Your initial leader will be one of our project controls discipline directors. /p h3Your top three objectives /h3 ol liTo make construction projects deliver to near perfection /li liTo develop yourself and everyone around you /li liTo create scalable and repeatable solutions to common problems /li /ol h3Your top five responsibilities /h3 ol libOwn the controls: /b Own the controls for cost, schedule, change and risk on one or more projects to enable accurate decisions for project teams /li libDevelop everyone: /b Maximise the development of your team personally and professionally and educate our clients to improve as well /li libMake scalable solutions: /b Develop scalable and repeatable best practices and tools in collaboration with the team so that long-term impact is achieved /li libReport and inform: /b Provide simple actionable reports to stakeholders at all levels that help them deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively /li libOwn the outcome:

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. 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 RD campuses for some of the world’s 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 aren’t hands-off assignments. They’re 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. /p pbWho are our clients? /b /p pMajor owners/operators and main contractors with project values between £1m and £1bn+ globally. /p pbWhere would I be working? /b /p pOne 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 pop into our London office for a workshop or a beer. Maybe you’ll 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. /p pbHow does what I do connect with the long-term impact on the construction industry? /b /p pYou’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. /p pThe 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. /p h3Important! Applying properly /h3 pWe get thousands of applications so please write us a letter as part of your application explaining: /p ul liWhy you want to join us /li liWhat you’ll bring to the team /li /ul pWe 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. /p pThis is to ensure that when you join, you’re starting at the right level of responsibility. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
