Working across major programmes throughout the North of the UK, you will engage directly with clients, project leadership teams, suppliers and delivery partners to understand information challenges and implement practical, scalable solutions. This will include defining Information Management requirements and standards, developing governance arrangements, supporting CDE deployment and optimisation, and assuring information delivery across projects and programmes. 

The role extends beyond traditional BIM or document control activities. We are looking for individuals who can identify information-related risks, improve information flows across complex organisations and supply chains, and help project teams adopt more effective ways of working.
