This KTP project aims to create a digital-based Construction (Design and Management) Regulations Compliance Checking system, to improve the delivery of the CDM 2015 Regulations, health and safety performance and information management of infrastructure engineering design in the construction industry. You will be taking over the project management and development of the CDM Compliance Checking software tool from the incumbent KTP Associate.

Wellbeing, Health and Safety (WH&S) is a key issue in construction, which is recognised as a high-risk industry. The project will digitise engineering (highways) design WH&S rule and code compliance checking, document checking, document production and software integration to maximise the benefits of BIM.

The key benefits of this KTP to the business include both commercial and societal benefits :

• More effective transfer of WH&S data between stakeholders in the construction process due to digital checking and development of common terminology and data structures
• Reduced costs in construction e.g., improved sharing of information across teams, less design changes on site, reduced design staff time and reduction in re-work.
• Improved site WH&S reducing injury / fatality levels and enhanced compliance (less errors) with the codes.

The project will also enable increased digitalisation in the construction industry, building on transformations already in place with the introduction of BIM and other concepts (e.g., Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Digital Twins) and using digital information management processes to gain efficiencies in the design and construction processes.

This role is an exciting opportunity for candidates with a degree or awaiting a degree at (high level 2.1 or above) in either Engineering, Surveying, Architecture and Built Environment, Mathematics, Computer Science, Finance, Economy or Management related disciplines with a good understanding of digital technologies, digital application development processes, requirement capturing and analysis, and management and IT systems in the Built Environment. Preferably a postgraduate or graduate with an understanding of BIM, process improvement and digital construction.
