We are partnering with an internationally recognised Consulting firm who play a leading role in re-imagining and delivering the spaces, systems, and infrastructure of tomorrow. With broad expertise across over 150 specialist areas, they provide strategic insight and practical solutions to complex challenges in the built world.

Shape the Future of Operational Excellence

Our client is seeking an experienced and driven Associate Consultant to lead and deliver operational and business process improvement projects. This is an outstanding opportunity to work at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and transformation - guiding clients across sectors such as science and industry, energy, transport, and water.

This position is ideal for a candidate with a strong consulting background who thrives in client-facing environments and is passionate about using data, systems thinking, and collaborative leadership to solve complex operational challenges.

What Makes This Opportunity Exceptional

  • Impact at Scale - Deliver strategic, high-value projects with global clients, influencing operational change in key sectors shaping society's future.
  • Leadership & Growth - Be a central figure in a growing team with the opportunity to shape capability, win work, and drive regional presence.
  • Innovation-Driven - Apply Lean, Six Sigma, and other industry best practices in a forward-thinking, solutions-focused environment.
  • Purposeful Work - Join a consultancy with a strong ethical foundation and a mission to deliver socially valuable, sustainable solutions.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage client-facing consulting projects (valued up to ~£5m), ensuring technical excellence, budget control, and measurable impact.
  • Apply operational excellence and business performance improvement tools to redesign and optimise processes.
  • Conduct performance diagnostics, develop business cases for change, and implement readiness strategies for transformation initiatives.
  • Guide multidisciplinary teams and collaborate with clients to align operations with strategic objectives, improve efficiency, and enhance resilience.
  • Contribute to the development of methodologies, tools, and thought leadership in the field of operations consulting.
  • Help grow the practice by building internal networks, nurturing client relationships, and contributing to proposal development and strategic bids.

What You'll Bring

  • A degree (or equivalent experience) in operations, engineering, business, or related field.
  • Lean / Six Sigma Black Belt qualification.
  • Proven experience in delivering operational improvement in consultancy or client environments, particularly within science & industry, transport, water, or energy.
  • Strong ability to identify client needs, develop tailored solutions, and build long-term client relationships.
  • Comfortable leading diverse teams and managing the technical and commercial aspects of complex consulting projects.

What’s in It for You

  • A dynamic, supportive consultancy environment that fosters personal growth, autonomy, and long-term career development.
  • A reward structure designed around collective success, including profit share and a holistic benefits package.
  • The chance to work on projects that deliver lasting impact - for clients, communities, and the built environment.

This is more than a consulting role - it's an opportunity to be part of a mission-driven, globally respected organisation with the scale to make real change, and the agility to let you influence how that change happens.
