Senior Functional & Technical Analyst - (BIM) - Brussels - Freelance / CDI

Within the framework of a large‑scale digital transformation programme, the organisation is progressively modernising and digitising its core business processes, including:

• Procurement processes, such as the creation of a structured Bill of Quantities (BOQ) catalogue
• On‑site execution processes, including:
  • Progress management

• A support methodology for design and engineering processes
• A means to improve information flows between:
  • Design teams
  • Execution/site teams
  • Clients responsible for maintenance and operations

Your mission is to:

• Identify and analyse business problems

• Ensure delivered solutions fully meet business objectives
• Provide advisory support to senior management and leadership teams

Most assignments relate to site supervision and construction monitoring initiatives, though you may also contribute to other strategic IT projects.
