BIM Unit Head

Job code: R26UAE6129**Project Delivery Support & Performance Monitoring** • Maintain portfolio-level visibility of BIM delivery performance across all active projects. • Review project BIM health outcomes (progress, quality, risks) as reported by Digital Delivery Managers and BIM Managers. • Perform independent spot checks and audits to validate reported BIM performance and compliance. • Identify systemic delivery risks or recurring issues and escalate them to the Digital Transformation Director. • Provide governance-level guidance on complex digital delivery matters when escalation is required. • Support Project and Design Management leadership by providing assurance statements on BIM readiness at key stage-gates. • Capture cross-project lessons learned and recommend corrective or improvement actions at a methodology or standards level.**Standards Implementation & Quality Assurance** • Audit projects for adherence to SSH BIM Manual, CDE protocols, and LOD/LOIN matrices. • Validate that Client or Authority digital requirements are implemented without compromising SSH standards. • Coordinate with QA/QC team to integrate digital audit results into design quality reports. • Lead internal “Digital Readiness Reviews” at key project stages to provide assurance on model and information integrity. • Assess, approve, and document justified deviations or exceptions to SSH BIM standards. • Analyse audit outcomes and quality trends across projects to drive continuous improvement of standards and processes.**Capability Development & Mentorship** • Coach and mentor project BIM Managers and Coordinators on best-practice BIM delivery approaches, governance expectations, and professional development. • Identify training needs and coordinate with Digital Transformation Director and LMS to deliver targeted upskilling sessions. • Promote continuous improvement by supporting knowledge-sharing sessions and post-project digital reviews. • Support recruitment and competency assessment of BIM Managers and Coordinators. • Monitor and assess BIM capability maturity across projects and disciplines to inform training priorities and succession planning. • Ensure lessons learned and best practices are embedded into standards, guidance, and training materials.**Reporting & Continuous Improvement** • Oversee and review dashboards summarising BIM delivery status, KPIs, and audit outcomes across active projects. • Provide monthly summary reports to Digital Director and Project Delivery leadership. • Recommend process or standard updates to the Digital COE based on recurring project issues. • Ensure BIM lessons learned and innovation outcomes are documented and disseminated through appropriate digital and knowledge-sharing channels. • Identify and escalate systemic BIM delivery risks or recurring non-compliance trends to Digital and Project Delivery leadership.**Automation & Digital Enablement Oversight (with ROI)** • Define governance principles and priorities for design automation, parametric modelling, and computational workflows (e.g. Dynamo, Grasshopper, Python) in alignment with SSH standards and delivery objectives. • Identify and prioritise high-impact automation use cases across projects based on delivery efficiency, quality improvement, risk reduction, and resource optimisation. • Govern automation initiatives in coordination with Digital Enablement specialists, ensuring solutions are standardised, documented, reusable, and aligned with SSH BIM standards. • Oversee quality assurance and risk management of automation-driven outputs to ensure reliability and consistency. • Evaluate and report on return on investment (ROI) and realised benefits of automation initiatives, and escalate low-value or high-risk initiatives to Digital leadership. • Identify opportunities where AI can accelerate modelling, QA, documentation, clash resolution, rendering, and data extraction.**Technology Adoption & Innovation Governance** • Evaluate emerging BIM, AI, and digital design technologies for applicability to SSH projects. • Define controlled adoption pathways (pilot → standard → scale) for new tools and workflows. • Ensure new technologies are integrated without compromising governance, quality, or security. • Act as the gatekeeper for approving new digital tools used in project BIM delivery.**Bids & Commercial Governance (Digital / BIM)** • Provide selective oversight and guidance on BIM scope, effort, and risk for priority or high-value bids. • Ensure lessons learned from project delivery are reflected in bid narratives, scope definitions, and commercial assumptions. • Assess potential risks and provide mitigation strategies throughout the bidding process to improve proposal quality and competitiveness.**Qualifications, Skills & Experience** **Strategic & Leadership** Strong leadership and mentoring of BIM Managers; ability to align digital strategy with project delivery; acts as SSH’s escalation point for BIM
