Innovative Project Controls Manager; Data Centres​/Buildings​/tech​/Infrastructure - UK; Hybrid

Are you a seasoned project controls guru that 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 always cared about the importance of proper planning and the connection between the schedule and the real day-to-day delivery of the job?

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!

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.

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.

A life of human flourishing is all about meaningful relationships and challenging yourself to create a positive impact, so our values reflect the four levels of relationships that each of us has:

• Grow yourself – your relationship with yourself
• Care about people – your relationship with others around you
• Execute to greatness – your relationship with your team
• Build civilisation – your relationship with humanity and the world

We enshrined our values in our vision:

We exist so that everyone in our team can flourish in a high‑impact community that:

• Connects us with meaningful relationships
• Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans
• Empowers us to pursue our own learning adventures

By first doing this, we can achieve the highest levels of value for the world.

And enable the achievement of our vision through our two missions:

• To fully digitalise the construction of human civilisation
• To create a new type of organisation that enables human flourishing while delivering a huge positive impact on society
