[Hiring] Senior Project Controls Engineer @nPlan

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Project Controls Engineer with a background in project controls, risk analysis and/or complex construction schedules of major projects to join our growing client team. You will also have exposure to generative AI (personal or professional) and a strong interest in this space.

In this role, you’ll use your expertise to help our clients maximise the value they get from nPlan, and be part of the change to revolutionise the industry. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the limitations of QSRA workshops, poor forecasting data, or limited time for analysis, this could be the job for you.

You’ll have autonomy, ownership, and trust from day one, and you’ll be working with talented people who care deeply about our mission.

While you work remotely, you will also attend monthly client visits and team meetings in our London office as well as have the opportunity to visit our international clients.

Qualifications

• Approximately 3+ years of experience in a planning, risk, PMO, or project management role on major construction projects.
• Client-facing transformation experience, where you’ve worked to change processes with clients, where the change was challenging to implement and involved multiple stakeholders agreeing to a new way of working (preferably related to technology).
• Good understanding of large construction schedules (P6), how they are built, and how to analyse them.
• Demonstrable experience in implementing strategic projects that significantly improve an important outcome for an organisation.
• Passion for implementing technology to improve the construction industry.
• Attention to detail - please mention the word ‘crane’ in your application form.
• Excellent relationship-building skills: You care deeply about delighting customers.

Requirements

• Experience working in a software company or on the implementation of software in the construction context (nice to have).
• Experience working with LLM applications (nice to have).

Benefits

• Competitive salary between $80k - $110k + generous equity - when nPlan succeeds, so do you!
• Flexible hours, remote-friendly, with a Shoreditch office HQ.
• Uncapped holiday, private medical insurance, personal learning and development budget, enhanced family and sick leave, and more.
• Room to grow — we’re just over 50 people and scaling fast.
• Guided by our values: Learn from Everything. Be Radically Truthful. Aim High, Run Fast.

Application Process

Once you’ve applied, you will hear from us within a week. Interview stages typically include:

• A 30-minute intro chat.
• A role-specific interview or assignment.
• An interview focusing on our culture and values.
• A final stage to test collaboration with our team (on-site or remote).

We aim to complete the process within 3–4 weeks, but can move faster if necessary (just let us know). We want every candidate to have a positive experience — and we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
