Regular liaison with subcontractors and suppliers is a key part of this role, ensuring each supplier fully understands and is delivering against the requirements of their Works Information, and has a relationship to provide escalation back to SCS.
This role is also responsible for the accurate digital delivery of the Project Information Model for construction assurance in so far as the correct allocation of documents and files in the information systems forms a key part of the project information delivery plan.
