Speaker profiles:
Jamie Mills
Global BIM Manager, Xylem Water Solutions UK Ltd.
As an Incorporated Mechanical Engineer, Jamie is Xylem’s Global BIM Manager. He is also a member of The Institute of Mechanical Engineers and The Institute of Water. His responsibility as Global BIM Managers is to ensure that all product manufacturers owned by Xylem and Xylem’s colleagues are equipped with the knowledge and ability to deliver compliant product data to customers as and when it is required.
Jamie’s involvement with BIM started in 2015 after the UK Government mandated its use on centrally procured construction projects. Since then he has become an expert on manufacturer product data exchange and assists in the development of European and International standards.
The majority of Jamie’s knowledge and experience has been gained through collaboration and engagement with initiatives and projects throughout the water sector. From 2016 to 2019 he chaired the BIM4Water Standard Libraries Group and helped the UK water industry pioneer and agree a standard process to identify data properties used for the development of water industry product data templates. Following on from this he joined the Centre for Digital Built Britain Network Fountain exploring data classification and ontologies for the development of interconnected digital twins. These initiatives lead to the formation of two new BIM4Water groups; the water data taskforce and the water industry classification and hierarchy standards group. In 2019 he was elected chair of BIM4Water and now looks after six task groups with support from a dedicated steering group.
