  • Report and inform : Equip stakeholders at all levels with all the information they need to deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively. Lead collaborative 4D workshops and produce the necessary reports to achieve this.
  • Make scalable solutions: Develop scalable and repeatable best practices and tools in collaboration with the team so that long-term impact is achieved.

  • 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

    Can you tell me more about what the role is like?

    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. ()

    Who are our clients?

    Our clients include major Owners/Operators, Main Contractors, and Subcontractors, with project values between £1m and £1B+ globally.

    Where would I be working?

    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) locations in Europe or the Middle East to visit clients. It really depends on what you want to get involved with and what fits with your life.

    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. 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.
