About the Role
Connected Places Catapult are seeking a Consultant – Digital Operations to join the Digital Construction International Programme, a flagship 3-year programme in partnership with the Department of Business and Trade.

In this role, you will:
- Provide technical expertise in the digital operations of buildings and infrastructure to promote digital whole life adoption in the public sector, UK, and internationally.
- Support development and execution of technical frameworks, products, and services aligned with standards such as ISO 19650.
- Translate and articulate complex digital whole life concepts into simplistic, scalable frameworks and strategies.
- Engage with stakeholders, co-create workshop materials, guidance, training content, and strategic documentation.
- Foster sector leadership and community building to foster industry progress.
Due to the international nature of the role, you will be expected to undertake regular overseas assignments (e.g., potential for week-long visits 3–4 times annually). Potential collaboration regions include Canada, Turkey, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. Support will be provided for training in diplomacy, safety, and security determinations as needed.
