About the Role
The Data Centre market represents one of the largest and fastest-growing opportunities within Real Estate Digital. Accelerated by global investment in cloud infrastructure, AI, hyperscale campuses and mission-critical facilities, clients are seeking increasingly sophisticated digital capabilities to support the planning, delivery and operation of their assets. We are seeking an experienced BIM Manager to lead the PMC BIM function on a major data centre project. The role provides project-wide governance and assurance, connecting client requirements with the work of designers, contractors, vendors and specialist package teams. You will make BIM practical, controlled and decision-focused, ensuring models, data and workflows support safe, coordinated delivery and a reliable handover.

Key responsibilities include leading BIM delivery for the PMC from design mobilisation through construction, close-out and handover, acting as the primary point of contact for BIM-related matters. You will onboard architects, engineers, vendors and specialist package contractors to the project BIM processes, workflows, owner requirements and common data environment. Leading BIM kick-off sessions, reviewing BIM content within project mobilisation materials and ensuring delivery teams understand their obligations are essential.

Additional duties involve reviewing, developing and maintaining the BIM Execution Plan, supporting standards, model matrix, information requirements and agreed workflows. Managing compliance with client BIM requirements, including quality, structure, coordination and timely submission of models and drawings. Planning and undertaking model quality-control and model-health reviews using approved tools; assigning issues to model owners and monitoring corrective action.

Establishing and managing clash-detection and multidisciplinary coordination processes, administering the CDE including permissions, issues, checklists, RFIs, review workflows and model submission processes. Monitoring model interface points, asset and data population, model package splits, model-freeze dates and other BIM milestones. Chairing or coordinating weekly BIM meetings with designers, contractors and specialist package BIM leads; escalating unresolved risks through PMC governance.

Maintaining BIM dashboards and portfolio reporting, providing clear visibility of compliance, issues, trends, close-out readiness and delivery risk. Coordinating closely with the BIM Field Engineer to ensure site-verification findings, scan comparisons and construction deviations are reflected in model coordination and close-out. Leading BIM close-out including submission planning, review workflows, drawing-index and model-matrix reconciliation, redline and as-built review, approvals and packaging of native deliverables.

This is an opportunity to play a visible role in the delivery of a complex, technology-led data centre programme. You will work within an integrated PMC team, helping clients and delivery partners turn digital requirements into reliable decisions, coordinated delivery and assured handover.

Experience
Significant BIM management or digital delivery experience on complex construction programmes, ideally data centres, advanced manufacturing, life sciences or similarly services-intensive projects. Experience working for or alongside a PMC, client, main contractor, design consultant and specialist supply chain in a multi-party delivery environment. Demonstrable experience leading BIM mobilisation, coordination, assurance, reporting and handover across design and construction. Strong knowledge of information management principles and industry standards, including ISO 19650. Experience managing a common data environment and model review, approval and issue-management workflows.

About you
Leadership skills to set clear BIM expectations and create accountability across multiple organisations. An assurance mindset to test evidence, identify non-compliance and drive issues through to closure. Excellent communication skills to translate technical BIM requirements into practical actions for project and site teams. Commercial awareness to understand how information quality, coordination and late decisions affect cost, programme and risk. Strong stakeholder management to build effective relationships while confidently challenging underperformance or non-compliance. Highly organised with the ability to manage competing deliverables, recurring reviews, milestones and reporting without losing attention to detail.

Relevant degree, HNC/HND or equivalent experience in construction, engineering, architecture, BIM or digital delivery. Professional accreditation or recognised BIM/information management certification is desirable.
