Overview:

Our client is a global professional services firm renowned for operational excellence, disputes advisory, and complex transformation mandates.

Over the past two years, their UK & EMEA Construction, Disputes & Investigations practice has grown rapidly, establishing a high-calibre team advising on some of the most complex infrastructure, energy, and industrial disputes across the region. As part of continued expansion, they are now seeking a Consultant (Delay) to reinforce their scheduling and forensic planning capability.

This is not a traditional consultancy platform. It is entrepreneurial, commercially minded, and forward-moving, built around high performance, collaboration, and technical excellence. Importantly, the platform is not private equity-backed. It is growth-focused with long-term strategic intent.

The Opportunity:

You will join a growing delay and forensic planning team supporting major international arbitrations, adjudications, and high-value dispute matters.

The role offers exposure to:

• Complex delay analysis on major infrastructure and energy projects
• Expert witness report preparation
• Claims advisory and dispute avoidance work
• Direct engagement with senior experts and legal teams

With a relatively young but highly ambitious practice, there is clear scope to progress as the team continues to scale across UK and EMEA markets. This is a genuine opportunity to help build something, not just maintain an existing structure.

Your Responsibilities:

• Perform detailed delay analysis using recognised methodologies (e.g. Time Impact Analysis, Windows Analysis)
• Review and interrogate large-scale project programmes and supporting documentation
• Assist in the preparation of expert reports for arbitration and litigation
• Support senior experts in formal dispute proceedings
• Contribute to client-facing deliverables and presentations
• Participate in internal knowledge development and methodology refinement
• Engage in project advisory assignments where required

Your Profile:

• Degree qualified in engineering, construction management, or similar
• 3–7+ years’ experience in planning, delay analysis, or claims
• Experience with Primavera P6 or similar scheduling software
• Exposure to formal disputes or expert environments desirable but not essential
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and commercially aware
• Motivated by progression within a high-performance environment

What Sets This Apart:

• Tier-1 calibre leadership with strong market credibility
• Rapidly expanding UK & EMEA platform
• Entrepreneurial culture with real visibility to senior leadership
• Clear route for advancement as the team grows
• Exposure to premium mandates and sophisticated disputes
