• Represent the information management and document control function at project mobilisation, kick-off and contractor meetings, providing specialist guidance and ensuring requirements, responsibilities and processes are clearly understood.
• Coordinate the receipt, review, issue, distribution and control of project documentation and external deliverables, while monitoring information quality, compliance and overdue or incorrectly classified information.
• Manage user onboarding and training, produce information management reports, and support project reviews, audits, handovers and continuous improvement to promote consistent practices throughout the project lifecycle.

You have

• Experience in document control, project information management, CDE administration or a similar information systems role, with a practical understanding of document lifecycles and controlled information exchange.
• Experience administering or working as an advanced user of platforms such as Viewpoint, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Forma, Asite, Aconex or similar systems, including workflows, transmittals, metadata and permissions.
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate, complete and traceable project information, prioritise competing requirements and resolve document, system and information-quality issues.
• Strong communication skills and confidence supporting and training users with different levels of systems knowledge, while working effectively with project teams, contractors and supply chain partners.
• Knowledge of ISO 19650, BIM, Common Data Environments or information management within major infrastructure or regulated projects would be advantageous.
