Role: BIM Manager

Locations: Hybrid working with one of the following closest locations as primary: Derby, Warrington or Manchester

Our mission

Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) provides a British solution to a global energy crisis. We are in pole position to become a world leader in SMRs and the UK’s premier green export technology.

 

The team

The Engineering function is central to delivering our SMR programme, bringing together design, construction and digital expertise to solve complex, safety-critical challenges. Within this, our Information Management capability is transforming how data, BIM and delivery integrate—ensuring that information is trusted, accessible and drives right-first-time outcomes across the lifecycle.

 

Role summary

In this context, we are looking for a BIM Manager – Projects, reporting to a Senior Information Manager. Leading a growing team of BIM and Information specialists, this role will define and embed best-in-class information management across live projects—ensuring that design, construction and supply chain data is coordinated, assured and optimised to enable predictable, high-quality delivery.

 

What you’ll help deliver

• Integrating data flows across design, construction and supply chain partners, improving construction readiness and reducing rework

You’ll also act as a key interface across clients, partners and internal teams—ensuring information is treated as a critical delivery asset rather than a standalone digital output.

• Experience leading teams and influencing across multidisciplinary functions, including design, delivery, commercial and supply chain
