The opportunity
As a Senior Consultant at Proxima in our Capital Procurement practice, you will lead complex workstreams and manage senior stakeholders while delivering innovative solutions and mentoring junior consultants. You will be part of client-facing teams delivering high-impact commercial, sourcing, and supplier initiatives, supporting the development of insights, contributing to solution design, and playing an active role in delivering outcomes, not just recommendations.
This is not a passive learning role. At Proxima, we are practitioner-consultants. You will build experience quickly, take responsibility early, and work alongside clients to deliver real, measurable change.
What you’ll do
Support delivery across client engagements
- Experience leading teams and workstreams or projects across complex engagements, including transport, energy, utilities, and complex construction projects, with clients and stakeholders across the UK and Europe.
- Develop and implement sourcing strategies for capital infrastructure programs, including commercial models, risk allocation, and whole life cost analysis to meet challenging timelines and budgets.
- Identify opportunities supporting client value and revenue growth.
