications would be desirable, preferably using Esri GIS and Autodesk communication tools in projects for effective design data management.
• Knowledge of ISO 19650 and UK BIM Framework guidance and industry‑standard best practices and processes for information management. Project‑management experience will be an advantage.
• Practical knowledge and experience in model coordination, clash detection and federation across multiple workstreams, including working knowledge of Navisworks or similar systems, and model coordination/clash and federation functionality across various Common Data Environment (CDE)s.
