- Review, accept, and distribute information exchanges within the CDE, ensuring compliance with agreed processes and procedures.
- Assist with project setup activities within BIM 360, including folder structures, permissions, and workflows.
- Maintain and manage the Operational Master Document Register, ensuring records remain current and accurate.
- Produce reports and support project audits relating to document control and information management activities.
- Print and issue construction drawings and project documentation where required.
- Work closely with engineering, operational, commercial, and project management teams to ensure the effective flow of information.
- Support training and guidance for project stakeholders on document control processes and systems.
- Promote collaborative working and best practice in information management across the project.
