United Kingdom oilandgas.org.uk Full time
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 civilization. (Watch our short film about it)

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.

The core of all this is our true secret sauce: people. We only recruit kind and authentic people who are fast learners. We are deeply focused on designing a new type of place that is optimized for the flourishing of the people in the team first and foremost. This approach has allowed us to grow from just 2 people in 2017 to over 200 today and we are still very much at the beginning Joining us isn't just some "job"; we challenge you to be your best self in all aspects of life.

Our vision is designed to align how we operate with the fundamental aspects that enable anyone to have a fulfilled life:

  1. Connects us with meaningful relationships
  2. Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans
  3. Empowers us to pursue our own learning adventures
4 core values for a good life

We believe a life of human flourishing is all about meaningful relationships with others and challenging yourself to create a positive impact. Our four core values are grow yourself, care about people, execute to greatness, and build civilization. This philosophy goes much deeper and you can see more on our website.

We are achieving this vision through the following two missions:

  1. To fully digitize the construction of human civilization
  2. To create a new type of organization that enables human flourishing while delivering a huge positive impact on society
The Role

Purpose of the role

You will be developing and implementing our strategy to deliver construction projects better for organizations within the power and renewables sector.

Team

This role is part of our Project Management Consultancy which focuses on:

  1. Understanding what the real problems of projects are
  2. Implementing the best solutions to those problems
  3. Developing scalable best practices, tools, and technology
More specifically, you will be leading our Power and Renewables sector combining our skills in project management, project controls, and digital to deliver complex construction projects. Your initial leader will be the CEO.

Your top 3 objectives:

  1. To define and continuously improve great delivery approaches to the power and renewables sector
  2. To develop yourself and everyone around you
  3. To grow our client base in the power and renewables sector
Your top 5 responsibilities:

  1. Great delivery: Ensure our teams are delivering great results in collaboration with the discipline directors.
  2. Develop everyone: Maximize the development of your team personally and professionally and educate our clients to improve as well.
  3. Lead scalable solutions: Lead the team to develop scalable and repeatable best practices and tools to enhance our delivery for the sector.
  4. Define and drive the strategy: The buck stops with you when it comes to the power and renewables sector. You will need to autonomously create a strategy and make it happen.
  5. Grow and expand for impact: Drive the development of new and existing customers where we can make the most impact. We don't want to grow by pushing more people and fees onto clients. We grow by making more impact.
Your Capabilities:

You are a seasoned business leader in construction project management that wants to do things better. We are open to candidates that are either a director who wants a change or an associate director who wants to step up. You must have established networks in the power and renewables sector.

As a candidate, you should have:

Must-Have (The fundamentals)

  1. Mastery: Construction engineering background with experience on construction projects as a key leader. Proven impact in business development.
  2. Communication: Proficient communicator in written and verbal English. A gravitas that inspires others.
  3. Leadership: A proven leader/coach/developer of teams or teams of teams.
  4. Impact: A track record of driving growth and improvement in organizations that had a significant positive impact.
Nice to Have (If you don't have it now you will be trained intensively after joining)

  1. Mastery: Prior experience as a project director or operations director for both contractors and consultancies.
  2. Communication: The charisma, influence, and presence that inspires trust from the moment you meet.
  3. Leadership: An industry thought leader.
  4. Impact: A track record of starting new businesses from scratch.
Laminar isn't the place for you if any of the following is true:

  1. You want an easy, chilled-out role without much challenge.
  2. You like to be the smartest person in the room.
  3. You don't like continuously receiving honest candid feedback.
  4. You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team.
At Laminar, we value diverse experiences and perspectives, empowering each member to contribute their unique expertise towards our collective success, so if you don't think you meet all the criteria but still are excited about this role, we encourage you to apply anyway

Salary and Benefits

Standard Stuff

  1. Competitive salary dependent on location and capability.
  2. Paid Annual Leave 25 days + statutory Bank Holidays.
  3. Pension (Match contribution up to 7%).
  4. Private health insurance.
  5. In-House Coaching Sessions.
  6. Discretionary bonus scheme for all team members.
The Life-Changing Stuff

  1. Flexibility: Getting things done is what really matters, not what time of day you do it. 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.
  2. Grow your whole self: Our leaders are more like coaches and one of our main objectives is to give 5 years' worth of learning and development for every 1 year with us. You have a coach, mentor, well-being therapist, and a development-oriented environment: That's literally what our vision is all about and the primary reason Laminar exists.
  3. Be surrounded by the best: We only hire and retain the very best people. You might be used to being the smartest in the room but that won't be the case in Laminar. You will be surrounded by people you can learn from. We are 100% meritocratic so fast progression is the norm. You will be supported to excel in whichever areas you are most interested in With Laminar, development is unbounded.
  4. Long-term impact: We are focused on solving the biggest issues in construction project delivery in a way that can spread and outlast us.
Application

We get thousands of applications so please write us a letter as part of your application explaining:

  1. Why do you want to join us?
  2. If you joined, where do you think you could make the most impact and how?
We aren't a giant faceless corporation; we really care about the people who want to join our team so all applications will be read thoroughly by our key leaders.

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.
