BIM Manager in Reading

BIM Manager – Nuclear Infrastructure Programme

Location: Berkshire (hybrid: 3 days on site, 2 from home or the London office)
Contract: Permanent, on a multi-year programme
Relocation: Support available for UK moves
Clearance: UK nationals only. You’ll need to get SC clearance.

The client

Our client is a global engineering, project management and construction business. It works across infrastructure, nuclear, security, energy, mining and advanced manufacturing. Here it’s providing project management and engineering services to a major UK nuclear programme: a multi-billion-pound investment in nuclear and non-nuclear facilities. The work is at conceptual design stage, so this hire will set the digital standards the rest of the programme follows.

The role

You’ll own the programme’s information management strategy and look after the Common Data Environment, the single source of truth for everything the engineering teams produce. You’ll set up and run the CDE, train people on it, and work closely with the quality and document control teams. It’s a leadership role. You’ll be leading client workshops and setting the requirements that contractors work to through tendering.

What you’ll be doing

• Running workshops with the client, partners and stakeholders to build the information management strategy, including the EIR, AIR and BEPs
• Writing the contract language that passes EIR requirements down to contractors at RFP and tender stage
• Maintaining BIM management plans and digital workflows in line with ISO 19650 and client standards
• Configuring, governing and supporting the CDE, and training teams to use it
• Rolling out naming conventions, asset tagging, WBS and other coding systems
• Auditing BEP compliance, recording lessons learned and improving how things are done
• Building dashboards to track BIM and GIS use cases across design and construction

What you’ll need

• A degree in engineering
• Chartered Engineer status (ICE or equivalent)
• At least 12 years’ experience, with 5 or more in a BIM management role
• Advanced skills in BIM 360, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, InfraWorks and AutoCAD
• A thorough working knowledge of ISO 19650
• Experience building project BIM templates, standards, classification systems and master data models
• Familiarity with BIM-enabled quantity take-off and estimating tools (Assemble, CostOS or similar)
• An understanding of different delivery models: D&B, DBB, IPD and lean
• Good training and technical writing skills, and the ability to explain digital delivery to anyone from site teams to the board
• Nuclear or other regulated-sector experience is a bonus
