Job description

Ramboll are excited to open a search for a candidate to lead our Information Management team.

Our Information Management team is integral to our multi-disciplinary project offerings, ensuring the effective management, coordination, and integration of project information and models. This team ensures high standards of data quality, collaboration, and digital delivery practices across all our projects.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the Information Management team, driving its growth and development. The role is primarily client-facing, acting as the key contact for matters relating to Information Management and BIM, and occasionally representing our clients in client-side roles. They should be commercially astute, overseeing project performance metrics, and strategically managing resources to optimise our commercial performance.

Ramboll are often the lead appointed party, appointing third parties to deliver some design services (for example, architecture). In these scenarios you will manage the information management strategy on behalf of the Ramboll multi-disciplinary team. You will also liaise with specialists from client teams, collaborating to define approaches to meet their requirements.

This role will not lead discipline-specific BIM and IM, which are managed through the respective technical disciplines, but there is need for significant alignment and collaboration with modellers and BIM managers around the wider Buildings UK team.

The ideal candidate would have strong leadership skills, robust eye for detail and execution. You will have the full support of our leadership and technical experts, but we are looking for an ability to operate independently within your field with a high degree of initiative, empowerment and independence. You will be responsible for guiding and inspiring the team, as well as setting a strategic growth plan.

With the significant demand for IM expertise increasing, the role represents significant opportunity for growth in revenue and headcount. We see growth in our IM services offered as part of our holistic multi-disciplinary services, but we also intend to increase our stand‑alone IM services offered separately to clients and design partners.

The role will report to the local Head of Department within our Transformation and Public Buildings service line, but the team works across all our Service Lines within Buildings UK. The role has secondary reporting to the Head of BIM and Information Management, who sets our overall strategic direction and standards for overall Information Management and BIM delivery in all UK technical disciplines.

You should have:

• Proven senior leadership experience in Information Management within the buildings/construction sector.
• Strong track record of developing and growing IM/digital delivery service offerings.
• Demonstrable ability to originate work, support bids, and maintain key client relationships.
• Deep understanding of ISO 19650, CDEs, and project information delivery across RIBA stages.
• Experience leading, mentoring, and scaling Information Management teams.
• Commercial awareness: pricing, scope definition, risk management, and value proposition development.
• Strong experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), including configuring and managing ISO 19650 compliant CDE environments.
• Fully competent in core BIM software including Revit, Navisworks and Solibri.
• The candidate must possess the ability to obtain UK security clearances.

We are seeking a candidate with great potential, rather than just someone who meets all the criteria on paper. If you have demonstrated ambition, aptitude, and the ability to grow into a leadership role, we encourage you to apply. While experience in engineering design and delivery is beneficial, we are also open to candidates from other areas within architecture, consultancy, and construction who can bring innovative perspectives and drive to our team.

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.

Early career talents are individuals who are currently studying at university, have recently graduated or who have a couple of years of PG work experience.
