Job Title: CDE Specialist

Location: Warwick/Hybrid

Contract Type: 6 months with scope to extend

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced CDE Specialist to support the administration, configuration and governance of a Common Data Environment (CDE) using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) across onshore and offshore projects.

This is a hands-on platform role, with approximately 98% of the work focused on ACC/Autodesk. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining CDE templates, configuring workflows, setting up new projects and supporting the ongoing administration and development of the platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer and configure the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) CDE across onshore and offshore projects.
• Maintain and develop approved CDE project templates.
• Configure folder structures, permissions, roles, workflows and other platform settings.
• Configure document review and approval workflows in line with agreed processes.
• Set up new projects using approved templates and ensure the correct configuration is applied.
• Manage user access, permissions and role-based security across projects.
• Support Joiners, Movers & Leavers (JML) processes and coordinate with relevant support teams.
• Monitor platform usage, access and configuration to ensure effective CDE governance.
• Extract and analyse CDE data using Power BI to support reporting and project insights.
• Provide support and troubleshooting for ACC/CDE configuration and access issues.
• Work closely with Information Management and project teams during project mobilisation and setup.
• Ensure CDE processes align with ISO 19650 principles and agreed information management standards.
• Communicate configuration changes and provide guidance to users and project stakeholders.
• Work effectively with multiple stakeholders across different business units, project teams and functions.

Key Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is highly desirable and preferred.
• Experience administering and configuring a Common Data Environment (CDE).
• Strong understanding of CDE principles and practical application of ISO 19650.
• Experience configuring workflows, templates, permissions, roles and project structures.
• Experience setting up new projects within ACC or another CDE platform.
• Good understanding of document management, information workflows and access control.
• Power BI experience, particularly extracting and working with data from systems/platforms.
• Experience with SharePoint, Microsoft Forms and Power Automate would be advantageous.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent stakeholder-management and communication skills.
• Ability to work across multiple projects and business areas.
• Strong attention to detail with a structured approach to governance and configuration.
• Experience within construction, engineering, infrastructure or major capital projects would be advantageous.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on CDE specialist who is confident configuring and maintaining a CDE rather than simply providing general administrative support. ACC/Autodesk experience is strongly preferred due to the high proportion of the role focused on the platform.

Candidates coming from another established CDE environment will also be considered where they can demonstrate strong transferable platform configuration, information management and ISO 19650 experience.
