高级项目控制工程师 (美国)

Join nPlan — build the cities of the future
We’re nPlan, a Series B startup backed by leading investors, including GV (formerly Google Ventures) and DeepMind’s founder, Sir Demis Hassabis. Our technology helps the world’s biggest construction projects make faster, more confident, data-driven decisions.
By combining one of the world’s largest datasets of project plans with advanced machine learning, we forecast project outcomes and reduce risk — reshaping how infrastructure gets built.
The Role
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 maximize the value they get from nPlan, and be part of the change to revolutionize 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.
You'll work remotely, with regular on-site visits to client projects, and travel to our London HQ twice a year to spend time with the wider team.
What We’re Looking For
We’re excited to hear from people who bring expertise, authority, and curiosity.
To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

• 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 (preferaby related to technology)

• Good understanding of large construction schedules (P6), how they are built, and how to analyze them.

• Demonstrable experience in implementing strategic projects that significantly improve an important outcome for an organization.

• 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.

Nice to haves:

• Experience working in a software company or on the implementation of software in the construction context

• Experience working with LLM applications

We care more about potential and drive than perfection. If you’re excited by what we’re building, we want to hear from you.
