Digital BIM Coordinator

Location: Greater Manchester, United Kingdom

The M60 Scheme is looking to take on board a Digital BIM Coordinator for the M60 Simister Island project, reporting into the projects Engineering Manager. The successful Digital BIM Coordinator will support the successful implementation of Digital Engineering for the Project. The candidate will work on the Project through both Construction & Handover stages. The candidate will support ongoing activities within the broader highways sector and will report to the Digital Delivery Lead on the Project, to support Digital Engineering implementation helping scheme delivery & meet the requirements of National Highways EIR and the project BEP, utilising Costain’s digital toolset.

The Digital BIM Coordinator will liaise with the broader project team and suppliers to deliver outstanding value on behalf of our clients. The candidate will be a user in at least one of the digital design platforms; AutoCAD & Civil3D, Revit, Synchro 4D Pro or Navisworks Manage or equivalent software. Experience in GIS (either ArcGIS or QGIS) or working with Navisworks, Dynamo, Rhino & Grasshopper, or similar will be advantageous.

Costain has been appointed as Delivery Integration Partner by National Highways (NH) for delivery of the £240m improvement of the Simister Island M60/M62/M66 interchange (M60 Junction 18), north of Manchester. As Delivery Integration Partner, Costain will overhaul the busy junction involving complex traffic management to keep tens of thousands of vehicles moving whilst construction takes place.

The works consist of:

A new free flow ‘northern loop’ link road to take drivers directly from M60 eastbound to M60 southbound without exiting the motorway

M66 mainline southbound widening and southbound slip road realignment to allow for construction of the northern loop

A widened connector road from M60 northbound to M60 westbound – replacing the current single lane with two lanes

Adding an extra lane in each direction on the M60 Junctions 17 to 18 (increasing from 4 to 5 lanes) while retaining the hard shoulders

Upgrades to drainage, lighting, motorway technology, signage and signalling
