City of London

Up to 60,000 + Benefits 30 Days Annual Leave Flexible Working

Join one of the UK's most dynamic and fast-growing independent Building Services Consultancies, where quality, innovation, and people drive everything we do.

This is a standout opportunity for an Information Model Manager to take a leading role in delivering some of the UK's most digitally advanced custodial projects, shaping how structured data and BIM information underpin sustainable design and building performance.

About the Company

Founded less than a decade ago, this forward-thinking consultancy has grown into a 40+ strong team of engineers and digital specialists across multiple UK offices. Following a major phase of strategic expansion earlier this year, the London office alone welcomed 14 new team members - proof of the firm's ambition, success, and excellent reputation in the industry.

Now entering Phase 2 of its growth, the company is enhancing its digital engineering capability, strengthening its BIM leadership, and expanding its expertise in information management and data-driven project delivery.

At its core, this is a people-first business - with an 80%+ staff retention rate, flexible working, and a genuine commitment to professional development. Employees stay because they're supported, challenged, and trusted to do their best work.

The Role

We're looking for a detail-driven Information Model Manager to lead the management, structuring, and coordination of digital information across a portfolio of complex, BIM-intensive custodial projects.

You'll be responsible for ensuring the integrity, consistency, and traceability of information throughout the design and delivery process - with a strong focus on COBie data management, compliance with ISO 19650 standards, and the smooth exchange of structured data across multiple stakeholders.

Around 70% of the firm's projects are within the custodial (HM Prisons) sector, a field that's become one of the most technically demanding and digitally mature in the UK. Each facility combines multiple functions - healthcare, accommodation, education, recreation, and high security - all designed under a unified digital framework.

The Ministry of Justice's net-zero, all-electric prison programme has placed data and digital coordination at the heart of delivery. The company has recently completed the UK's first all-electric prison, where COBie, Revit, and federated model coordination were essential to meeting sustainability and operational performance goals.

This role is central to that journey - ensuring the right data, in the right format, at the right time.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and maintain structured information models across multiple large-scale projects.
• Lead COBie data production, validation, and delivery in line with client and project requirements.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 19650 and company BIM execution standards.
• Oversee information exchange processes between design teams, contractors, and clients.
• Support the setup and maintenance of Common Data Environments (CDEs).
• Provide guidance and training to design teams on BIM and data management best practice.
• Review and validate data for accuracy, completeness, and consistency across models and outputs.

About You

• 6+ year's experience within BIM or Information Management, ideally within Building Services or multi-disciplinary design.
• Strong working knowledge of COBie, Revit, Navisworks, and CDE platforms (e.g. BIM360, Viewpoint, Asite).
• Familiar with BIM Execution Plans, EIRs, and asset information models.
• Confident communicator and problem solver, able to translate data standards into practical delivery.
• Detail-focused, organised, and motivated by improving digital efficiency.

What You'll Get

• 30 days annual leave + Bank Holidays.
• Flexible working: 3 office / 2 home or 9-day fortnight.
• 300 annual sports & wellness allowance.
• No weekly timesheets!
• Structured training and certification support in BIM and Information Management (ISO 19650, COBie, BIM Level 2).
• Collaborative environment with direct access to leadership and decision-making.
• The chance to help shape how digital information is managed across the business.

Why Join Them?

Here, quality and information go hand in hand.

You'll join a consultancy that's not just growing - it's evolving into one of the UK's leading digital design practices. This is your chance to be part of a team that sees data as the foundation of better buildings - more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent.
