Biography

Oliver Robinson began his career in structural engineering, producing two‑dimensional technical drawings before moving into the emerging world of BIM. In 2016, he joined Laing O’Rourke to deepen his understanding of how contractors manage and utilise information provided by external partners.

His experience spans a wide range of digital engineering activities, from developing temporary works models to creating construction‑focused digital outputs that support site logistics and delivery. At Hinkley Point C, Oliver played a key role in supporting the project’s delivery teams, helping to optimise construction planning through effective use of digital data and modelling.

Oliver went on to lead Digital Engineering for Nuclear Island Unit 2, where he focused on driving innovation and improving productivity across project workflows. During this time, he also expanded his skillset by developing basic coding capabilities and using AI to manipulate IFC data and automate routine processes.

Oliver now oversees Digital Engineering for BYLOR at Hinkley Point C, continuing to champion digital transformation and smarter ways of working across one of the UK’s largest and most complex infrastructure projects.
