Typical Responsibilities
As our BIM Manager, you will lead the strategic and operational delivery of BIM across Protec’s Fire & Security projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards and the effective management of information throughout the design, construction, handover, and operational phases of projects.
A key aspect of the role will be driving compliance with the ISO 19650 suite of standards, ensuring a consistent approach to information management, data classification, security, collaboration, and information exchange across all projects. This will support both project delivery and the long-term management of critical fire and life safety assets.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead BIM delivery across Fire & Security projects, ensuring designs are coordinated, compliant, and aligned with client, regulatory, and project requirements.
- Develop, implement, and manage BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) and project information management strategies.
- Ensure compliance with the ISO 19650 framework, including:
- ISO 19650-1 (Concepts and Principles)
- ISO 19650-2 (Delivery Phase of Assets)
- ISO 19650-3 (Operational Phase of Assets)
- ISO 19650-4 (Information Exchange)
- ISO 19650-5 (Security‑Minded Information Management)
- Support Protec’s alignment with the UK BIM Framework and wider industry information management requirements.
- Develop and maintain Common Data Environment (CDE) processes to ensure secure, accurate, and controlled management of project information.
- Establish standards for information generation, classification, validation, exchange, and security relating to fire detection, suppression, and security systems.
- Coordinate federated models, undertaking clash detection and interdisciplinary coordination with wider construction, architectural, structural, and M&E disciplines.
- Ensure all BIM deliverables meet Employer’s Information Requirements (EIRs), Asset Information Requirements (AIRs), and organisational information requirements where applicable.
- Manage the development and maintenance of fire and security‑specific BIM object libraries, templates, standards, and workflows.
- Support the creation and validation of Asset Information Models (AIMs) and structured asset data to facilitate building operation, maintenance, compliance, and lifecycle management.
- Collaborate with project teams to ensure accurate digital representations of life safety systems and support the production of as‑built information.
- Act as the primary BIM and digital information management lead for clients, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
- Support business‑wide BIM maturity improvements and continuous development of digital delivery processes.
- Deliver BIM training, mentoring, and guidance to internal teams to embed best practices and improve capability.
- Monitor BIM performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and drive innovation across the Fire & Security business.
- Support the business in achieving and maintaining ISO 19650 certification and compliance.
