The Role
Connected Places Catapult are looking for a new team member to support the Digital Construction International Programme. This is a flagship 3-year programme with the Department of Business and Trade. The programme is designed to address market failures that currently limit the global adoption of digital construction and constrain UK export potential. At its core, the programme converts the UK’s standards into long‑term export growth by reshaping overseas procurement systems, so they favour UK capability. 

 

The Consultant will play a central role in designing and activating the Digital Construction Exports Group (DCEG) ecosystem, helping UK firms become better prepared, better connected and better positioned to win work in priority international markets. The role will focus on building relationships with UK exporters, including consultancy firms, supply chain organisations and SMEs, to strengthen collaboration, improve the visibility of UK capability and reduce barriers to export through ecosystem services and engagement activities. The Consultant will also support the design and delivery of country-specific export programmes, ensuring they generate measurable outcomes such as supplier engagement, new partnerships and improved market access.
