BIM Manager

We are working with our client, a dynamic architectural practice based in Central Manchester, who are seeking a BIM Manager to lead the development, coordination, and governance of BIM across the practice. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on exciting projects from early concept through to construction and handover, predominantly in the healthcare sector. Previous healthcare experience is not essential – strong BIM expertise and leadership are what matter most.

Key Responsibilities:

– Lead the implementation and maintenance of practice-wide BIM standards, protocols, and workflows.
– Own and update BIM Execution Plan (BEP) templates, model standards, and information delivery procedures.
– Ensure compliance with ISO 19650 and client/project information requirements.
– Act as the primary BIM point of contact for the practice.
– Set up and manage BIM on projects from RIBA Stage 0-7.
– Coordinate architectural models internally and across disciplines.
– Manage federated models and oversee clash detection workflows where required.
– Support project teams to meet programme, quality, and information delivery milestones.

Software & Systems Expertise:

– Lead and develop use of BIM software (e.g., Revit, Navisworks, ACC/BIM 360 or similar).
– Advise on model structuring, parametric families, shared parameters, and data integrity.
– Support digital workflows including coordination, issue tracking, and model-based reviews.
– Identify and implement new tools or efficiencies where appropriate.

Skills & Experience:

– Strong experience as a BIM Manager or BIM Coordinator, ideally in an architectural practice.
– Solid understanding of ISO 19650, BEPs, MIDPs, and information management principles.
– Experience with COBie, clash detection, and multi-disciplinary model coordination.
– Familiarity with CDE platforms.
– Excellent communication skills with the ability to work with designers, technologists, and consultants.

Why Join:

– Hybrid working – flexibility between office and home.
– Work on healthcare projects and other multi-disciplinary developments.
– Opportunity to lead BIM across the practice and mentor teams.
– Supportive, creative work environment with career growth opportunities.
