lavori da Filosofia in località Regno Unito

Do you get a thrill from using technology to make projects run like a well-oiled machine?

Do you dream of a world where construction projects don’t run on Excel?

Would you say that well-configured systems can be the key to unlock the mythical treasure of delivering capital projects on time and on budget?

Have you survived the rollercoaster of large-scale system implementation, managed to conquer the chaos, and somehow still want to continue on this journey?

The Role

Purpose of the role

You will be enhancing the delivery of the most complex and interesting projects in the world by leading and supporting deployment of specialized project controls systems that help streamline operations and make life easier for the project teams. You’ll be involved in every phase from gathering requirements and identifying business challenges to recommending the best systems, configuring them with industry-leading practices, and driving training and adoption to make a real impact.

We work with various systems, but for this role, we are specifically looking for expertisein deployingOracle Primavera Cloud (OPC)and / or Primavera Unifier. Experience with planning in Primavera P6 is a must, and good command of platforms like Oracle Aconex, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Fusion ERP would be a valuable asset. You’ll lead on the technology aspect, but with a strong focus on people and process, so your communication skills need to be excellent.

You’lljoin a rapidly growing team responsible for sales and implementation of the project controls systems. There will be opportunities to manage people, lead projects, drive system sales, develop internal processes, and take on key business development activities.

Adaptability is key. Given our rapid growth, your focus might shift from Oracle systems implementation to planning and project controls when there’s a need. If you're open to that kind of flexibility, this role is for you!

Team

This role is part of our Project Management Consultancy which focuses on :

• Understanding what the real problems of projects are
• Implementing the best solutions to those problems
• Developing scalable best practices, tools and technology

More specifically you will join the Integrated Project Controls Systems (IPCS) team who are industry leaders in improving delivery of complex projects through deployment of the most suitable software on the market.

Your top 3 objectives :

1. To make construction projects deliver to near perfection

2. To create scalable and repeatable solutions to common problems

3. To develop yourself and everyone around you

Your top 5 responsibilities

1. Own the implementation plan : Own the system implementation plan and drive software configuration and adoption to achieve desired outcomes. We believe in your ability to assess the situation and commit to what is achievable.

2. Develop impactful solutions : Leverage your planning and project controls expertise to design and configure scalable, optimized and fit-for-purpose solutions on Oracle systems.

3. Manage people and process : While great technical solutions are important, successfully deploying them to a large user base requires more than just a good config. Engaging all relevant stakeholders is key, ensuring they understand that the new processes and tools are designed to make their lives easier.

4. Report and inform : Provide simple actionable reports to stakeholders at all levels that help them deliver their part of the project more efficiently and effectively.

5. Develop everyone : Maximise the development of your team personally and professionally and educate our clients to improve as well. (even if you are junior you can help your leader develop too!).

Your Capabilities

We are looking for a dynamic individual who can leverage their planning and project controls expertise to configure and deploy flagship Oracle systems. While we’ve already got an army of Primavera P6 experts, this role focuses on OPC and Unifier. Don’t worry if you are not an expert in all listed tools, but the more you know, the better! At Laminar, we’re all from the construction world, and we would like you to bring that experience too. Understanding the daily challenges faced by folks delivering projects helps us configure systems that truly make their lives easier - and that’s the goal! You’ll need to enjoy learning and be willing to dive into training and user manuals to find answers. While this is a technical role, it’s equally important that you’re a strong communicator who can keep people engaged and aligned with a shared vision. Sound like you? Keep reading!

What matters most to us is your attitude, drive, and people skills. We’re looking for someone who has a knack for configuring Oracle systems and some experience in planning and project controls in the construction industry. You don’t need to be an expert, we’ll provide training and development to help you grow. What’s most important is that you enjoy the work and are eager to learn and develop along the way.
