Are you a project controls specialist that is a bit tired of the standard old-fashioned way of doing things in the construction industry? Do you get deep satisfaction from making things run more efficiently using a good dose of common sense and maybe a bit of technology? Have you always cared about the importance of proper planning and the connection between the schedule and the real day-to-day delivery of the job? Have you ever wanted to work a bit more flexibly but still be hands-on in construction and improving the industry?
We are Laminar Projects! We are an award-winning consultancy that implements technology to improve the delivery of complex construction projects. Improving construction strengthens the very foundation of human civilisation. We also have a separate product team, Shape Construction, that takes the deep understanding of the projects we work on to develop construction management software products. Our four core values are grow yourself, care about people, execute to greatness and build civilisation.
This is a hybrid role which will combine remote working with site presence in client projects. You will be helping to plan some of the most complex and interesting projects in the world. This role is part of our Project Management Consultancy which focuses on:
- Understanding what the real problems of projects are
- Being part of our Project Controls Discipline Team who are industry leaders in the planning and controls of complex construction projects.
To make construction projects deliver to near perfection:
- Own the controls for cost, schedule, change and risk on one or more projects to enable accurate decisions for project teams.
- Develop scalable and repeatable best practices and tools in collaboration with the team so that long-term impact is achieved.
- Provide simple actionable reports to stakeholders at all levels that help them deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively.
You may not be the project manager ultimately responsible for the results but you are sure as heck responsible for putting in your best effort to ensure the project’s understanding and focus on the plan no matter how stubborn they are!
We train you in the full breadth of project management skills including planning, commercial, leadership, communication and technology so that you become an expert project leader equipped to transform any project you touch.
Expert developer of processes and reporting which take into account strategic objectives and the broad context you are operating in:
- Proficient communicator in written and verbal English.
- A track record of making projects and organisations better beyond just doing the basics.
- Expert developer in PowerBI and SharePoint.
- Deep commercial acumen in construction projects.
- The charisma, influence and presence to get construction people to do new things and take the best approach.
- A track record of implementing scalable and repeatable solutions in projects and organisations that had a significant positive impact.
Competitive salary dependent on location and capability:
- Paid Annual Leave 25 days + statutory Bank Holidays.
- Pension (Match contribution up to 7%).
- Private health insurance.
- Discretionary bonus scheme for all team members.
That means you don’t have to ask permission for things like picking up your kids or going to the doctor, just keep your team in the loop if you think they will be affected. You will be supported to excel in whichever areas you are most interested in!
Long-term impact: We are focused on solving the biggest issues in construction project delivery in a way that can spread and outlast us.
In terms of application, we usually start with an intro call to tell you what we are all about in a casual conversation. That helps you to know us a bit better and tell us a bit about yourself.
