The Digital Construction International Programme (DCIP) is a flagship UK government trade programme that brings together governments, infrastructure owners and industry partners worldwide to advance digital construction. By promoting the adoption of international best practice in information management and BIM, the programme supports improved infrastructure outcomes, knowledge exchange and international collaboration.

Drawing on your experience of leading digital transformation within the built environment, you will represent the UK’s digital construction capability on the international stage. Working with government ministries, public sector clients and infrastructure organisations, you will help shape national and organisational approaches to digital construction, supporting partners from early strategy development through to implementation on programmes and projects.

You will be comfortable operating at both strategic and delivery levels, helping stakeholders understand the value of digital construction and information management in achieving better whole-life outcomes. Using UK and international best practice, you will design and deliver diagnostics, workshops, roadmaps and pilot initiatives that build capability and support adoption through policy, procurement and project delivery.

You will also play a key role in evolving the UK’s offer by capturing market intelligence, identifying opportunities for collaboration and representing the programme at high-profile international events and forums.
