Recruiting at Director level with High Tech Businesses

Location: Bristol / South West – HYBRID

Package: Competitive Salary + Excellent Benefits

Turn your passion for engineering and science into real-world impact.

Do you thrive on solving complex detail? Does your background in chemistry or engineering drive a curiosity for uncovering what went wrong and why? Join a team of elite investigators working at the intersection of science, engineering, and detective work.

What You’ll Do:

As a Forensic Engineering Consultant, you’ll delve deep into the causes behind some of the most fascinating and high-profile incidents, from boiler fires to mechanical and electrical incidents. This is a career where every case is different and every investigation demands a fresh, scientific approach.

You’ll be:

Visiting incident sites across the south west to assess damage and gather critical evidence
Conducting on-site information, capturing detailed documentation, and observing physical samples
Performing hands-on dismantling of machinery and equipment to trace the origin of failures
Collaborating with labs and external partners to run tests and simulations
Turning complex data and physical findings into compelling, concise reports for clients

What We’re Looking For:

A strong honours degree in Electrical Engineering or Chemistry or a related discipline
On the path to, or already holding, Chartered status in your field
Ideally a postgraduate qualification (MSc or PhD) in a relevant scientific area
Excellent communication skills, you can explain technical findings to both experts and laypeople alike
A flexible mindset – ready to take on unexpected challenges and fieldwork when needed
A few solid years of hands-on, post-degree experience under your belt

About the Company:

Join a globally respected forensic engineering consultancy known for its in-depth investigations and scientific rigour. With operations across the UK and abroad, their team of expert scientists and engineers solve complex failures for major insurance and risk management clients around the world.

If you’re ready for a truly unique role where no two days are the same—and where your scientific skills can uncover the truth behind major incidents—we’d love to hear from you.
