Consulting - Planning - United Kingdom - Full Time
Are you a seasoned construction planner 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
If you have already heard about us, you are probably reading this because you are tired of the typical old-fashioned and chaotic ways of doing things in construction. we are a high-end construction project management consultancy and also a construction management tech developer. Improving construction strengthens the very foundation of human civilisation.(Watch our short film about it)
As a consultancy, we are focused on genuinely upgrading the way construction projects are delivered. We bring control and clarity to projects using a pragmatic mix of the latest technology, our own processes, and a big dose of common sense.
We exist so that everyone in our team can thrive in a high-impact community that:
To fully digitise the construction of human civilisation
You will be enhancing the delivery of the most complex and interesting projects in the world through the power of project planning. You will be a senior leader in our team pushing the discipline to new heights not only within Laminar but within the industry in general.
This role is part of our Project Management Consultancy which focuses on:
Understanding what the real problems of projects are
More specifically you will be part of our Project Planning Discipline Team who are industry leaders in the planning of complex construction projects. Your initial leader will be one of our planning discipline directors.
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. 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
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 so that long-term impact is achieved.
We will train you in the full breadth of project planning, commercial, leadership, communication and technology so that you become an expert project leader equipped to transform any project you touch.
Solid construction project planning capability in all aspects that take into account strategic objectives and the broad context you are operating in
Communication : 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 that had a significant positive impact
Decent Excel skills and a strong interest in data. Knowledge and experience in other fields beyond planning
Impact : Impacts that have gone beyond your project and improved organisations as a whole in a way that has spread to others
A project is a set of activities delivered in sequence each being managed by different people/organisations. This is why the plan is always at the core of the project.
So the first thing you will learn to do is project planning to the very highest standard. This means you will be at the core of the project devising strategies and tactics to improve the way the project is delivered. You will translate this knowledge into a logic-linked plan and analyse it using planning software. Then you will use this knowledge to help the teams understand what they need to prioritise to make the project as successful as possible. If the project were a ship you would be the navigator.
What kinds of projects would I be working on?
It isn’t uncommon for people to be exposed to several projects in their first year of joining us. You will work on many types of complex projects including; data centres, highways, railways, nuclear power plants, and pretty much any other type of complex project you can think of. (Our clients include major Owners/Operators, Main Contractors, and Subcontractors, with project values between £1m and £1B+ globally.
Some weeks you might be working from home all week. Others you might travel to site to meet the construction teams and help them get organised in person. Maybe you will pop into our London office for a workshop/beer/social event. Maybe you will travel to exotic (and sometimes not) This where you work varies depending on what types of projects. Most of our team work predominantly from home with regular visits to projects. As an absolute maximum expectation, we attend projects 2-3 days a week if they are near where you live. But also be prepared to travel further afield 3 days every second week.
How does what I do connect with the long-term impact on the construction industry?
As a consultant in the field, you will be tasked with understanding and solving common problems. You will constantly be testing our products in the field so that we can rapidly iterate and improve them for anyone in the industry to use.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Paid Annual Leave 25 days + statutory Bank Holidays
Flexible hours
Pension & private health insurance
All travel costs outside of your local area are covered
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.
A generous equity scheme: as a fast-growing consultancy as well as the fact we are building software this has a huge upside, particularly for people that stay with us through our growth.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
After that, we will reach out to you to schedule a casual conversation to help you to know us a bit better and tell us a bit about yourself.
This is to ensure that when you join you are starting at the right level of responsibility based on your capability not just based on experience.
