A great opportunity to be part of our fast-growing team and be one of the first joiners in the USA as we expand from Europe. Are you a seasoned construction scheduler who is a bit tired of the standard old-fashioned way of doing things in the construction industry? Do you get deep satisfaction from making things run more efficiently using a good dose of common sense and maybe a bit of technology? Have you ever wanted to work a bit more flexibly but still be hands-on in construction and improving the industry? Sounds like a dream. Well, it isn't, it is quite real! Read on!
We are Laminar Projects! If you've already heard about us, you're probably reading this because you're tired of the typical, chaotic ways of doing things in construction. But in case you haven't, we're a high-end project management consultancy and tech developer with a focus on upgrading the way construction projects are delivered. Improving construction strengthens the very foundation of human civilisation. We bring transparency and control to projects through a pragmatic mix of the latest tech, our own processes, and a big dose of common sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of projects would I be working on? It's common for people to be exposed to several projects in their first year with us. You'll work on some of the most complex and interesting environments in the world. We've delivered over 100 data centres internationally, many of them fast-tracked and multi-package; flagship infrastructure programmes like HS2, where we've supported integrated planning and digital delivery; over $30bn in power generation and transmission projects; and high-containment labs and R&D campuses for some of the world's most advanced industrial and life sciences clients.
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 you'll fly out to exotic (and sometimes not!) locations in the US 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? You're tasked with understanding and solving common problems. We don't want to reinvent the wheel every time, so you'll be responsible for documenting new solutions and evolving ones we've developed. This goes into our knowledge repository, which we're going to open source to the industry. The knowledge you capture will be used by us to build new products. You'll constantly test those products in the field, so we can rapidly iterate and improve them for anyone in the industry to use.
