We operate across multiple sectors, including defence, energy, and health.
We are looking for a Senior Consultant to join our Systems Engineering team as we go through our next phase of growth.

Key activities may include:
- Leading a technical team on short-term tasks, providing clients with evidence-based analysis and recommendations to solve technical problems.
- Being deployed on longer-term, large-scale programmes, operating within a team delivering products and artefacts as part of a wider service or solution.
