(this will be a long write up but we like to give you all the details before you spend your time applying)
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 the deep understanding of the projects we work on to develop construction management software products.
The core of all this is our true secret sauce; people. We only recruit kind and authentic people who are fast learners. We are deeply focused on designing a new type of place that is optimised for the flourishing of the people in the team first and foremost. This approach has allowed us to grow from just 2 people in 2017 to over 220 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 how we operate with the fundamental aspects that enable anyone to have a fulfilled life:
Connects us with meaningful relationships
Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans
Empowers us to pursue our own learning adventures
4 core values for a good life
We believe a life of human flourishing is all about meaningful relationships with others and challenging yourself to create a positive impact. Our four core values are grow yourself, care about people, execute to greatness and build civilisation. This philosophy goes much deeper and you can see more on our website.
We are achieving this vision through the following two missions:
To fully digitise the construction of human civilisation
To create a new type of organisation that enables human flourishing while delivering a huge positive impact on society
As our L&D Specialist, you'll own learning and development projects from end to end. You'll partner closely with stakeholders to understand what they actually need (not just what they first ask for), design learning experiences built around how people really learn, pilot solutions, and continuously refine them based on feedback and results.
Alongside project work, you'll help keep our learning management system (Thrive) running smoothly, supporting users, managing learning content and using data to understand what's working and where we can improve. You'll also be comfortable using AI as part of your day-to-day work, exploring how it can help us design, develop and deliver high-quality learning faster and smarter without compromising quality.
As you develop in the role, you'll have opportunities to facilitate learning sessions and contribute to a wide variety of L&D initiatives across the business. We're a small team with plenty of exciting projects, so you'll gain broad experience, take on increasing responsibility and have lots of opportunities to learn and grow.
Team
You'll report directly to the L&D Lead as part of a small, hands-on and collaborative L&D team. You'll receive plenty of support as you get up to speed, while being trusted with real ownership from the start. We value people who take initiative, are comfortable navigating ambiguity and enjoy challenging ideas to find better solutions.
Like everyone at Laminar, you'll have your own Individual Development Plan, designed to support both your personal and professional growth. Working with your manager and a wider development team, you'll set meaningful goals, build new skills and continue developing throughout your career. It's a core part of how we invest in our people, and something you'll experience yourself, not just help deliver for others.
Your top three objectives
Design and deliver impactful learning solutions that build capability and help all Lamineers to flourish
Build trusted partnerships with stakeholders to identify learning needs and create the right solutions.
Commit to continuous improvement by embracing new ways of working, growing your own capability and contributing to the development of others.
Your top five responsibilities
Partner and challenge: Work closely with stakeholders to explore growth opportunities. Ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions and help shape the right learning solution.
Design, test and improve: Create engaging, discovery-led learning experiences. Pilot ideas before scaling, gather meaningful feedback and continuously refine solutions to maximise their impact.
Support our learning ecosystem: Keep Thrive running smoothly by maintaining content, supporting users, monitoring learning data and reporting on what's working and where we can improve.
Use AI with purpose: Embrace AI as part of your everyday workflow, identifying practical ways it can help us design, develop and deliver learning more efficiently, while applying critical thinking to ensure quality always comes first.
Facilitate and contribute: Facilitate learning sessions, including our Laminar Way series, and contribute to a wide range of L&D initiatives, building your facilitation skills and broadening your impact over time.
Your Capabilities
You'll thrive in this role if you're curious about how people learn and enjoy designing learning solutions that make a real difference. You're comfortable taking ownership, asking thoughtful questions and navigating ambiguity to find the best way forward. You enjoy variety and working across different parts of the L&D cycle.
As a candidate, you should have:
Must-Have (The fundamentals)
Mastery:2-4 years' experience in L&D, training design, facilitation, coaching, people development or consultancy. Understands what makes learning effective, from uncovering the real need to designing experiences that people can apply in their work. Curious about learning technology (no experience with Thrive or Rise 360 needed) and excited by the potential of AI to design and deliver learning more effectively, with the judgement to know when it adds value. A degree in Behavioural Science, Organisational Psychology, Educational Psychology, L&D or a related field is a bonus, not a requirement.
Communication: Builds relationships easily and asks good questions to get to the real need behind a request. Communicates clearly, listens well, and adapts to the audience. Shares a point of view while staying open to feedback.
Leadership: Takes initiative rather than waiting to be asked. Comfortable working through ambiguity, makes decisions within their remit, knows when to escalate, and is keen to grow in confidence and capability over time.
Impact: An experience in taking ownership of projects and improving processes, and a genuine interest in growth. Like everyone at Laminar, you’ll have your own Individual Development Plan, and we’re looking for someone who is excited to use it to continue growing.
Nice to have (or areas you'll develop with us)
Mastery: Experience designing learning using Rise 360 and working with a Learning Management System. Some experience facilitating learning sessions, whether through training, workshops, coaching, teaching or knowledge-sharing.
Communication: Experience working with different stakeholder groups or in a consultancy-style environment.
Leadership: An interest in developing your facilitation skills and growing into more coaching-style conversations with stakeholders over time.
Laminar isn’t the place for you if any of the following is true:
You want an easy, chilled-out role without much challenge
You like to be the smartest person in the room
You don’t like continuously receiving honest candid feedback
You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team
Health Insurance Scheme. Comprehensive private health coverage - for you and your family. Because your well-being is our priority
Bonus Scheme. As a permanent member of the team, you’ll share in our success. Our annual bonus is designed to reward both the now and the future - with a flexible mix of cash and high-growth equity that you choose. Bonuses are discretionary and based on performance
Professional body membership. One fee covered per year - so you can stay connected to your field and develop your craft
The Life-Changing Stuff
In-house coaching: Regular 1:1 coaching sessions, fully confidential, to help you navigate challenges, build self-awareness, and grow intentionally - professionally and as a human being
Flexibility: Getting things done is what really matters, not what time of day you do it. That means you don’t have to ask permission for things like picking up your kids or going to the doctor, just keep your team in the loop if you think they will be affected.
Grow your whole self: Our leaders are more like coaches and one of our main objectives is to give 5 years’ worth of learning and development for every 1 year with us. You have a coach, mentor, well-being therapist and a development-orientated environment: That’s literally what our vision is all about and the primary reason Laminar exists.
Be surrounded by the best: We only hire and retain the very best people. You might be used to being the smartest in the room but that won’t be the case in Laminar. You will be surrounded by people you can learn from. We are 100% meritocratic so fast progression is the norm. You will be supported to excel in whichever areas you are most interested in! With Laminar, development is unbounded
Long-term impact: We are focused on solving the biggest issues in construction project delivery in a way that can spread and outlast us
