The nature of your work will be varied, challenging and fast paced, working on multiple projects simultaneously, as you contribute to the delivery of technical projects for our clients. You’ll utilise your skills and experience to determine findings, draw conclusions and develop recommendations for our clients, communicating these through client reports and presentations.

Our consultants evolve and grow in a variety of different ways, however typically you will specialise in a few technical areas/industries and often progress into project management, overseeing our key strategic projects.
