About the Position

Unifier Implementation Lead (UK)

United Kingdom / Barcelona / Italy / Romania

Consulting – Planning & Controls

Full-time

Hybrid

Do you get a thrill from using technology to make projects run like a well-oiled machine?

Do you dream of a world where construction projects don’t run on Excel?

Would you say that well-configured systems can be the key to unlock the mythical treasure of delivering capital projects on time and on budget?

Have you survived the rollercoaster of large-scale system implementation, managed to conquer the chaos, and somehow still want to continue on this journey?

Let’s talk!

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. (Check out our short film about it.)

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. (Check out Shape, our construction management tech, to see what we’re doing.)

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. (Read more about our vision and missions.)

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.

Purpose of the Role

You will be enhancing the delivery of the most complex and interesting projects in the world by leading and supporting deployment of specialized project controls systems that help streamline operations and make life easier for the project teams. You’ll be involved in every phase from gathering requirements and identifying business challenges to recommending the best systems, configuring them with industry-leading practices, and driving training and adoption to make a real impact.

We work with various systems, but for this role, we are specifically looking for expertise in deploying Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) and/or Primavera Unifier. Experience with planning in Primavera P6 is a must, and good command of platforms like Oracle Aconex, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Fusion ERP would be a valuable asset. You’ll lead on the technology aspect, but with a strong focus on people and process, so your communication skills need to be excellent.

You’ll join a rapidly growing team responsible for sales and implementation of the project controls systems. There will be opportunities to manage people, lead projects, drive system sales, develop internal processes, and take on key business development activities.

Adaptability is key. Given our rapid growth, your focus might shift from Oracle systems implementation to planning and project controls when there’s a need. If you're open to that kind of flexibility, this role is for you!

Responsibilities

Own the implementation plan: Own the system implementation plan and drive software configuration and adoption to achieve desired outcomes.
Develop impactful solutions: Leverage your planning and project controls expertise to design and configure scalable, optimized and fit-for-purpose solutions on Oracle systems.
Manage people and process: While great technical solutions are important, successfully deploying them to a large user base requires more than just a good config. Engaging all relevant stakeholders is key, ensuring they understand that the new processes and tools are designed to make their lives easier.
Report and inform: Provide simple actionable reports to stakeholders at all levels that help them deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively.
Develop everyone: Maximise the development of your team personally and professionally and educate our clients to improve as well.

Requirements

Must-Have (The fundamentals)

Mastery: Experience deploying Oracle Systems in the construction industry, combined with the experience in planning in Primavera P6.

Leadership: Proactively take ownership of tasks, inspire others through thoughtful questions, and challenge the team to think critically and stay on track.

Mastery: Project management, and data visualization skills.
Communication: The charisma, influence and presence to get construction people to do new things and take the best approach.
Leadership: A proven leader/coach/developer of teams or teams of teams.
