• Standardize lifecycle data frameworks using open standards (COBie, IFC) and classification systems (UniFormat, OmniClass)
• Partner with clients to develop business cases demonstrating lifecycle value, operational efficiencies, and risk reduction
• Act as a trusted advisor on digital twin and asset data strategies, bridging engineering, facilities management, and operations
• Establish integration pathways between BIM data and operational platforms including IWMS, CMMS, IoT, and BMS
• Build and lead a cross-disciplinary Digital & Data Leadership Council to advance governance and innovation
• Drive cultural transformation through training, upskilling, and mentorship—embedding lifecycle thinking into everyday project delivery

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Deep expertise in asset data management, lifecycle information frameworks, and digital twin maturity models
• Proven experience working directly with building owners, facility managers, and operations teams to deliver high-value data solutions
• Strong knowledge of data standards and frameworks including COBie, IFC, UniFormat, OmniClass, and ISO 19650
• Working understanding of operational technologies such as IWMS (e.g., Planon), CMMS (e.g., IBM Maximo), and BMS platforms
• Experience connecting design data to operations systems through APIs, ETL processes, and data integration architectures
• Fluency in BIM platforms such as Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud, with an understanding of downstream data impacts
• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence and drive cross-functional collaboration
