You'll:

• Lead digital engineering and information management activities across major transport projects.
• Develop and implement BIM Execution Plans, Information Management Plans and digital delivery frameworks.

• Mentor BIM and digital engineering practitioners and contribute to Aurecon's Technical Communities.
• Help shape Aurecon's digital engineering strategy and strengthen our position in the Queensland infrastructure market.

Ideally you’ll have:

• Relevant qualifications in Engineering, Architecture, Construction, Information Technology or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
• Significant experience leading digital engineering, BIM and information management on infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of project delivery requirements across design, construction and handover phases.
• Experience working on major transport infrastructure projects, ideally including Queensland TMR projects and collaborative or joint venture environments.
• Strong knowledge of BIM standards, information management principles and digital delivery systems.
• Experience managing Common Data Environments and multidisciplinary digital project teams.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and relationship-building skills.
• A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence, coach and guide teams toward successful outcomes.
