Are you 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's quite real! Read on.

Who are our clients? Major owners/operators and main contractors with project values between £1m and £1bn+ globally. Where would I be working? One 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. How does what I do connect with the long term impact on the construction industry? You'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. The knowledge you capture will be used by us to build new products. You'll constantly test those products in the field . click apply for full job details
