Senior Information Manager

About this opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Information Manager to support and lead Information Management and BIM services across our Midlands region, based from either our Nottingham or Birmingham office.

In this role, you will act as the Appointing Party's Information Manager, delivering high‑quality Information Management and BIM services in accordance with ISO 19650 and the UK BIM Framework. You will be responsible for ensuring effective information management processes are embedded throughout project delivery, supporting clients in achieving best practice and compliance.

Alongside your technical responsibilities, you will play a key client‑facing role, building and maintaining strong relationships across a portfolio of accounts. You will identify opportunities for growth within existing client relationships, contribute to business development initiatives, and support bid and proposal activities across the Business Unit.

This is not a purely technical IM role. The successful candidate will combine ISO 19650 expertise with the relationship skills to grow client accounts — bringing in wider Gleeds capabilities (building surveying condition surveys, FM advisory, Reality Capture / Scan to BIM) where they add value. They will be a visible presence with clients, a contributor to bids, and someone who helps build the IM BU's reputation and pipeline as the team scales towards its 2027 growth targets.
