Job description

Key Responsibilities:

• CDE architecture and strategy: Define the target architecture and technology roadmap for the CDE ecosystem, balancing partner collaboration, construction digitalization, BIM coordination, governance, interoperability, scalability and long-term maintainability.
• Information architecture and governance: Define information structures spanning planning, design, construction, handover and operations, including metadata, classification, naming conventions, project structures, document hierarchies and information lifecycles.
• Establish controls for information ownership, stewardship, permissions, approval states, retention, auditability and traceability, aligned with CDE principles and ISO 19650 information management practices.
• Platform architecture: Design reusable patterns for document management, BIM coordination, workflows, collaboration, issue management, approvals, partner onboarding, information exchange and digital handover.
• Ensure the architecture supports current and future CDE platforms without unnecessary vendor lock-in, while meeting standards for extensibility, scalability, resiliency, security and operational supportability.
• Integration architecture: Define API strategies, event-driven patterns and interoperability standards connecting CDE, BIM, project delivery, asset management and enterprise systems.
• Design information flows across multiple construction technology, BIM, project collaboration and information management platforms and other technology ecosystems, including digital handover and long-term asset information management.
• Technology leadership: Guide Product Managers, Business Analysts, Experience Designers and Engineering teams on solution design, architecture trade-offs, product evolution and technical debt management.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, cloud and platform engineering teams to ensure solution designs align with enterprise principles and controls.
• Vendor and ecosystem management: Evaluate vendor capabilities, implementation approaches and product roadmaps; promote open standards, interoperability and informed capability expansion, consolidation or rationalisation.

Required Skills and Experience:

• At least 8 years of experience in solution architecture, enterprise architecture, platform architecture or large-scale systems integration.
• Demonstrated experience delivering construction technology, project information management, CDE or BIM-related solutions.
• Strong understanding of solution, enterprise, information, integration and platform architecture principles, including cloud-native application design.
• Experience designing ecosystem-level platforms involving multiple products, stakeholders, organisations and delivery partners.
• Proven ability to define architecture standards, reference architectures, integration models and technology roadmaps.
• Practical experience with CDE architecture, BIM ecosystems, construction information management, project collaboration platforms, document management, revision control, digital handover or asset information management.
• Strong understanding of how information is created, reviewed, shared, approved, transferred and reused throughout the asset lifecycle.
• Working knowledge of ISO 19650 information management principles and multi-party information exchange between owners, consultants and contractors.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and architecture governance capability, with the ability to balance business outcomes, governance requirements, technical constraints and long-term maintainability.
• Preferred Skills
• Hands-on architecture, implementation or governance experience with one or more CDE, BIM, construction collaboration or project information management platforms.
• Experience across multiple technology ecosystems, with the ability to establish adaptable and interoperable architecture rather than dependence on a single vendor.
• Experience in construction technology, BIM collaboration, information management, digital delivery, design coordination, construction management and digital handover.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure, API Management, event-driven architecture, microservices, enterprise integration, SaaS platform architecture, and identity and access management.
• Knowledge of information governance, data governance, security architecture, compliance architecture, and audit and traceability controls.
• Ability to evaluate emerging CDE, BIM, information management and construction technology solutions and recommend practical adoption approaches.
