How I Lead a Global Digital Team with Sophie Montenot

Show notes

Sophie Montenot, Global Digital Delivery Lead at Surbana Jurong, on BIM coordination, JV harmonisation, and digital engineering on Changi T5. The hardest problems on a mega-project are rarely the ones the strategy slides anticipated. They show up in the gap between a digital plan and what a hundred engineers actually do at 9am on a Tuesday. Sophie Montenot, Global Digital Delivery Lead at Surbana Jurong (SJ Group), has spent twenty years closing that gap. From the Singapore Sports Hub to Changi Airport Terminal 5, her career maps to the moments when digital construction stopped being theory and started being delivered. This conversation traces what she learned about deploying BIM at scale, harmonising joint ventures, and translating engineering problems into digital solutions that engineers actually use. Sophie also reflects on what changes when you move from project delivery into a global digital role across an acquired group of firms, and on her work mentoring women into aviation and construction
