• Information and Digital Management: Coordinate the integration of configuration management with BIM and digital engineering processes. Promote consistent control of documentation, models and asset information and support development of the Asset Information Model for handover.
• Governance and Process Development: Develop, maintain and continuously improve alliance-wide configuration management procedures aligned with HS2 and Rail Systems Alliance requirements. Support governance forums, assurance activities and cross-contract issue resolution.
