In this exciting role at the British Museum, the postholder will support the implementation of the Museum’s Building Information Management strategy, including the establishment of Common Data Environments to facilitate the delivery of the Museum’s core capital and masterplan projects, alongside facilities management solutions. The role’s goal is to support and improvements in the management and exchange of building, asset and project information. It will play a key role in the successful implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM), supporting with the control of information on projects, coordinate the project-specific information management (IM) responsibilities across the project team, and, where applicable, contribute with discharging information management responsibilities.

A recent strategic review has identified the need for the Museum’s Estates teams to enhance and modify our service offer in response to the evolving needs and anticipated growth in capital activity, resulting in the creation of a range of new roles to complement the existing service. This will enable Estate and Capital Projects (ECP) to improve both the speed and quality of service while delivering a safe and carefully assessed capital programme. This change will optimise the way that we work with colleagues across the Museum as well as address the need for additional capacity and skill required to respond to increased volume with improved management controls.

The benefits realised from the integration of the new structure into the existing operating environment will allow ECP to respond professionally to the emerging demands and exciting prospects of the two principal workstreams – Critical & Essential Projects and our masterplan – as well as day-to-day operations.

About you:

Working in a skilled role with a variety of stakeholders, you will be educated to degree level in construction or information management discipline (or equivalent experience) and have excellent communication abilities. You will have had prior experiences working with Information Management and BIM and implementing new ways of working. A self-starter, you will work upon your own initiative, providing support for various projects and initiatives and briefing relevant stakeholders as necessary.
