AECOM is seeking a Senior Project Digital Lead to provide leadership and steer digital delivery on our hyperscale data centre projects. Working alongside the project leadership team, you will implement at the project level, the applicable BIM and Digital standards, execution plans, multi-discipline collaboration processes and coordination workflows using data, data analysis and digital tools. You will be client facing and have the ability to drive conversation around Digital, Delivery, Innovation and AI.

A central focus of the role is overseeing regional teams and global enterprise-capabilities (EC) partners on the project; monitoring their work against project standards, scope, quality requirements and schedule, driving timely correction of deficiencies, and continuously working in a collaborative manner, liaising with project stakeholders to ensure project deliverables are met on time and to a high standard.

• In coordination with Project Leadership, drive the digital and digital delivery agenda on projects.
• Attend weekly project meetings with project stakeholders and client.
• Demonstrate digital progress to project leadership and the business via dashboards.
• Keep abreast of digital solutions and processes within the AEC landscape.
• Liaise and collaborate with other Project Digital Leads to maintain consistency of systems and processes.

• Develop and Implement BIM Execution Plans (BEP) suited to projects and client requirements.
• Conduct supply chain assessments when required.
• Develop and maintain project documentation aligned to industry standards, NBIMs, NCIS, AIA, BIMForum and ISO 19650, and client Exchange Information Requirements.
• Lead management of the project Common Data Environment (CDE), such as Autodesk Forma or Project Wise: folder structures, permissions, metadata, workflows, archival/retention, and integration with project-management systems.
• Lead BIM kick-off meetings internally and externally with EC partners, consultants and clients for all phases.
• Ensure compliance with contractual requirements and information-delivery milestones, flagging risks in digital deliverables to project leadership.

• Establish & administer the digital quality assurance control procedures. Ensure BEP (BIM Execution Plan) compliance through systematic model checks, monitor model performance against defined KPIs, and produce regular reports on compliance status and performance metrics to support project quality and efficiency.
• Clarify scope and modelling expectations to teams and serve as a primary point of contact for digital delivery.
• Maintain accountability records (issue logs, audit results, deliverable status) that give the project leadership clear visibility into project performance.
