Top-notch Planning Manager - UK Defence (Hybrid)

Are you a bit tired of the standard, old-fashioned way of doing things in the construction industry? Have you always cared about the importance of proper planning and the connection between the schedule and the real, day-to-day delivery of the job? Do you get deep satisfaction from making things run more efficiently using a good dose of common sense and maybe a bit of technology? Sounds like a dream. Well, it isn’t. It’s 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. (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.
