Project Manager Remote jobs in United Kingdom

Are you a Senior Project Manager who 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!

We are an award-winning consultancy that implements technology to improve the delivery of complex construction projects. Improving construction strengthens the very foundation of human civilisation. (Watch our short film about it)

We also have a separate product team, Shape Construction, that takes our deep understanding of the projects we work on to develop construction management software products.

The core of all this is our people. We only recruit kind and authentic individuals who are fast learners. We are deeply focused on designing a new type of place that is optimised for the flourishing of our team members. This approach has helped us grow from just 2 people in 2017 to over 200 today, and we are still very much at the beginning! Joining us isn’t just some “job”; we challenge you to be your best self in all aspects of life.

Our vision is designed to align our operations with the fundamental aspects that enable anyone to have a fulfilled life:

1. Connects us with meaningful relationships
2. Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans
3. Empowers us to pursue our own learning adventures

We believe a life of human flourishing is about meaningful relationships and challenging oneself to create a positive impact. Our values reflect the four levels of relationships:

• 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 enshrine these values in our vision and mission, aiming for everyone in our team to thrive and contribute positively to society.

This is a hybrid role combining remote work with site presence in the Cardiff area.

Who is this role for?

This role is for experienced project management professionals, preferably with experience in Data Centres, on the developer/end customer side, though we will consider GC experience as well. If you meet only some of these criteria, apply anyway—no one meets every requirement.

• Supercharge client service: Deliver cutting-edge project and cost management services using the latest digital tools.
• Cradle-to-grave expertise: Oversee all project aspects through Stages 2-6, following regional stage gate processes.
• Creation of detailed project execution plans: Develop plans appropriate to project stage and design maturity.

• Innovate fearlessly: Bring new ideas, design processes, and exceed industry expectations.
• Embrace digital transformation: Lead integration of project management through Laminar’s project controls approach.
• Think outside spreadsheets: Desire for a digitally enhanced approach is essential, data fanaticism not required.

Experience in data centre projects, understanding local regulations, and proven ability in project strategies, negotiations, and stakeholder management are valued but not essential.

Native speaking is desirable; understanding local regulations is a plus.

• Support contractor pre-qualification, bid processes, and recommendations
• Assist in contract negotiations, including GC business terms
• Coordinate design team activities
• Manage approvals, permits, and constructability reviews
• Gather and provide cost estimates, produce cash flow projections

• Own the outcome: Produce plans, manage stakeholders, and ensure integrated delivery.
• Report and inform: Provide clear, actionable reports for stakeholders.
• Make scalable solutions: Develop best practices and tools collaboratively.
• Develop everyone: Focus on personal and professional growth of your team and clients.

Extensive experience in construction project management, client interaction, and leadership skills are required. Additional training in data, planning software, and leadership will be provided if needed.
