The Role

You will work at the intersection of civil/structural engineering expertise, BIM methodology, and Autodesk software consulting.

• Develop structured training programmes, course materials, and supporting BIM content
• Host client workshops, webinars, and present at industry events

Client Engagement

• Build trusted, long-term relationships with client stakeholders from project teams through to executive level
• Provide ongoing technical support and act as a knowledgeable point of contact post-implementation
• Identify opportunities to deepen client relationships through additional value-add services

• A self-starter who manages your own schedule, takes initiative, and delivers without needing close supervision
• Calm and focused under pressure, able to juggle multiple engagements without dropping the ball
• Genuinely passionate about digital transformation in the built environment, you follow the industry, have a point of view, and bring real energy to your work
