    Default job background
    Description

    Ever wanted to get a taste of the start-up world but still be involved in construction and improving the industry? Do you feel that mentoring and growing alongside a team is one of the best feelings as a leader? Read on

    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. But in case you haven't: we are a Construction Consultancy & Tech Start-up Hybrid We help construction projects optimise their project management as a consultancy and then we use our revenues to develop our own software products. We do things the Laminar Way, that is, we bring control and clarity to projects by implementing pragmatic solutions using a mix of 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:

    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

    We believe that by first doing this we can achieve the highest levels of value for the world. Our community is currently pursuing two main missions that are mutually complimentary:

    1. To fully digitise the construction of human civilisation
    2. To create a new type of organisation that enables human flourishing while delivering a huge positive impact on society

    So, at this point you might be asking what makes us different from other opportunities you might be looking at. Here are a couple of pointers to answer that question:

    1. We aren't a company; we are a team. We thrive on being a growing start-up, with a dynamic culture and a tight-knit team. 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.
    2. Gain diverse experience. You'll get exposure to multiple projects including flagship projects such as High-Tech manufacturing plants, High-Speed Rail, Hospitals, Nuclear, or Hyperscale data centres for tech giants.
    3. 100% of our profits go into R&D projects, including developing our own platform to digitise construction project management. If there's an inner tech-y vein pulsing by now, this is the place to be
    4. Fast and transparent progression based on our development matrix. This means that our roles and salaries are purely meritocratic, focusing on capability over experience. So, if you have the skills to hop to the next level, you will get reviewed and promoted, simple as that. And if you don't have the skills yet, you can learn them with us.

    The Role

    We are currently looking for top-notch Planning Director to join our team. As a dynamic and tech-driven start-up, curiosity and ingenuity are two of the main traits that we love about our applicants

    1. Ensuring we deliver the absolute best impact and keep innovating
    2. Coaching our people to reach their true potential
    3. Setting and pushing the direction of the business towards our shared vision

    Directors at Laminar can switch easily between being very hands-on and delegating, depending on the scenario. Our clients include major Owner/Operators, Main Contractors and Subcontractors, with project values between £1m and £1B+ UK and Europe wide. Some travel is required to stay connected with clients and spend time with your team.

    1. Demonstrated history of implementing innovation to create real impact (Required)
    2. Demonstrated history of leading large teams at department level (Required)
    3. A relentless and dynamic approach to dealing with people and be able to influence them to take the best approach. (Required)

    Salary and Benefits

    Full-time contract, mostly remote with some client visits in UK / Europe. Flexible hours. Health Insurance and NEST pension scheme. Leadership and sales bonuses. Annual bonus in equity depending on the level. You will be supported to excel in whichever areas you are most interested in With Laminar, development is unbounded.

    Application

    In terms of application, we usually start with a screening call to tell you what we are all about in a small, casual conversation. That helps you to know us a bit better and tell us a bit about yourself. We then have a brief technical interview to highlight some examples of specific skills. We are more interested in understanding your thought process regarding problems than your proficiency with software. The next step would be a small presentation to assess your communication skills, followed by separate interviews with 3 different directors. From there on, it is down to the offer stage.

    Important

    We get hundreds of applications so please include a short summary/cover letter explaining why you want to join us and what you think you bring to the team - We aren't a giant faceless corporation; we really care about the people who want to join our team so all letters will be read by one of the Partners.
