Manufacturing Operations Consultant - London

Department: Consulting

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: London, UK

Description

Do you want to…

  • Work in manufacturing, and be paid to travel to interesting manufacturing sites around the country (and even the world), but have your weekends free at home?
  • Use your technical skills and training to solve problems across a variety of manufacturing industries, including but not limited to food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, protective fabrics, and many others?
  • Make an immediate impact, helping client teams implement real improvements in manufacturing processes within your first month of work?
  • Receive tailored development coaching from day 1, in an organization that values helping you grow your skills as quickly as possible?

If so, a career as an Operations Consultant at Chartwell could be for you!

Chartwell consultants embed ourselves at client sites Monday – Thursday to work with client teams to deliver step-change improvements in performance. This means spending time on the shop floor rather than just behind a computer, as well as working with people and machines to figure out what the real problems are – and how you’re going to fix them.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
