Applications are one short Loom video - how to apply is at the bottom, after you've read the role.
First, what you're walking into
Plan@Job didn't start as a product. It started as our own tool. Almost two years ago, our operations team sat down with a team of web developers. One side ran the jobs. The other side turned how we run them into systems. Screen by screen, until the whole operation lived in one place. The operations side is led by Mohamed El Hadri - you might know him as mointhemarket. He's got his part in the platform, and his job in it is the growth.
Ten thousand plus real jobs sit behind it. Small repairs. Larger construction works. All of it run through our own companies. Every screen exists because a live job needed it. Nothing in there is theory. And it sits in the middle of everything built around one keyword: construction arbitrage.
For almost two years it was ours only. And honest truth, it wasn't finished. We still needed other tools around it. Not anymore. Everything is in now. A contractor opens it and builds a whole network from inside it. Subcontractors on one side. Clients on the other.
Now it opens to the public. And there's no checkout page. You don't buy your way in. Access is a referral, and a referral comes after training. Three sessions. One hour each. One per week. That's the product we sell: the training. No training, no referral.

The role
Work gets priced before it gets done, and the price decides whether the job was worth doing at all. This seat owns that.
You price client work, and you price with subcontractors. Take offs, schedules of rates, and quotes that are quick enough to win and accurate enough to survive the job.
Ten thousand plus jobs already sit in our platform with what they actually cost. You will be pricing against real history instead of a guess.
What you'll do
- Price jobs: measure, take off, apply rates, produce the quote.
- Price with subcontractors, and hold the margin between what we pay and what we charge.
- Turn quotes around fast. A slow quote loses work it would have won.
- Feed back what jobs really cost, so the next price is better than the last.
What we look for
- You have estimated construction or maintenance work before, at any scale.
- Comfortable with schedules of rates and measured work.
- Fast without being careless.
- Fluent English.
Don't send a Loom if
- You need a full specification before you can price anything. Plenty of our work arrives as photos and a phone call.
- You have never had to defend a price to a client.
- Slow and perfect is your only speed. Fast and right wins the work.
No hard feelings either way. The seats work because the right people sit in them.
See the platform before the interview
Whatever the seat, the work runs inside Plan@Job - the jobs, the quotes, the subcontractors, the documents and the invoices all sit in one place. Have a look at it before we speak, and come with questions.

No forms, no CV. One short Loom video, two or three minutes, covering three things:
A little introduction
Who you are, where you're based, what you're doing right now.
What you've done in this kind of work
The jobs you've held, how long you've been at it, and one thing you owned end to end. Honest beats impressive.
