• Coordinate federated models, undertaking clash detection and interdisciplinary coordination with wider construction, architectural, structural, and M&E disciplines.
• Ensure all BIM deliverables meet Employer's Information Requirements (EIRs), Asset Information Requirements (AIRs), and organisational information requirements where applicable.
• Manage the development and maintenance of fire and security-specific BIM object libraries, templates, standards, and workflows.
• Support the creation and validation of Asset Information Models (AIMs) and structured asset data to facilitate building operation, maintenance, compliance, and lifecycle management.
• Collaborate with project teams to ensure accurate digital representations of life safety systems and support the production of as-built information.
• Act as the primary BIM and digital information management lead for clients, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
• Support business-wide BIM maturity improvements and continuous development of digital delivery processes.
• Deliver BIM training, mentoring, and guidance to internal teams to embed best practices and improve capability.
