Remote Clever Construction Engineers and Project Managers, UK (Hybrid/Remote) in Highland, Inverness

Are you a bit tired of the standard old-fashioned way of doing things in the construction industry? Are you a construction engineer aka section engineer/sub agent/agent/package manager/project manager? 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, 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 develops construction management software products.

Our four core values are grow yourself, care about people, execute to greatness, and build civilisation. This philosophy goes much deeper and you can see more on our website. Laminar Projects is proud to be recognized as one of the UK's Best Workplaces in Construction, Engineering & Property for 2024! This is a hybrid role which will combine remote working with site presence in client projects.

• Understanding what the real problems of projects are
• Being part of our Project Planning Discipline Team who are industry leaders in the planning of complex construction projects.

To make construction projects deliver to near perfection:

• Own the project plan for one or more projects and ensure that the project is working to it effectively.
• Provide simple actionable reports to stakeholders at all levels that help them deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively.
• Develop scalable and repeatable best practices and tools in collaboration with the team.

• Proficient communicator in written and verbal English.
• A track record of making projects and organisations better beyond just doing the basics.
• Decent Excel skills and a strong interest in data, experience in project planning both software and principles.

Competitive salary dependent on location and capability:

• 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.
