Digitalization of the economy requires new specialists for data-based management called Chief Data Officers (CDOs). It is noted that digitalization is no longer the prerogative of a single IT industry. The digital transformation of the construction industry introduces general processes of digitalization, but it has its own peculiarities. The technology of building information modeling (BIM) is being implemented by construction sector companies. The specialist who leads the implementation of information modeling technologies in the organization is a BIM manager. A BIM manager, as well as CDO, must have competencies in the field of IT, management, and data applications. Analysis of the functions and competencies of a BIM manager allows us to conclude that he can become a CDO for managing the organization’s production activities based on BIM data.
