Consultant – Senior Consultant, Infrastructure in Manchester

The Infrastructure & Capital programmes team is part of Deloitte's Major Programmes practice (part of the wider Human Capital offering). Major Programmes typically involve the delivery of a major capital asset or infrastructure through large, complex programmes that require significant investments and span multiple years. Historically, most Programmes of this scale and impact fail to deliver value, on time and on budget. Over the last 50 years, the world has changed significantly, but the approach to tackling these increasingly cross-cutting, capital intensive and technologically complex programmes has not evolved at the same pace.

Our clients look to us and our deep and broad programme delivery expertise to lead them through complex transformations and implement new and effective ways to deliver major programmes. Our market leading next generation delivery approach, Programme Aerodynamics, replaces siloed, conventional, linear thinking with multidisciplinary capability to help our clients deliver their most critical and demanding programmes while reinforcing Deloitte's commitment to purpose-led change.

Programme Aerodynamics is a fundamentally new approach bringing together mindsets, expertise, methodologies, and solutions from Strategy, Programme, Digital, Programme Leadership and Human Centred Transformation to better anticipate, shape and manage change in Major Programmes. It empowers project leaders to effectively anticipate and manage change, risk, and uncertainty across a programme's lifecycle, shaping its success.

Our practice comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry (in both technical and non-technical roles) and those who have prior consulting experience. The strength and value Major Programmes bring to our clients and Deloitte is a result of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage this diverse range of skillsets and experiences.

You will have the opportunity to work across a range of impactful programmes, building your skills and experience on the job, as well as supported by our world class professional development approach. You will also experience the breadth of what Deloitte offers, working with colleagues across a range of disciplines in a dynamic and collaborative environment and drawing on our market leading methods, and our global assets and tools.
