🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting stands out as a global leader driving decarbonization and sustainable business models, specifically focusing on transforming the built environment. Their commitment to sustainability isn't just a side initiative—it's core to their consulting work across markets. Working here means contributing directly to meaningful climate action through infrastructure and building projects.

About This Role

This role leads the Information Management team for UK building projects, setting strategic growth plans while serving as the primary client contact for BIM and IM matters. You'll ensure high standards in data quality and digital delivery while managing project performance and resources. It's impactful because you'll shape how sustainable building projects manage information from design through construction, directly supporting Ramboll's decarbonization mission.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically involves morning team coordination to review project information delivery status across multiple UK building projects, followed by client meetings to discuss BIM execution plans or resolve IM challenges. Afternoons might focus on strategic planning for team growth, developing new IM service offerings, or reviewing project metrics to ensure quality standards and resource allocation align with sustainability objectives.

🎯 Who Ramboll Management Consulting Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of senior leadership experience specifically in Information Management within UK building/construction projects, not just general IT management
  • Demonstrates commercial success in growing IM/digital service offerings with specific examples of pricing models, scope definition, and risk management in previous roles
  • Possesses deep, practical experience implementing ISO 19650 standards and managing project information delivery across all RIBA stages
  • Is highly proficient with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and core BIM software, with experience training teams and establishing best practices

📝 Tips for Applying to Ramboll Management Consulting

1

Quantify your leadership impact: Instead of 'led a team,' specify 'grew IM service revenue by X%' or 'reduced project information errors by Y% through new CDE protocols'

2

Highlight specific UK building project experience, as this role focuses on UK buildings sector—mention projects by name, scale, and your IM contributions

3

Connect your IM experience directly to sustainability outcomes: describe how your information management improved energy modeling, material tracking, or carbon accounting

4

Prepare examples of representing clients in client-side roles, as this role occasionally requires acting on behalf of clients in IM matters

5

Tailor your resume to show progression in IM leadership within construction, not just BIM coordination—emphasize team growth, strategic planning, and commercial results

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your specific experience leading IM teams in UK building projects and how you've driven team growth and development", 'Examples of successfully acting as client-facing contact for IM/BIM matters, particularly in client-side representation roles', 'How your IM approach supports sustainable outcomes and decarbonization goals in building projects', 'Your commercial experience in pricing IM services, defining scopes, and managing risks in digital delivery']
