Working closely with project, engineering, construction, planning, commercial and commissioning teams, the role will embed digital outputs into day-to-day delivery, including 4D planning, digital rehearsals, workface planning, installation support, field data capture and handover. The postholder may lead people and teams in a first-amongst-others structure and will champion effective, secure and proportionate use of digital technology.
Due to the site being within a high Security Naval base, additional security checks will need to be satisfied for this role, with BPSS level security clearance being a requirement, which can take up to 8 weeks to process.

- Lead BIM and digital construction activities to support safe, efficient, right-first-time delivery across planning, sequencing, logistics, temporary works, installation, commissioning and handover.
- Support 4D planning and digital rehearsals using Bentley Synchro or approved equivalents, linking programmes and federated models to improve constructability, sequencing, safety and programme certainty.
- Collaborate with engineering and construction teams to improve buildability, interfaces and workface planning, ensuring coordinated, assured and site-ready digital outputs.
- Champion field BIM and digital tools, including tablets, reality capture, digital quality assurance, asset tagging and site data capture.
- Lead information management in accordance with ISO 19650, BAM standards, Exchange Information Requirements (EIRs) and agreed project procedures.
- Manage Project and Asset Information Models, ensuring information integrity throughout construction, commissioning and handover.
