About the Role
The Senior Consultant (@Infrastructure is integral to our expanding #Infrastructure team, driving innovation across UK infrastructure.

Working at the intersection of systemic barriers (commercial, regulatory, assurance) and cutting-edge technologies (Infratech, ConTech, Safetytech, whole-life asset management), you’ll identify, shape, and deliver new projects—from strategic opportunities to bid development, outcome closure, and final delivery.
