Construction Common-Data Recovery Authority — Urban Megaproject

The mandate

The digital-delivery executive was dismissed after a superseded structural coordination package remained accessible as current and informed work in two zones. Site assurance contained the affected scope, but transmittal, model, issue, approval and contractor acknowledgement evidence is inconsistent across the common-data environment and local document stores. The programme has frozen several dependent work packages pending one accountable recovery position.

The interim must arrive within two weeks for ten months, leading impact review, platform control, construction restart, commissioning evidence and successor transition. A permanent search begins after the first eight-week baseline defines the future role. Six weeks of overlap are planned; extension is possible only if a statutory investigation or physical remediation sequence delays final evidence beyond the original term.

Handover requires every active work package to resolve to approved design, model federation, issue status, transmittal, contractor receipt, field query, change and as-built obligation; affected construction must be dispositioned; and two unannounced revision exercises must pass. The successor will authorise an unseen design issue and accept residual contractor, legacy-store and commissioning-record debt.

The interim may quarantine records, revoke misleading status, freeze dependent information releases, direct the approved MX$480 million recovery and appoint temporary information managers. Physical-work restart, design approval, contractor liability, permanent hiring and spend above budget require authorised engineering, delivery or board approval. The platform seat cannot approve structural design or instruct unsafe site activity.

Design redesign, claims negotiation and replacement of the overall project-control suite are outside this assignment. The authority may require interfaces and evidence but does not own commercial settlement, site safety or historic file cleansing without live construction, commissioning or legal consequence. Recovery must create authoritative current information without erasing the record of what teams actually received.

Why this seat is open

The superseded package exposed a common-data environment that labelled status without proving distribution and field acknowledgement. Dismissal left fragmented contractor and design teams without a neutral executive controller. A temporary leader must bound physical impact, support safe restart and leave permanent ownership before commissioning evidence multiplies.

What you will own

• Reconstruct affected work through design revision, federation, issue, approval, transmittal, contractor receipt, site use and physical disposition.
• Define authoritative states, permissions, effective time, supersession, acknowledgement and immutable audit evidence across models and documents.
• Decide which packages may restart, require field verification, need engineering review or remain frozen pending physical evidence.
• Direct exercises covering late design change, offline site copy, contractor portal failure, conflicting approval and emergency withdrawal.
• Establish contractor obligations for receipt, distribution, local-cache control, query, correction and evidence on workforce change.
• Govern remediation against bounded physical impact, safe restart, reduced superseded access and commissioning-ready records.
• Transfer authority through unseen issue release, site observation and successor acceptance of contractor and as-built debt.

Candidate qualifications

• Held executive information-management or digital-delivery authority on a complex infrastructure, property or industrial megaproject.
• Reconstructed which approved or superseded design evidence reached specific contractors and physical work fronts.
• Governed common-data states, model federation, transmittal and acknowledgement without confusing platform status with engineering approval.
• Worked through site assurance and physical remediation while preserving claims, legal and investigation evidence.
• Stopped dependent construction when information confidence failed despite schedule and contractor pressure.
• Handed a recovered information function to permanent leadership through live issue, site and commissioning decisions.

Non-negotiables

• Available within two weeks for exclusive Mexico City service with extensive presence at principal construction sites.
• Has carried project-information authority tied to physical construction; generic document-system implementation is insufficient.
• No undisclosed relationship with design, construction, common-data or assurance suppliers involved in the incident.
• Will preserve unsafe and superseded distribution evidence rather than cleaning the history to improve platform appearance.
