MEP BIM / Information Model Manager - COBie

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.

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.
