Laminar Projects

Are you 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?  Sounds like a dream. Well, it isn’t. It’s quite real! Read on.  ____________________________________________________________ We are Laminar Projects!   If you’ve already heard about us, you’re probably reading this because you’re tired of the typical, chaotic ways of doing things in construction. But in case you haven’t, we’re a high-end project management consultancy and tech developer with a focus on upgrading the way construction projects are delivered.   Improving construction strengthens the very foundation of human civilisation. (Check out our short film about it.) We bring transparency and control to projects through a pragmatic mix of the latest tech, our own processes, and a big dose of common sense. We then take our deep understanding of these projects and we invest heavily into developing the digital solutions that anyone can use to deliver their projects better. (Check out Shape, our construction management tech, to see what we’re doing.)   The core of all this is our true secret sauce: our people. We only recruit the very best, both in capability and personality. We’re deeply focused on designing a new type of organisation that’s optimised for the flourishing of the people in the team first and foremost. People who join us develop fast as a whole person in ways they never imagined. (Read more about our vision and missions.)   This approach has allowed us to grow from just two people in 2017 to over 220 today. We have a stable, repeat client base across infrastructure and complex building projects in the UK and internationally, and we’re still growing fast. Joining us isn’t just some “job”. It’s a transformative educational experience. We challenge you to be your best self in all aspects of life. There are many diverse and interesting challenges available. It’s up to you to guide yourself into whichever areas you’re most interested – we’ll enable it.    (Get to know us better by watching a few more of our videos.)   Core values for a good life   A life of human flourishing is all about meaningful relationships and challenging yourself to create a positive impact, so our values reflect the four levels of relationships that each of us has:   - Grow yourself – your relationship with yourself  - Care about people – your relationship with others around you  - Execute to greatness – your relationship with your team  - Build civilisation – your relationship with humanity and the world    We enshrined our values in our vision:   We exist so that everyone in our team can flourish in a high-impact community that:   - Connects us with meaningful relationships  - Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans  - Empowers us to pursue our own learning adventures    By first doing this, we can achieve the highest levels of value for the world.   And enable the achievement of our vision through our two missions:   - To fully digitalise the construction of human civilisation  - To create a new type of organisation that enables human flourishing while delivering a huge positive impact on society  ____________________________________________________________ The Role    Purpose of the role    You’ll be enhancing the delivery of the most complex and interesting projects in the world through the power of project planning to the very highest standards. You’ll devise strategies and tactics to improve the way the project is delivered. You’ll translate this knowledge into a logic-linked plan and analyse it using planning software. Then you’ll use the plan to help the teams understand what to prioritise.    Your team    This role is part of our Project Management Consultancy team which focuses on:   - Understanding what the real problems of projects are  - Implementing the best solutions to those problems  - Developing scalable best practices, tools and technology    More specifically, you’ll be part of our Project Planning Team, who are industry leaders in the planning of complex construction projects. Your initial leader will be one of our planning discipline directors.   Your top three objectives    1. To make construction projects deliver to near perfection  2. To create scalable and repeatable solutions to common problems  3. To develop yourself and everyone around you    Your top five responsibilities    1. Own the plan: Own the project plan for one or more projects and ensure that the project is working to it effectively. Ensure delays are mitigated and managed commercially  2. Own the outcome: You're responsible for putting in your best effort to ensure the project team’s understanding and focus on the plan – no matter how stubborn they are  3. Report and inform: Provide simple, actionable reports to stakeholders at all levels that help them deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively  4. Make scalable solutions: Develop scalable and repeatable best practices and tools in collaboration with the team so that long-term impact is achieved  5. Develop everyone: Maximise the development of your team personally and professionally and educate our clients to improve as well     You must have:   - A construction engineering background: You have at least 2+ years of experience on construction projects, experience in project planning both software and principles, as well as decent Excel skills, and a strong interest in data - Communication skills: You’re proficient in written and verbal English and have the charisma and influence to get construction people to do new things and take the best approach  - Leadership capabilities: You lead yourself proactively and lead others by asking the right questions and challenging them  - Impact: You have a track record of making projects and organisations better beyond just doing the basics – implementing scalable, repeatable solutions that had a significant positive impact    Laminar isn’t the place for you if any of the following is true:    - You want an easy, chilled-out role without much challenge  - You like to be the smartest person in the room  - You don’t like continuously receiving honest candid feedback  - You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team ____________________________________________________________ Frequently Asked Questions    What kinds of projects would I be working on? It’s common for people to be exposed to several projects in their first year with us. You’ll work on some of the most complex and interesting environments in the world. We’ve delivered over 100 data centres internationally, many of them fast-tracked and multi-package. Our teams have supported flagship infrastructure programmes like HS2 through integrated planning and digital delivery, contributed to over $30bn in power generation and transmission projects, and played a key role in the development of high-containment labs and R&D campuses for some of the world’s most advanced industrial and life sciences clients. You might find yourself working in sectors such as data centres, infrastructure (including defense, rail, and highways), high tech (such as advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors), or complex building projects. These aren’t hands-off assignments. They’re dynamic, hands-on environments designed for people who want to be challenged. We bring back the lessons from every project to help our team grow and deliver the highest levels of value. (Check out our case stories.)    Who are our clients? Major owners/operators and main contractors with project values between £1m and £1bn+ globally.    Where would I be working? One week you might be working from home. The next, you might travel to the site to meet the construction teams and help organise them. Maybe you’ll pop into our London office for a workshop or a beer. Maybe you’ll fly out to exotic (and sometimes not!) locations in Europe or the Middle East to visit clients. It really depends on what you want to get involved in and what fits with your life.    How does what I do connect with the long-term impact on the construction industry?  You’re tasked with understanding and solving common problems. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel every time, so you’ll be responsible for documenting new solutions and evolving ones we’ve developed. This goes into our knowledge repository, which we’re going to open source to the industry.    The knowledge you capture will be used by us to build new products. You’ll constantly test those products in the field, so we can rapidly iterate and improve them for anyone in the industry to use.  ____________________________________________________________ Important! Applying properly   We get thousands of applications so please write us a letter as part of your application explaining:   - Why you want to join us  - What you’ll bring to the team    We aren't a giant, faceless corporation; we really care about the people who want to join our team, so your letter will be read carefully. After that, we’ll reach out to you to schedule a casual conversation to help you get to know us a bit better and tell us a bit about yourself. A couple of technical and personal assessments follow to understand your capability based on our own development matrix.     This is to ensure that when you join, you’re starting at the right level of responsibility.
