Then youll use the plan to help the teams understand what to prioritise.

More specifically, youll 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 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 teams understanding and focus on the plan no matter how stubborn they are 3.

Laminar isnt the place for you if any of the following is true :

What kinds of projects would I be working on? Its common for people to be exposed to several projects in their first year with us. Youll work on some of the most complex and interesting environments in the world. Weve 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 worlds 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 arent hands-off assignments. Theyre 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 youll pop into our London office for a workshop or a beer. Maybe youll 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? Youre tasked with understanding and solving common problems. We dont want to reinvent the wheel every time, so youll be responsible for documenting new solutions and evolving ones weve developed. This goes into our knowledge repository, which were going to open source to the industry.

The knowledge you capture will be used by us to build new products. Youll constantly test those products in the field, so we can rapidly iterate and improve them for anyone in the industry to use. ____________________________________________________________ Benefits
