    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you tell me more about what the role is like

    The nature of joining a Consultancy is you will be exposed to a wide variety of work and sectors, requiring versatility and a can-do attitude supported by a range of professional experience in your career to date. However, this job ad is leaning into Laminar's transition towards client-side projects, as we have established a foothold providing planning and project management services for clients, and foresee rapid growth for project coming, specifically within the Data Centre sector, in 2024.

    We have developed a Claim Strength Calculator which has been the gateway to providing an increasing amount of specialist claims support, and this is just the beginning.

    The role will include but not be limited to:

  • Business Development – bid writing, sales presentations, networking/professional events, campaign ideation/implementation alongside our growth team.
  • Business Maturity – contributing to OKR setting and working towards these, helping develop business infrastructure (processes, procedures, templates, tools) to support Laminar in our quest to digitalise the construction industry, surpass client expectations, and do so in aligned collaboration with the wider business.
  • Live Project and Cost Management – delivering the fundamental day job with half an eye on how your actions support the wider business towards the short to medium term goal of offering full project delivery.
  • Specialist Claims support – building upon the foundation created by the innovative Claims Strength Calculator, to make Laminar one of the leading players in dispute management/avoidance.

    • What kinds of projects would I be working on?

    Whilst Laminar supports many types of complex projects including; data centers, highways, railways, nuclear power plants, high-end residential, and any other type of complex project you can think of (). This role will specifically focus on data centers for clients.

    Who are our clients?

    Our clients include major Owners/Operators, Main Contractors, and Subcontractors, with project values between £1m and £1B+ globally. With regards to Data Centres, we work with all the major developers and end customers dominating this sector, with an ever growing order book.

    Where would I be working?

    As a general rule, we attend projects 4/5 days a week if site is within a reasonable daily commute.

    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. We don't want to reinvent the wheel every time so you will be responsible for documenting new solutions and evolving existing ones we have developed. The improvement never stops. This will go into our knowledge repository which we are going to open source to the industry.
    The knowledge you capture will be used to develop new products which we will build. 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.
