What if you could do the kind of work the world needs?

At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives. You can experience a world of opportunity and the chance to shape a career as unique as you.

A little more about your role…

You can find out more about our Digital and BIM capabilities by exploring how we support complex Energy Networks transmission and distribution programmes, helping clients deliver coordinated, model-led design outputs across the full project lifecycle.

This is a hands-on BIM Manager role within our Energy Networks Transmission & Distribution portfolio. You will be responsible for setting up, managing and supporting BIM delivery on live multidisciplinary infrastructure projects, ensuring models, drawings, coordination workflows and digital deliverables are produced consistently, efficiently and in line with agreed project requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage BIM delivery across Energy Networks T&D projects, taking responsibility for project BIM setup, model coordination processes, model quality, digital deliverables and practical delivery support.

• Establish and maintain BIM workflows, model structures, federated model processes, coordination routines and model exchange approaches that support efficient multidisciplinary project delivery.

• Guide BIM coordinators, designers, technicians and discipline teams in the consistent production of models and drawings, helping resolve model health, coordination and delivery issues.

• Lead federated model reviews, clash detection, issue tracking and coordination activities, ensuring spatial, technical and interface issues are identified, assigned and progressed in a timely way.

• Support the practical implementation of BIM Execution Plans, model production methods, coordination procedures, information exchange requirements and agreed project BIM standards.

• Provide clear guidance on model setup, naming conventions, worksharing, model linking, shared coordinates, drawing production, issue management and coordination workflows.

• Review models and drawings for quality, completeness, coordination, compliance with project requirements and suitability for issue at key design stages.

• Use Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Navisworks, Revit, Civil 3D and related digital delivery platforms to improve collaboration, coordination, assurance and delivery confidence.

• Work with project managers, design managers and discipline leads to understand BIM resource needs, programme priorities, model deliverables, coordination risks and required project support.

• Support BIM coordination meetings, model review sessions and design team workshops, ensuring actions, issues, responsibilities and close-out requirements are clearly captured and progressed.

• Use reporting outputs and dashboards where appropriate to improve visibility of model progress, deliverable status, coordination issues and project risks.

• Help embed consistent BIM Management practices across the Energy Networks portfolio by sharing lessons learned from live delivery and improving future project mobilisation.

Your Team

• You will join a growing Energy Networks T&D team delivering nationally significant infrastructure that supports the transition to a more resilient, secure and low-carbon energy system.

• The team works across a broad portfolio of transmission and distribution projects, bringing together engineering, design management, BIM Management, model coordination and project delivery specialists.

• As BIM Manager, you will sit close to live project delivery, working with project managers, design managers, discipline leads, BIM coordinators, designers and technicians to support coordinated digital design outputs.

• You will provide practical BIM Management support from project mobilisation through to coordinated design outputs, helping teams apply consistent workflows, manage model quality and resolve coordination issues.

• You will also be connected to a wider network of digital, BIM, engineering and project delivery specialists across local, regional and national teams.

• This role is suited to an experienced BIM professional who can operate confidently in live project environments, lead practical BIM delivery and help project teams apply consistent ways of working.

What we’ll be looking for you to demonstrate…

• Experience in BIM Management, model management or digital design delivery within infrastructure, utilities, energy, transmission, distribution or similarly complex multidisciplinary environments.

• Strong practical Revit experience, including model setup, worksharing, linked models, shared coordinates, model health, drawing production, model review and issue resolution.

• Practical Civil 3D experience for civil infrastructure, site development, earthworks, drainage, roads, utilities or associated infrastructure would be strongly preferred.

• Experience coordinating federated models, undertaking clash detection, managing model issues and supporting multidisciplinary teams through design coordination and model review processes.

• Good working knowledge of Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Navisworks and associated model coordination workflows.

• Ability to support project teams with BIM Execution Plans, model production methods, coordination procedures, information exchange processes and project BIM standards.

• Understanding of ISO 19650 principles and information management requirements, with the ability to apply them pragmatically in live project environments.

• Strong communication, organisation and coordination skills, with the ability to manage priorities across multiple packages, disciplines, suppliers or delivery teams.

• Confidence working with engineering, design, document control, project management and client-side stakeholders to resolve BIM coordination issues and improve delivery outcomes.

• Experience reviewing models and drawings for quality, coordination, completeness and compliance with agreed project requirements.

• Experience supporting BIM coordination meetings, design workshops, model review sessions and issue close-out processes.

• Power BI experience would be advantageous, particularly for dashboards or reporting outputs that improve visibility of model status, deliverables, issues and delivery performance.

• Experience in energy infrastructure, utilities or major multidisciplinary infrastructure programmes would be beneficial.

• Experience with scripting tools such as Dynamo or Python would be beneficial.
