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. We then take our deep understanding of these projects and we invest heavily into developing the digital solutions that anyone can use to deliver their projects better. The core of all this is our true secret sauce: our people. We only recruit the very best, both in capability and personality. We’re deeply focused on designing a new type of organisation that’s optimised for the flourishing of the people in the team first and foremost. People who join us develop fast as a whole person in ways they never imagined.

This approach has allowed us to grow from just two people in 2017 to over 220 today. We have a stable, repeat client base across infrastructure and complex building projects in the UK and internationally, and we’re still growing fast. Joining us isn’t just some “job”. It’s a transformative educational experience. We challenge you to be your best self in all aspects of life. There are many diverse and interesting challenges available. It’s up to you to guide yourself into whichever areas you’re most interested – we’ll enable it.

Responsibilities

• Own the plan (Production & Delivery Focus): Own and optimise the project plan and actively drive its implementation with contractors. Ensure plans are buildable, coordinated, and aligned with site realities, with a strong focus on short-term delivery. Mitigate/reduce delays through proactive delivery planning, constraint removal, and verifying construction sequencing with contractors.
• Facilitate contractor planning and execution: Work directly with contractors to develop and maintain high-quality, logic-driven programmes. Lead look-ahead planning (2–6 weeks), coordinate trades, and ensure teams are clear on priorities, access, and constraints.
• Implement collaborative planning methods: Facilitate Last Planner System (LPS) practices including look-ahead planning, weekly work planning, and constraint management. Lead milestone pull planning sessions to break down key phases into logistically deliverable and sequenced work packages.
• Report and improve delivery performance: Provide insights on plan performance, progress, and risks. Track metrics such as PPC and reasons for variance, and work with teams to continuously improve plan reliability and productivity.
• Make scalable solutions & develop others: Develop and implement repeatable planning and logistics approaches and tools. Support the development of project teams and contractors by coaching in planning best practices and delivery-focused thinking.

Important! Applying properly

We get thousands of applications so please write us a letter as part of your application explaining:

• Why you want to join us
• What you’ll bring to the team

We aren't a giant, faceless corporation; we really care about the people who want to join our team, so your letter will be read carefully. After that, we’ll reach out to you to schedule a casual conversation to help you get to know us a bit better and tell us a bit about yourself. A couple of technical and personal assessments follow to understand your capability based on our own development matrix.

This is to ensure that when you join, you’re starting at the right level of responsibility.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
