We are Shape.Construction

We are digitising the largest and most fundamental industry in the world, the industry that literally builds the foundations of the civilisation we all depend on to spare us from a brutal hunter-gatherer life: CONSTRUCTION

It is one of the least digitised industries in the world but also the largest – 1 in 9 people globally work in the construction industry and it constitutes 11% of global GDP.

We got our start as a high-end construction project management consultancy. As a consultancy, we are focused on genuinely upgrading the way construction projects are delivered. We then take the deep understanding of the projects we work on to develop construction management software products that anyone can use to deliver their projects better.

The core of all this is our true secret sauce; people. We only recruit the very best both in capability and personality. We are deeply focused on designing a new type of organisation that is optimised for the flourishing of the people in the team first and foremost. People that join us develop fast as a whole person in ways they never imagined. (Read more about our vision and mission ).

This approach has allowed us to grow from just 2 people in 2017 to over 170 today (including consultancy) and we are still very much at the beginning Joining us isn't just some "job", it is a transformative educational experience. 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:

Connects us withmeaningful relationships

Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans

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 civilisation. This philosophy goes much deeper and you can see more on our website.

We are achieving this vision through the following two missions:

To fully digitise 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

As Digital Construction Implementation Engineer, you'll be responsible for helping construction organisations successfully adopt our tools on site. This will involve forming relationships with these customers and understanding their specific challenges, conducting training sessions, answering questions about the product, and working with them to identify ways they can get even more benefit from Shape.

You'll setup our Digital Implementation function to scale. You'll be particularly involved in gathering feedback from customers and helping the product team use those insights to improve our products.

Team

Digital Implementation at Shape is part of the product team. This is because we know the vital part it has to play in our product development process by being an important piece of our feedback cycle. This means at Shape, you'll be more likely to collaborate with a designer or engineer, than a sales consultant.

Your top 3 objectives

To onboard new customers and help them overcome the challenges when adopting our tools.

To learn the key challenges in the onboarding process and work with the product team to improve the product to solve them.

To implement a site adoption process that allows the function to scale as the business grows using data backed methods for both enterprise and self-serve customers.

Your top 5 responsibilities

Own relationships: you will own relationships with clients and be responsible for their success adopting Shape through the onboarding phase.

Monitor customer satisfaction: you will create a mechanism for monitoring customer's satisfaction using our products.

Collaborate with Product: using your insights gathered implementing Shape in the field, you will work closely with the product development team.

Stay up-to-date: the construction industry has unique challenges when it comes to technology adoption. You will be monitoring both the latest in trends in the industry and use this knowledge to become an expert in driving change.

Create materials: You will create materials that both help clients train their teams and contribute to our customer facing knowledge base.

Your Capabilities

You have worked in the construction industry in a site office role. You have probably used tools such as Excel, Word or perhaps construction specific software to manage your day-to-day. You are a clear communicator and are comfortable working with both people working on the front line and senior management to understand what they need from a product.

As a candidate, you should have:

• Mastery: Understanding of construction management practices. You have a good knowledge of the digital tools available to solve common problems.
• Communication: A confident and clear communicator, able to work closely with new clients. Able to listen and understand problems.
• Leadership: A self-starter. Able to work with leaders in the business to agree strategies and goals, and then capable of setting their own agenda to meet them.
• Impact: A track record of working with clients and demonstratable evidence on how you've helped them be successful.

We're looking for someone to work closely with our customers to ensure they succeed in adopting digital tools, in an industry where many fail. If you're working in construction and are frustrated because you know there's a better way. If you want to grow and put your skills to the test and exist at the cutting edge of the industry, we have an opportunity for you.
