Senior BIM Manager - HS2 Stations

BIM Information Manager – Stations | HS2
Location: Birmingham or London Hybrid
Salary: Brum £70,000 – 77,500 London 75,000 - £83,500 + 12% Pen + pkg
Progression: Lead BIM Information Manager (£90,000 – £100,000+)
Shape Four Railways Stations of National Significance — Client Side on HS2
This is not a traditional BIM role.
This is an opportunity to join High Speed Two Ltd and take a highly visible client-side position responsible for digital information across four of the UK’s most high-profile transport buildings:
* Curzon Street Station - c£800m flagship new station development
* Old Oak Common Station - c£1.67bn super-hub and one of the largest station builds in Europe
* Euston Station & Interchange Station – Both in early design
These are nationally significant assets and this role sits at the centre of how they are digitally delivered and used to monitor the delivery of them.
You’ll be responsible for giving senior leadership complete visibility of what is actually being delivered across the Stations supply chain through digital information.
You’ll sit between Tier 1 contractors and programme leadership, translating BIM, CAD, GIS, Asset Data, metadata, and Common Data Environment outputs into clear intelligence that drives decision-making.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Client-side authority, influence Tier 1 contractors rather than deliver for them
* Work across landmark live new build station programmes.
* Digital Engineering team operates as a true “command & control” function
* High visibility — direct influence into senior programme leadership
* Opportunity to shape digital standards, assurance, and innovation at scale
* Significant interaction with Project Controls, Programme Delivery, and Engineering leadership
* Become a recognised high-profile expert across BIM, Information Management, and Digital Engineering within major infrastructure
* Long-term programme security with major delivery phases still ahead
* Clear progression towards Lead Information Manager level
The Role
Reporting into the Lead Information Manager, you will sit within HS2’s Digital Engineering team and act as the client-side authority for information management across live station contracts.
Your role is not simply to monitor BIM compliance.
You will challenge, assure, and influence Tier 1 contractors to improve digital delivery performance, ensuring information is accurate, structured, commercially meaningful, and aligned to programme outcomes.
This role sits at the intersection of BIM, project controls, programme assurance, delivery risk, and digital governance.
You will become a trusted technical authority capable of challenging major contractors on:
* BIM execution strategy
* Data quality and assurance
* Programme outputs and deliverables
* Information governance
* Work breakdown structures
* Digital maturity and innovation
* Delivery performance linked to information outputs – Information Delivery Packages IDP (MIDP) – this is information is used by HS2 to monitor delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Act as client-side BIM & Information Management lead across assigned station contracts
* Assure contractor BIM Execution Plans, MIDP, MPDT and Information Delivery Plans
* Review and audit digital engineering processes through Technical Assurance Reviews
* Challenge contractor digital delivery performance and drive improvement plans
* Assure CAD, GIS, BIM, Asset and design data submissions are compliant and fit-for-purpose
* Conduct quality reviews and spot checks across critical information deliverables
* Collaborate closely with Project Controls to align digital outputs with delivery programmes
* Provide performance reporting and metrics around contractor digital compliance
* Support Project Managers and Engineers with technical information queries
* Drive awareness, governance, education, and best practice across Information Management
* Influence innovation and improved ways of working across the programme
What They’re Looking For
You will likely come from a BIM, Digital Engineering, Information Management, GIS, Asset Information or Design Data background within complex infrastructure or major projects.
Most importantly, you will have the confidence to challenge contractors and operate in a highly influential client-side environment.
Open to candidates from Client, Consultants (engineering & technology) and contractors and also open to manufactures.
Ideal Experience Includes:
BIM / Information Management within large infrastructure or multi-disciplinary projects
Experience working within rail, stations, aviation, highways, complex buildings, utilities or transport programmes
Strong knowledge of ISO 19650 and information governance
Experience managing information within Common Data Environments (ProjectWise or similar)
Ability to influence senior stakeholders and challenge delivery teams
Understanding of digital assurance and contractor performance management
Experience operating in technically complex, highly regulated environments
Why Join HS2?
This is one of the few BIM roles where digital information directly influences programme delivery at a national level.
You will not sit behind a model
You will sit at the centre of one of Europe’s largest infrastructure programmes, influencing how two landmark stations are delivered — technically, commercially, and operationally.
For someone wanting to move beyond coordination and become a strategic digital leader, this is a career-defining opportunity
